Classic Man
Jidenna Lyrics

My name calling all night
People are constantly trying to get my attention and know who I am.

I could pull the wool while I'm being polite
I have the ability to deceive others while still maintaining my polite demeanor.

Like darling calling all night
People are constantly trying to be close to me, like a lover calling all night.

I can be a bull while I'm being polite
Despite my polite nature, I am not afraid of confrontation and will stand up for myself if necessary.

Like oh me, oh me oh my
I am aware that I am attractive and many people desire to be in my life.

Why can't every woman end up being my wife?
I long for a committed relationship with one woman and wonder why it is so difficult to find.

Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if the woman I am with decides to leave, I will remain a strong and confident individual.

You could be mean when you look this clean
Despite my polished appearance and gentlemanly demeanor, I know that people may still judge and dislike me.

Calling on me like a young OG
People look up to me and see me as a young influential figure, like an OG (original gangster).

Your needs get met by the street elegant old fashioned man
I am a man of the streets and I will meet your needs, but I carry myself in an elegant and old-fashioned manner.

Yeah baby I'm a classic man
I am a sophisticated, fashionable, and timeless man.

I burn through the hood like whoa
I am a powerful and influential figure who is recognized in every part of the city.

When everybody's feeling so cold
In a world that can be cruel and emotionless, I bring warmth and positivity.

I'm cool like Nat King Cole
I embody the charm, style, and grace of legendary singer Nat King Cole.

And niggas get a bit of my glow
I inspire others with my confident and successful aura, causing them to strive for the same.

I got charm like a leprechaun, mummafunka
I have a natural charisma and enchantment like that of a leprechaun.

Now y'all fucking with the wrong mummafunka
Those who underestimate or challenge me are making a mistake.

Treat me like a don, mummafunka
I deserve respect and admiration like that of a powerful mafia boss.

And we don't live by the law, mummafunka
I am unafraid of breaking the rules and living life on my own terms.

Your needs get met by the street elegant old fashioned man
I am a man who can provide what you need, but I carry myself with sophistication and a classic style.

I burn through the gate like whoa
I surpass any obstacle or challenge that stands in my way with ease and confidence.

And everybody get it, we know
Everyone knows about my success and ability to achieve what I want, it is no secret.

A love life, living like gold
I live a life full of love and riches, like that of gold.

And niggas wanna get in my glow
People want to be a part of my success and follow in my footsteps.

I got mad love for my crew, mummafunka
I have immense love and respect for my team and those who support me.

I'm the man, who are you mummafunka?
I am an influential and powerful figure, and I ask who others are in comparison.

Shine bright like a jewel, mummafunka
I radiate success and brilliance like that of a precious gem.

Even under fire I'm cool, mummafunka
Even in difficult or dangerous situations, I remain calm and in control.

Keep my gloves dirty but my hands clean
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty in order to achieve my goals, but I maintain my integrity and a clean reputation.

Got to keep the business in the family
It is crucial that my team and I stick together and handle things internally, like a family.

Fat when I'm filling up the pantry
I am successful and wealthy, able to stock my pantry with food and drinks.

Now my niggas slang 'caine like a dandy
My team is successful in the drug trade, and they do so with confidence and style.

You pull out rubber bands, I pull out an envelope
While others may flaunt their wealth with rubber bands full of cash, I keep my money in a more secure and organized manner.

The ladies on my elbow ain't for the show
The women I am seen with are not just for show or status, there is a genuine connection there.

Every madame on my team is a top general, oh
Every woman on my team is a strong and powerful leader, like a top general in an army.

Got to be ready for war, war
I am always prepared for any challenges or battles that may come my way.

Should they get into my door, door?
If someone were to try and threaten me or my success, would they be able to get past my defenses?

Get 'em, we'll get 'em, I know that we'll get 'em
If someone tries to stop us, we will band together and overpower them, I have faith in our strength and unity.
