Jenkins, Mick - Alchemy Lyrics






It's like turning nothing into everything
Starting with scraps and redefining what society thinks is quality
Like who thought up the golden standard the haves?
The have nots ask not what you can do for them but what have you done?
I mean you're sick and you're tired and you're hungry and you're thirsty
And you take that first bite or drink, you sip slow
Because truth is harsh but it burns, but it's also addictive
You want more till you...
Drink more water

Flooded the market, murdering flows it's blood on the carpet
A crime scene, gave 'em the light
Wait 'till I turn on the high beams
Niggas ain't seeing me
Drunk off this water you might just see 3 of me
Don't greet me as God, my nigga I ain't no deity
Take off them water wings, I'm losing water weight I been on creatine
Curing my countenance, creating this gold from the lead in my pencil
I think I'm a alchemist, and it's gon take courage no cowardly dogs
In the pound, we don't want 'em round
No love lost or found, don't give a fuck bout a clown
Bit 'em with the Pros conversation profound
I was down on my luck but I'm still myself
Drinking all this water tryna heal myself
Know I keep it real even steal homie
Just want you to feel It I don't really ever feel myself
Remember when I had to find a meal myself
Fresh out of jail, crashed at my nigga Slims
He ain't think twice bout the shit
The move was a roll of the dice
Know the lord on my side cause them 63rd nights was a bitch
Always knew that life wasn't this though
Still had to get right with the wrist wrote this though
With a little light and a pistol
Lowkey, peep how he keep the peace, you know me

They say I be talking bout water too much
You hear that?
That's how many fucks I could give
Still I got love for a hater would give up a rib
They say they confused about ginger ale
Well come have a sip when it's chill
Y'all need to chill
People tell me I'm that nigga now
I know none of that shit is real

    Chills, man. CHILLS!

  45. r.... s....

    I watched an interview with Chris Travis, Xavier Wulf, Bones, and Eddie Baker. At one point Chris Travis was saying how he started the whole water motif and the interviewer said something about Mick Jenkins and Chris Travis was like "I started all that water shit". Made me laugh because Chris Travis is wack and pretty boring in my opinion, and to compare him to how Mick Jenkins uses the water idea is ridiculous.

  46. G.... ....

    MICK JENKINS MAN!

  56. M.... M....

    You have you're young thugs, who make fire beats, and crazy flow, but the lyrical content is lacking and somewhat detrimental. You have you're Kendrick Lamars, who has lyrical content and fire beats, but arent trying hard enough, You have your Beast Coast types who speak out, have a message, have amazing beats, but are held back by their need for money. Mick, Mick is pure, amazing beats, an amazing message, poetry, its beautiful to listen to, it gives me goosebumps because no one has ever accomplished such perfection in speaking to a generation. God bless the real GOAT.

    M.... M....

    Young Thug dropped an album and then a new song the next day, thats putting in work. Regardless of what you think of young thug hes an actor doing stupid shit to make money and its funny as fuck. Doesn't mean hes better then KDot by any means human, Im not trolling, Kdot could be featuring on tracks and puttin shit out but hes not, he could drop shit left right n center but hes not. The way we listen to music is changing, we are rapidly going from song to song, artist to artist, i dont think Kdot is meeting his fans needs rn bro.

    M.... M....

    @Mars McCarrick Quality > Quantity . It's not his fault that people have the attention span of a fly these days. People are still talking about his albums. Young Thug will be forgotten within 10 years. 

    M.... M....

    @Mars McCarrick Drops 2 of the most acclaimed rap albums of the decade, inspires a new generation of competition in hip-hop, draws attention to the disparity and depraved condition on living in the ghettos of america to a mainstream audience, all while preaching a message of self-love in both a poetic and candid fashion
    >fell off


    Go listen to almost any jazz classic and grow up a bit before offering your opinion on TPAB, or on music in general son

    M.... M....

    @Mars McCarrick Stan harder bro.

    M.... M....

    This comment gave me cancer and AIDS

  57. G.... C....

    Gem. Well done Mick!

  58. J.... ....

    I just sit and vibe to this, wish it was longer, can't wait for Wave[s]

  59. c.... c....

    Why isn't this song more popular..

  60. G.... S....

    The three idiots that didn't like this song. Go back to young thugs wack ass. Lol

  62. G.... ....

    Mick Jenkins is the future for Chicago. Chance opened the gate and now the actual spitters are finally getting exposed.

    G.... ....

    Kanye???! Lupe???!!

    G.... ....

    Give Common, Twista, Lupe Rhymefest, and Kanye credit for laying the foundation. Much love to young Mick. Keep going in young bro. Peace to Chitown from Htown.

    G.... ....

    What's going on with Mikkey?

    G.... ....

    Lupe opened the gate!

    G.... ....

    I think common opened that gate.. then twista.. then kanye.. then chance.

  63. D.... C....

  69. M.... B....

    I looked up Alchemy and that shit is very very deep if your willing to think out the box. He is amazing to incorporate this with rap. He will be a Kendrick or J.Cole

    M.... B....

    @TheProdigalEnigma So ur saying that those subjects dont need to be talked about ? Fuck on. Like kendrick said "Im not here to give u music that u want, im here to give u music that u need"

    M.... B....

    @xSMELLmyF33Tx Finally, that one nigga to come along, not understanding the context of a comment. Misconstruing it and looking like a fool in the process. GG sir. GG

    M.... B....

    No one can be Kendrick or j.cole you fuh nigga
