free press and curl - Shabazz Palaces

Dance machine in the brown

Juicy lips watchin' glow

In the sauce, ah

I cried with Mooch at papi’s wake

Snuck an extra slice of cake

When the pigs came round to make their case

I looked 'em dead up in they face

I never heard of none of that

Soon’s I win, let’s run it back

I run on feelings, fuck your facts

Deception is the truest act

With poise I twirl the bluest slack

Dougie hold the ooh-est sacks

I danced a move to play the back

I dipped she asked him «Who was that?»

(I ain’t showed off,

I just showed up

Greet my peoples, fill they cup

Transmit heat on pillows plush

I mean it though, I lean and flow

I gleam and glow, I’m clean

And oh you bet ya that I get it bro

Inside the glow just not for show

Green beans, purples, indigo

Catchy yes but trendy no

Never finished scheming though

That’s beneath Barbara Jean’s offspring

With po, I never seem to know

(Gunbeats comprise arsenal)

Up or don’t toss it all (Up or don’t toss it all)

Up or don’t toss it all (Up or don’t toss it all)

Yeah, up or don’t toss it at all

Philosophy is cruelty in

Both musically and bitch-wise too

I lost the best beat that I had

Now my heart just smash and dash

War inside I catch a cab

It pouring out, I’m to the left

These robots grant us internet

Program racist sequences

Don’t compare my beat with his

He ain’t from these streets, he’s slid

I’m free, shit you know I’m free, nigga, I’m free

Yeah, you know I’m free, shit, I’m free

To be enslaved to all these things I can’t escape

Trapped inside imagination tickling at my face

You know I’m free, bitch you know I’m free

Baby girl, I’m free, yeah, you know I’m free

Free to chain my will onto the wings of my instinct

And wander round this box I’m inextricably linked

You know I’m.

free, I’m free, I’m free

Shit you know I’m free, that’s right I’m free

To make consume to catch the stuff that holds me down

To capture my desires fashion out of this a crown

You know I’m free, shit you know I’m free

Pig, you know I’m free (?) I’m super free

Free to fill my smiles up with these tears that I forgot

And haunt myself besides these pretty ghosts that float my heart

You know I’m free

Thou Shalt.

Bask in the light of my phone screen glow

Thumbs realize everyone I know

Freedom’s cold newest episode

Yeah one more smile and we’re undertow

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

Put minds in for a fresher world

Old school hood nigga, press and curl

Eyes like moons when I kiss my girl

Get lucked out, wish I was in Africa

Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo
