Free Press and Curl Songtext
von Shabazz Palaces

Dance machine in the brown
Juicy lips watchin′ glow
In the sauce, ah
I cried with Mooch at papi's wake
Snuck an extra slice of cake
When the pigs came round to make their case
I looked ′em dead up in they face
I never heard of none of that
Soon's I win, let's run it back
I run on feelings, fuck your facts
Deception is the truest act
With poise I twirl the bluest slack
Dougie hold the ooh-est sacks
I danced a move to play the back
I dipped she asked him "Who was that?"
(I ain′t showed off,
I just showed up
Greet my peoples, fill they cup
Transmit heat on pillows plush
I mean it though, I lean and flow


I gleam and glow, I′m clean
And oh you bet ya that I get it bro
Inside the glow just not for show
Green beans, purples, indigo
Catchy yes but trendy no
Never finished scheming though
That's beneath Barbara Jean′s offspring
With po, I never seem to know
(Gunbeats comprise arsenal)
Up or don't toss it all (Up or don′t toss it all)
Up or don't toss it all (Up or don′t toss it all)
Yeah, up or don't toss it at all
Philosophy is cruelty in
Both musically and bitch-wise too
I lost the best beat that I had
Now my heart just smash and dash
War inside I catch a cab
It pouring out, I'm to the left
These robots grant us internet
Program racist sequences
Don′t compare my beat with his
He ain′t from these streets, he's slid
I′m free, shit you know I'm free, nigga, I′m free
Yeah, you know I'm free, shit, I′m free
To be enslaved to all these things I can't escape
Trapped inside imagination tickling at my face
You know I'm free, bitch you know I′m free
Baby girl, I′m free, yeah, you know I'm free
Free to chain my will onto the wings of my instinct
And wander round this box I′m inextricably linked
You know I'm. free, I′m free, I'm free
Shit you know I′m free, that's right I'm free
To make consume to catch the stuff that holds me down
To capture my desires fashion out of this a crown
You know I′m free, shit you know I′m free
Pig, you know I'm free (?) I′m super free
Free to fill my smiles up with these tears that I forgot
And haunt myself besides these pretty ghosts that float my heart
You know I'm free
Thou Shalt.
Bask in the light of my phone screen glow
Thumbs realize everyone I know
Freedom′s cold newest episode
Yeah one more smile and we're undertow
Let′s go, let's go, let's go, let′s go
Put minds in for a fresher world
Old school hood nigga, press and curl
Eyes like moons when I kiss my girl
Get lucked out, wish I was in Africa
Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo
