Back 2 Basics Lyrics

Let me get back to the old me

Man, I was one of the homies

Knew all types of music, such an oldie

Rhymin' hella OD

Been rhyming since I was 14

Introducing myself to this rap scene

Inspired by my rap dreams, Nicki was my fantasy

Drizzy was my favorite artist, Weezy makin' history

YMCMB was such a fever dream

Successful in my eyes that's where I wanna be

On top of a pedestal with them young kings

Young kings, Sacramento, light the beam

Cash rules all around me

Cream get the money, hella clean but I'm cocky

I'm more Creed than I'm Rocky

Big ballin' is my hobby, I'm no carbon copy

I'm the original, yet spiritual, no sinical

I spit hella bars that seem subliminal, habitual

Man, every single song's feel like a ritual

Give grace, amen, Saving the good stuff

Giving you the residuals

Let's quit playing around

Too complicated for you to get down

Can't comprehend what I'm talking about

Talking out your ass why you running your mouth

Well, let me dumb it down, let's get back to the basics

Let's get back to the basics

Elijah in the building put you in a matrix

Vibin' to the music, nun but vibrations

Bass all in your ear, man you 808'n

Shawty, stop playing hatin'

Yeah, hold up, let me cook

Got bars cooking on the grill for my kinfolk

Talking like you rich, but you been broke

Drinking hella Pepsi, but you love Coke

Laughing at my face, thinkin' it's a joke

Preaching like you hella woke

Wipe what's on your face, man it's egg yolk

Swimming to the money, butterfly strokes

You never catch me lackin', never catch me slackin'

Your fake facade man I see it cracking

It's crazy how the times change, but now it's time to rearrange the rap game

Bring back the prestige, it's time to elevate

Rise up to the ranks, money in the bank

Watch as it rise to the ceiling then it begins to break

Save it up till you're comfortable for the rest of your days

Let me rephrase

It's like you're in the mob and it's that faithful day

The day when you're made, forever man your debts been paid

Let's quit playing around

Too complicated for you to get down

Can't comprehend what I'm talking about

Talking out your ass while you're running your mouth

Well, let me dumb it down, let's get back to the basics

Let's get back to the basics

Elijah in the building put you in a matrix

Vibin' to the music, nun but vibrations

Bass all in your ear, man you 808'n

Let's quit playing around

Too complicated for you to get down

Can't comprehend what I'm talking about

Talking out your ass while you're running your mouth

Well, let me dumb it down, let's get back to the basics

Let's get back to the basics

Elijah in the building put you in a matrix

Vibin' to the music, nun but vibrations

Bass all in your ear, man you 808'n
