Need a Knot - Brother Ali

I need a knot whether the bread is for me or not

I need a knot whether the bread is for me or not

I need a knot whether the bread is for me or not

Show me the spot

I had to get paper use to move white

Did it 24/7 morning noon night

Had to hit the block early in my true life

Scraping on the concrete in the moonlight

Powerful supply got that powder from the sky

I could always get it where you want it by tonight

Love the fluffy white but I take it wet and hard

Push it off the sidewalk dump it in the yard

I’m a hustler, was cold blooded

All my customers their nose running

Got my muscles up pitching whole bundles

I ain’t selling cocaine I had a snow shovel

I use to chop green put it in a bag

Up and down the street let my money stack

They knew every week that I was coming back

No sticks kept it clean right and exact

Talking green sticky never brown crispy

Worse thing for my paper was when the drought hit me

I know my mama know because my pockets swoll

Soon as I walk through the door she smell it on my clothes

But I got to roll keep it pushing hot or cold

I gas it up I’m hitting every house on the road

Got to get it how I live I’m going hard for it

It ain’t no marijuana man I push a lawn mower

When I was sixteen I had crew of girls

Get them clean send them off out into the world

Use to come and see the kid to get their head right

Shorty talk all you want to just get my bread right

Never split the ends wasn’t nothing soft

Had to get some trim then I cut them off

You know I bend their back I kept them in them tracks

You got some new growth baby better bring them stacks

Steady go upside her head but she can’t complain

I run that same old game baby no pain no gain

You got some paper and you trying to see some cuties holler

I ain’t a pimp I’m sweeping hair up at the beauty parlor
