Lyrics

No Basic

[Intro]

Zaytoven

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You gotta feel the pain of the kid in the ghetto

Our hearts of the ghetto, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta turn it up a notch for the city

[Chorus]

I do the Maserati, no basic, no basic (Yeah)

Gotta get that money like the '80s and save it (Let's go)

We went through the struggle and waited and waited (Ain't nothin')

I can't let not one of you betray me, betray me (Not one)

I get exhausted off that red 'til I say, "Oh, oh" (Woah, woah)

I get exhausted off the red, I don't need no more (That drank)

I promise I'ma blow the weave off this bitch, nigga (Off this bitch, nigga)

A million dollar, take a sneeze on a bitch nigga

[Verse 1]

Carbine 15, don't you take it personal

Shorty wanna swing by a nigga way, let's go (Shawty, swing my way)

Let's go (Shawty, swing my way)

California dreams, every single day, we live 'em

They gave me the game and I ran with it (I ran with it)

Took all the pain and I ran with it (I ran with it)

Took all the fame and I ran with it (I ran with it)

I took a few losses and ran with it (One hundred)

I go to shoppin', I'm tearful (One hundred)

Order that car and an Audemar (One hundred)

I'm reminiscin' 'bout my past, yeah (One hundred)

I gotta go get the cash, yeah (I swear)

Ten bale joints, I put a bird inside a Porsche (Freebandz)

She a bad bitch, I put that ass inside a Porsche (I swear)

Got some mad killers with me ready to swang that torch

Really, really, really, we some dope boys

[Chorus]

I do the Maserati, no basic, no basic (Yeah)

Gotta get that money like the '80s and save it (Let's go)

We went through the struggle and waited and waited (Ain't nothin')

I can't let not one of you betray me, betray me (Not one)

I get exhausted off that red 'til I say, "Oh, oh" (Woah, woah)

I get exhausted off the red, I don't need no more (That drank)

I promise I'ma blow the weave off this bitch, nigga (Off this bitch, nigga)

A million dollar, take a sneeze on a bitch nigga (Bitch)

[Verse 2]

A hundred round magazine, don't take it personal

We had some problems 'fore this rap shit, took 'em personal

You get so much money, your past start haunting you

So many foreign broads, and they all want that revenue

Hey, I keep a dope boy knot on me, I keep one on me, yeah

Rubber band banks, I fuck that bitch, she got one on me, yeah

Saucy, drippin' off me, got designer drippin' off me, yeah

Burn some dope up, roll some dope up, gotta smoke one, yeah (I swear)

I caught a jugg at the car dealer (What else?)

Paid it right there on the spot for her (What else?)

Maserati truck, woah, woah (Wow)

Fucking thotties is a no-no (Wow)

Real nigga, do it anyway (Real one)

Pop a pill, she a throwaway (A real one)

Crack a seal, then pour away (Pour it up)

Fuck around, take the doors away

[Chorus]

I do the Maserati, no basic, no basic (Yeah)

Gotta get that money like the '80s and save it (Let's go)

We went through the struggle and waited and waited (Ain't nothin')

I can't let not one of you betray me, betray me (Not one)

I get exhausted off that red 'til I say, "Oh, oh" (Woah, woah)

I get exhausted off the red, I don't need no more (That drank)

I promise I'ma blow the weave off this bitch, nigga (Off this bitch, nigga)

A million dollar, take a sneeze on a bitch nigga (Bitch)

[Outro]

Shawty, swing my

What Kendrick Lamar was answering on ‘Euphoria’, and why Drake’s AI 2Pac verse mattered

A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

Rockstar has teased ‘GTA 6’ radio’s next evolution

Rockstar has confirmed a dynamic score and an evolved in-game radio system for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’, while keeping the mechanics under wraps.

‘Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album’ vinyl is reportedly appearing on resale sites for up to £490

The liquid-filled limited edition sold out in under an hour, with resale listings now reaching more than four times its £108.99 original price.

Which artists have teased GTA VI involvement, and what is actually confirmed?

A wave of GTA VI-styled social posts has prompted soundtrack speculation, but the publicly reported confirmation list is far shorter.
