Basic Being Basic

Get food, barely eat Every bite just kept me glued to my seat I worried, even cried How'd it feel to take the light from my life? Bad habit, even worse 50-50, I'm a sucker for looks Asked for it, here it is A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

I think you're scared of bein' basic That's ironic 'cause it's like reading like you're even more basic It's not funny, it's so funny 'Cause you're basic Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated Nothingness won't change it (Good luck with that) (Good luck with what?) It's not funny, but it's so funny

I don't want your money, I don't care for fame I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that

It sent me reeling, still not the same It's like my capacity to love and give has changed I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again The past's the past, and I'll outlast The hate to find real love that's not pretend

How basic (sell me on it) Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps That's basic It's not funny, it's so funny That's just basic being basic (basically) You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls I guess I'll take it Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny

Change your body, change your face Curl your hair, then make it straight Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue It's a flash photograph

What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic) What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic) What an empty epitaph (that's just basic being basic) Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is If that's funny, I'm not funny
