A Lesson For Libertarians: "You can be mean if you look this clean":

Early Saturday evening I was walking in downtown San Francisco, when I heard some very loud music. As I got closer, I noticed it was in an alley, with maybe just a couple of hundred people around. But the music sounded very professional and I started recording on my cell phone,

As I listened to the lyrics, I liked what I heard.

Here's what I recorded:



Here's a studio version of the song (Note well: Over 25 million plays). Listen to the lyrics closely and watch the video carefully. There's a lesson here for libertarians, if the crackdown comes.



Here are the lyrics:

My name calling all night
I can pull the wool while I'm being polite
Like, darling calling all night
I can be a bull while I'm being polite
Like, oh me, oh me oh my
I know many women want to be in my life
Like, oh me, oh me oh my
Why can't every woman end up being my wife?

[Pre-Hook]
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away

[Hook]
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Calling on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man
Yeah baby I'm a classic man

[Verse 2]
I burn through the hood like whoa
When everybody's feeling so cold
I cool like Nat King Cole
And niggas get a bit of my glow
I got charm like a leprechaun, mummafunka
Now y'all fucking with the wrong mummafunka
Chief be like a don, mummafunka
And we don't live by the law, mummafunka

[Pre-Hook]
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away

[Hook]
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Calling on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man
Yeah baby I'm a classic man

[Verse 3: Roman GianArthur]
I burn through the gate like whoa
And everybody get in, we know
I love life, living like gold
And niggas wanna get in my glow
I got mad love for my crew, mu'fucker
I'm the- I'm the man, who you mu'fucker?
Shine bright like a jewel, mummafunka
Even under fire I'm cool, mummafunka

[Pre-Hook 2: Roman GianArthur]
Even when she go away, even when she go away
Even when she go away, even when she go away

[Hook: Jidenna]
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Calling on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man
Yeah baby I'm a classic man

[Verse 4]
Keep my gloves dirty but my hands clean
Got to keep the business in the family
Breadwinner filling up the pantry
Now my niggas slang cane like a dandy
I tell you how it go
You pull out rubber bands, I pull out an envelope
The ladies on my elbow ain't for the show
Every madame on my team is a top general, oh
Got to be ready for war, war
Should they get into my door, door?
Get 'em, we'll get 'em, I know that we'll get 'em
Cause I lived through this shit before, oh

[Hook]
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Calling on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man
Yeah baby I'm a classic man

[Outro]
I'm a classic man
I'm a classic man
I'm a classic man
Old fashioned man
I'm a classic man
