Back to Basics ft. MJeezy Lyrics

Got a childish dream, some of y'all knew that

Too hard to achieve, yeah, well, too bad

A step closer seems too bland

But the butterfly effect got them asking "Yo, who's that?"

Entered a scene full of yes-men answers

Didn't join a clique, wasn't given no chances

I wondered and asked then

Why they act hard on screen but ride each other like cheap lap dances?

Not a hater, I'm kind of a moderator

Honor rolls and on a roll to rock the stages

But they put up a wall and tried to block me

So I paved my own lane dared them to stop me

Jeezy one of the few to believe me

He's a real G, my cousin, we the GCs

I'd rather be a wok in flames

Than just walk away

In a walk of shame

Got a childish dream, some of y'all knew that

Seven circles of hell, I had to go through that

Got so close to the sun, and I flew back

Could give a fuck less about who's this or who's that

I helped build a scene filled with Yes Men answers

Focused on hype than on circumstances

Chance is, they'd ride your dick for exposure

Followers and likes is what brings them closer

I am a hater, guess I'm kind of a master hater

I mastered paper, 'til the walls were stacked with paper

I built this bitch brick by brick, went through all the layers

Who knew these walls I'd built would come crashing later

AJT is my cousin and I believe in him

Pen comes to pad, ain't no beating him

He a rabid dog, ain't no leashing him

Face marked in red, that's the beast in him

It's a damn shame what this game did to these damn lames

Damn, Look how they stan fame

I should fan flames and burn the whole damn thing down

So only the real ones stand straight

Damn straight, you can't trust no hoe or a damn snake

You can't catch strays

Jeezy, it was either fight the fakes or right mistakes

Face and pave our right of way

We can't fake it, these other fools keep acting shameless while we stacking papers

The new craze is to 'make it', their values degraded

I guess having a skill is outdated

We out grace 'em, point 'em out and we'll out pace 'em, it's outrageous

How can we flex in this day and age then?

Yo 'GC', let's take them Back to Basics
