Lyrics

Basic

[Intro]

(Pooh, you a fool for this)

(Hitmaka, Diego)

(FnZ)

[Chorus]

I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (Bracelet for me)

I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (Basic)

Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (Talkin'-ass ho)

Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (Answer to me)

[Verse 1]

I can't fuck with no broke nigga, I mean that (Broke)

Keep an FN in my purse, don't make me beam that

I Cartier, Tiffany, and Mary Jean that (Jean that)

Moon walkin' on these hoes, Billie Jean that (Jean that)

I need a boss nigga, get that money three ways (Three ways)

Put that pussy in his facе, he can't see straight (He can't see straight)

VVS, ain't no SI2 how we play (How wе play)

I want blue face, miss me with that he say, she say

[Chorus]

I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (Bracelet for me)

I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (Basic)

Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (Talkin'-ass ho)

[Verse 2]

I'm a bad bitch, so tighten up when you approach me, uh

Nigga gotta drop the bag if he want Key

I ain't gettin' freaky for no nigga with no funds

Fuckin' on no freaky bum, I let the Cuban links choke me

Yeah, send him to the Louis store, make a nigga swipe the card

I ain't movin' in with no nigga 'less he livin' large

If a nigga want a taste, I'ma make him buy Celine

Fuck a plain jane, bustdown Patek me please

[Chorus]

I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (Bracelet for me)

I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (Basic)

Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (Talkin'-ass ho)

I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (Bracelet for me)

I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (Basic)

Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (Talkin'-ass ho)

Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (Answer to me)
