Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist – Babies & Fools (ft. Conway the Machine) (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist Babies & Fools

The Conway-featuring “Babies & Fools” was a standout cut that paired the two rappers against a subdued Alchemist beat that was reminiscent of his finest work with Curren$y.

As the Bruce Hibbard sample swerves in and out of focus, Gibbs and Conway discuss family, love, and the things that deserve all of their devotion. Gibbs effortlessly attacks the smooth instrumental with quick witted bars and makes it look easy: “alhamdulillah on the nights that I wasn’t having sh*t/I say my prayers but I’m rusty as f*ck with Arabic.”

The video finds the two rappers enjoying a night out throwing money at the booty club. The contrast between the dancers twerking (with face masks on, in case you were wondering) and the sluggish instrumental makes for an interesting effect that suits the after-hours vibe.

Lyrics

[Intro: Freddie Gibbs]
Yeah
Kane Train
Toot a lil’ somethin’, somethin’
Let’s smoke a lil’ somethin’, somethin’, yeah
A bitch could never (All of me)
Ha, never, bitch, yeah (All of me)
Yeah, real nigga, what’s up?

[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]
My first love was football from playin’ that Madden shit
My second love was hard drugs, weed and this rappin’ shit
Alhamdulillah on the nights that I wasn’t havin’ shit
I say my prayers but I’m rusty as fuck with Arabic
Lord, take me as I am ’cause I’m gon’ come as I’m is
I might die twice if I look down and see my mama in tears

[Refrain]
I gave her (All of me), uh
But I ain’t gon’ never die (All of me), uh
Bitch, I could never, what’s up?

[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
I know the Lord watch over babies and fools
I did the fooly with this tool to put my babies through school
I took my last ho out the country, fuck that bitch, we ain’t cool
Hit them DMs, a nigga can’t swim, but I fucked her friend by the pool
‘Cause she was tour pussy, I never needed that bitch
She cussed me out in long-ass texts, but I ain’t readin’ them shits

[Refrain: Freddie Gibbs]
She wanted (All of me)
But you could never have (All of me), haha, yeah
Bitch, you could never, what’s up?

[Verse 3: Freddie Gibbs]
Uh, James Harden, I had to take a step back from bitches and certain niggas (Yeah)
Sometimes you slip to get the success, then you start hurtin’ feelings
Used to have the hardtop, yes, now I convert the ceiling
Friends was tryna count my pockets like I don’t deserve a million
Bitch, I deserve a trillion
‘Cause I would’ve did a trillion years for these niggas
Whole bid for these niggas

[Refrain: Freddie Gibbs]
I gave ’em (All of me)
Nigga, I gave the streets (All of me)
I’m fallin’ back, what’s up?

[Verse 4: Conway the Machine]
Look, my first love was writin’ verses and rappin’ bars (Yeah)
My second love was sittin’ on bandos and trappin’ hard (Huh?)
Hospital bed, bullet in my neck and a fractured jaw
Call it crazy, but I always knew I’d bounce back this hard (I always knew)
Who got the matte black MAC? That’s to match the car (Uh-huh)
I got that ’cause I been clapped before

[Refrain: Conway the Machine]
Gave these streets (All of me)
Nigga, I gave the streets (All of me)

[Verse 5: Conway the Machine]
Uh, I’m on tour, I’m on the road just hustlin’ and shit
My baby mama cut me off, she had enough of my shit (She sick of my shit)
I’ll Cashapp stacks every now and then, like that’s enough
She like, “At least FaceTime, your babies don’t see your ass enough” (You right)
Plus my older son is failin’ math, that shit ain’t addin’ up
I guess I ain’t around bein’ a dad enough, I owe my kids

[Refrain: Conway the Machine]
(All of me)
I owe Demond and Noah (All of me)

[Verse 6: Conway the Machine]
Uh, for the mob, you know I give niggas the shirt off my back
Somethin’ happen to one of my niggas, I’ll be the first to attack
Air out your corner, if I miss, then we circlin’ back (Brrt)
Funeral lines, Cadillacs with the hearses to match (Hearses to match)
Huh, I rep my niggas every verse that I rap
Violate, the shots disperse from this MAC (May Block, nigga)

[Outro: Conway the Machine]
I gave my hood (All of me, you know what’s up)
I gave my whole hood (All of me)
That’s a fact, nigga
