Back 2 Basics

[Intro]

I-I-ISM

Yeah

[?]

[Intro]

I look around, it's like a house of mirrors

They throwin' stones but look at the house they live in

I just can't live without gettin' notable mentions

Watching I'm win, and shot niggas know I invented

Yeah, we in the house up there

Movers is mad, I put a couch upstairs

I just go room to room and count my blessings

Could've been RIP, 6 feet

Moment a, I think I hit a Chinese comin' out, I just caught a body

These niggas thought I was dead, walk in this bitch like a zombie

When I get off of the molly, picture how I'm payin' this dollie

Sippin' this fine wine, it just gettin' better with timing

[Chorus]

Ayе, I'm back to basics (Woo)

No more acting like we friеnds on some fake shit (No)

All the smiles and the time that we wasted (Wait)

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it (Truth)

I'm back to basics

No more acting like we friends on some fake shit (Fake)

All the smiles and the time that we wasted (Wasted)

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it

[Verse 1]

Hit my baby tell her that I need a face show

I got lines, all the smiles that are wasted

Niggas think that shit is sweet what, here is a taste test (Go)

Now you probably heard my city ain't the safest (No)

Got a youngin' that’ll slide right up to day care (Uh)

On my playground, no, they won't play play fair (Yeah)

Why you tryna' sell me Reggie like I can't smell (Nigga)

All my strenghts got they names of the bay sale

Honey butter got me boosy (Uhh)

Diamonds changin' colors 'cause I'm fuckin' moody (Uhh)

Dodgin' through L.A. like a Mookie (Aye, aye, aye)

Nah, I ain't no rookie, bitch

[Chorus]

Aye, I'm back to basics

No more acting like we friends on some fake shit

All the smiles and the time that we wasted

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it

I'm back to basics

No more acting like we friends on some fake shit

All the smiles and the time that we wasted

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it

[Verse 2]

Woah, caught the niggas tryna' take advantage (Wait)

Can't just fix this shit and bring no bandage

We 've been through the ups and downs, but now I'm balanced (I'm on)

Thank God that he cut me from a different fabric

Most of you niggas soft as chinchillas, talking like the lion

These days show with a mask like Michael Myers

Face tat, give it all away, ain't no point and hide

Might just come tell these niggas who the fuck I am, man?

Yeah, they impressed with how I'm livin' for a black man (Woah)

Stand still but my chain do a tap dance (Woah)

Know I'm comin' with a slap like a backhand

One-man band, bitch

[Chorus]

Aye, I'm back to basics

No more acting like we friends on some fake shit

All the smiles and the time that we wasted

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it

I'm back to basics

No more acting like we friends on some fake shit

All the smiles and the time that we wasted

Had your shot at the top, should 've chased it
