Food
A.J. Jamal Lyrics

Cookin in this kitchen
Preparing my craft and doing it well.

This is soul food
My art comes from the heart and nourishes the soul.

These niggas chicken no beefin
Many people talk a big game, but don't want real conflict.

All of this tofu
Many people lack substance and originality. They are bland like tofu.

Within the seasons
Just like the seasons, I adapt and evolve my style over time.

I spice it up with some old blues
I incorporate my roots and heritage in my craft.

Set a price before I deliver these haikus
My talent is valuable and I know my worth.

My rhymes is juju
My words have a mystical quality, almost like a magic spell.

Like you watchin a movie on Vudu (voodoo)
My performance is captivating and otherworldly.

I don't Netflix and chill
I don't waste time on frivolous activities.

I Hulu and kill pussy
I focus on pursuing my goals and being successful in all aspects of life.

Hire a lawyer to make the deals for me
I make smart decisions about my career and understand the value of having legal representation.

Cause this boss is busy gettin drug money
I am ambitious and always working on building my success.

I'm shootin if you steal from me
I protect what is mine and don't tolerate disrespect.

This your rent and your dad money
I take what I am owed and don't let anything slide.

I tell that bitch to bend it over for me
I am sexually confident and able to get what I want.

She comfortable for a stripper
Even people who are outwardly confident and secure still have vulnerabilities.

Used to them fuck niggas
She has had bad experiences with men, but still finds pleasure in me.

But she pop it open for me
She is willing to please me and engage in sexual activities.

Get on yo feet
Stand up and take action towards your goals.

And ride this horse like it's a saddle on me
Take control of the situation and give it your all.

You don't forget your sword in battle homie
Always be prepared and don't neglect your defenses.

Whether you slayin pussy or shootin back
Whether you're pursuing women or protecting yourself, always have a plan.

In the back of your mind remindin you to be strapped
Always stay alert and ready to take action when necessary.

And make sure whatever you choose that it stay intact
Be responsible and protect what you have worked hard for.

Either way you facin the threat of attack
There are always obstacles and challenges in life that you will face.

You takin cover or takin over
Decide if you want to play defense or offense in life.

Make sure you that you get all of your shit together
Be organized and proactive about your life.

So you can carry the world on your back
Be strong and able to handle the burdens that come with life.

You just another lil nigga that rap
Many rappers lack originality and substance.

But they admit that you nice
Despite this, people recognize my talent and skill.

So you don't really look for advice
I am confident in my abilities and don't need validation from others.

Especially if they compare you to the best on the mic
Comparison to other well-known artists does not intimidate me.

But i'm the best on the mic
I know I am the most talented and skilled artist out there.

My words has changed peoples lives
My music has had a positive impact on many people.

And exposed niggas lies
I speak truth to power and expose phonies and liars in the industry.

And it might have cut ties
My music may have caused me to lose some relationships or connections.

With negativity following me from Savannah to Maryland
I have faced negativity and obstacles throughout my life, regardless of location.

Where all my family and parents be
I have faced these obstacles even in my personal life and relationships.

Lost a branch in the family tree
I have gone through family losses and breakups.

Not even a seed or some soil is fixin this tree we growin
Some issues cannot be corrected or repaired, they must be left behind.

I'm loaded up with this weed
I use marijuana as a way to relax and cope with stress.

Cause I done lost a friend to police
I have faced loss and pain due to police brutality.

Rest in peace to the deceased
I honor and remember those who have passed away in my life.

We soared with flying colors
Despite the challenges, we overcame and succeeded in our endeavors.

Nothing like the LGBT
My experiences and struggles are unique and differ from those in the LGBTQ+ community.

My respect is high for these niggas
I respect the LGBTQ+ community and the struggles they have faced.

Or bitches
I also respect women and their experiences in the industry and in life.

Or whatever they need to be
I acknowledge and respect people's different identities and expressions.
