Jenkins, Mick - The Session Lyrics

You'd never expect it from him right?
Please don't confuse shade with the shadows from dim lights
I been bright
I been in spaces dark as midnight
My pen write on both
My insight on both is skin tight
In spite of the fact that I'm inside the hoax
All my niggas got a horcrux or two or four
We don't die, we multiply but you knew that already
Shift the culture, we do that already
If you don't give me credit for nothing but making kids in Chicago drink more water
I proved that already
I'm someone with influence who'll use that to better the youth
And that don't make me better than you
But as far as this rap shit goes
If Drake ain't holding down Quentin Miller why the fuck would I ever give any credit to you
We learning the business
We keep us some sage
We shit on these niggas then burn up some incense
Drop off the album and turn up the interest
Make 'em pay interest
Since they was so disinterested before
Like it wasn't this intricate
Or we didn't use instruments before
Check that insolence at the door
Or, it can get a lot more intimate than you expected
The underrated and often neglected
Are often expected to deal with it

[Hook: Mick Jenkins]
I think y'all niggas got me fucked up
But I cannot go for that, no, oh-oh
I think y'all niggas got me fucked up (fucked up, fucked up, fucked up)
But I cannot go for that, no, oh-oh
(God did not make me that way, God did not make me that way)

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
And as I was saying
The underrated and often neglected
Are often expected to deal with it
Like we in here off a meal ticket or something
The lack of respect is astounding
And I refuse to accept it
Niggas talking crazy
(I think y'all niggas got me fucked up)
And you not finna tell me that I'm crazy
Cause I choose to correct it
Rather than play unaffected
Check my demeanor
Still waters run deep as the love and the serve from Serena
Balls in my court and we serving subpoenas
Don't miss this jet ho
Don't miss this view
Straight truth, no tricks, no presto
It's drink more water, don't trip off petrol
Just sip the kool-aid
The same wrist that makes this whip the Pesto
Break bread with me
Better yet, bake bread with me
We be so worried bout how much we need the dough
We tend to forget the little things we need to know
Like how to knead the dough
If done properly it won't spread so thin when your people show
It happened to me, I peeped it though
Before I hit my peak, young Pistol Pete
I could thread the needle through three peep holes
I'm four iPhones and two pencils deep at this point
The cliffs don't seem so steep at this point
And all I see is wolves and sheep at this point
No Lil' Bo Peep

[Hook: Mick Jenkins]
I think y'all niggas got me fucked up
But I cannot go for that, no, oh-oh
I think y'all niggas got me fucked up (fucked up, fucked up, fucked up)
But I cannot go for that, no, oh-oh
(God did not make me that way, God did not make me that way)

[Bridge: Michael Anthony]
Who could wish
Who could wish, wish and go away, oh
Dreaming is living
It's your world now

[Outro]
Water[s] was just the introduction to the idea that there's this truth...niggas been missin', right? But I feel like people, don't know what that truth was. I wasn't very specific about what that was. So...in looking for how to be specific about what that is because there's so much that needs to be told to people, you understand what I'm saying. Uh, love came to me as a, as, what should be a focus because that's the focus of Jesus' message on Earth. You know what I'm saying and if that's what leads my life, which is my faith then it only makes sense to start there

We don't Die - We Multiply

DOPE

this shit gives me chills everytime i listen to it

Who's still here in 2019..?

I almost cried and I dont even know why 🤣😂

"I feel so misunderstood
Out here losing my mind..."

How has this only have 144,881 views, this needs to be shared and Mick needs to sing more, perform and release tracks like this.

This was fucking beautiful

I accidentally sent this link to my mother who absolutely HATES rap and she called me and said "why the fuck did you send me that song? It was so touching it literally made me cry."

This is something deeper that "rap".

Came back for the chills

Or could write me sheet music.

How can I find sheet music to play this?!?!?

Pheew... Mick is on some next shit

only 136,058 views ..smh

Performing Art at its finest 👌...

And Mick Jenkins the most whitest of a names 😂 tho, out here being underated af mxm! your music is something else guy. Ngenye imini (Some day) they will listen, they will.

Raw talent.

New level of water.

I love this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I had to get a cup out the dishwasher and pour me a cup of water after this shit.

is this version on spotify somewhere?

"the cliffs dont seem so steep at this point"....

I love this so much more than the official track for the album. Stripping this track down really made you focus so much more on the lyrics

is there a way we can get the notes to the piano part?

Just amazing

Anyone know where I can get a download for the full show? seems to be expired on the BBC website.

Mick got that holy water

Exactly one year later and this is still so damn refreshing. Mick never disappoints 🙇🌊🌊🌊

Mick Jenkins the young Common

Every time I listen to this I play it over 3 or 4....teen times.

Real shit!

incredible..

Jheeeez ☹️❤️

Does anyone have the piano sheet music for this?

Na leave an email and i can shoot you the midi file though you can copy it from there.

My nigga Mick change my perspectives on artists

Hella underrated 🙄🙄🙄

2000 likes 14 dislikes his KD must be higher than my lack of a ceiling.

Yo I love this man and what he stands for. Straight up. Thank you mick for all you do and speak.

Billy III in Boise

brilliance!!

Mmmmmmmmm...I get goosebumps listening to this musical performance. I love the piano, and with Mick riding on it, mmm, it's more than what meets the eye and ears, it feels like my soul separates from the body and Im taken to place where time doesnt exist. Its too amazing!!!!!!

2:04-2:20 you can literally hear and see his emotion. He almost chokes up because of the realness of those bars. Tooooo much water

The cliffs don't seem so steep at this point
That's a cry for help y'all

hoooollly shitt

His voice makes my lady parts tingle

truly amazing artist. thank you mick jenkins <3

can someone pleeeaase write tabs or something my heart needs to learn how to play this on piano

his singing 😭❤

That Drake ain't holding Quentin Miller bar was 🔥🔥 and too true. Q.M. Is too nice and drake wont acknowledge him.

anyone have the piano for this?

can anybody watch this and then say rap isn't art? like? Rap is straight up poetry and these verses by mick are like more than music to my ears but love to my ears

I came here to recover from the XXL freestyles

no way...
this is deep....

When Mick started singing I already knew he was spiritually woke, the sound is euphoric. I can tell by how he rhymes he's much aware of this world

Lyrical skills... Lyrical content... Lyrical spills....

!!! The essense of rap is that it is poetry over a rhythm.. The rap/poetry Mick writes and then recites is really deep conceptually; It's hard to even fully understand as he raps what he's conveying, however, I believe this is how rap is suppsoed to exist, to express yourself and how you really feel and what you really think about you/others/your-world, as opposed to completely focusing on bling, fads, and insults.. For that reason I respect Micks music and I'm glad he shares it with the world

I love this version so much more, the tone just seems so much more fitting

id like to see more of this from modern rappers honestly this was fire

id like to see more of this from modern rappers honestly this was fire

I think somebody missed the point

CHICAGO

Could somebody please find this piano instrumental for me

the last comment was 4 months ago, but ive been playing this at least once a day for 6 months lol

Hip hop is like the greatest thing in the world maybe

mick the best rapper ryt now or 1 of the best ryt now next 2 chance, Alex , saba , supa n a whole lot more from Chicago.

WOW WOW WOW

I prefer this version of the song. Stripped to its core: clear, thought-provoking, beautiful.

So beautiful.

And to think the album has just cracked 250,000 views. This mans mindset and awareness should be taught as curriculum in America

I will bake bread with you Mick

beautifully orchestrated

emotional af

I am so in love o m g

a month ago i herd one song from him.. all i needed hear to decide he was my favorite artist(besides God) and it wouldnt ever change. Be real rappers. Do it for the free! seek more truth! So Right on Mick! I thank him for not being scared to be different! most these rappers scared tho! like one piece their jewlery could feed an entire nation, Dont even try it. you scared young trappers! 😱

don't lemme catch you lackin'

"FUCKED UP OUTRO" DUUUUUUDE!!! THC IS BEAUTIFUL BRUH!!!

just bawled my eyes out. Mick is one of the best

This performance should be on the Grammys stage

Jordan Wright imagine! That would be awesome

Drink waters after mission 💦

3:09-3:12 dick so good it gave him flashbacks

hes bare waved here hahah yes mick, mad ratings for this one.

Love it that he actually drinks a cup of water in the end of this poetry session

He made me cry on the inside n out no lie

definitely one of the true talents in hip-hop

this should have been the instrumental for the real song frfr

don't die we mmultiply

love this man. his music's changed my life
