"BASIC" lyrics
K.A.A.N. & D-Ace Lyrics
Heard they wanted me to stop
Boy this shit is muscle memory
I'm doing it with ease
If you don't believe me then watch
I'm trying to paint a picture
Depicting the perfect vision
I been working on the plot
I tell em nothing else matters
I'm feeling like Metallica nigga I let it rock
I understand that my talents a commodity
They looking at me like a cash crop
For the income
They tried to shoot a nigga down so I can't run
I'm smoking on too many blunts I'm coughing up a lung
I'm just competing with myself like I'm the only one
The alpha omega
Deleted the player
Compared to the greatest
So call me the savior
Defeated a hater and rose to the majors
Without a handout cause ain't nobody
Giving you favors
You gotta take what you want in this life
Bitch I'm talking on site
I was in the studio
Working on a new flow
Fucking up another beat at it all night
I just wanna reflect treat it like a reflex
Imma get it off my chest when I write
I don't want to hear shit
Most of my peers is trash with the pen
That shit is all hype
You can take it or leave it
But I refuse to believe it
Cause one thing I know
Muthafucka that's basic
Running in the rat race trying to get the same piece of cheese like the rest
Muthafucka that's basic
Speaking down on the next man when you ain't got shit your self
Muthafucka that's basic
Living off greed like that's all you need to attain that wealth
Muthafucka that's way too basic
Muthafucka that's way too basic
I just came up from a bottomless pit
Picture me rolling like Makaveli in '96
The Don Killuminati theory this as real as it gets
So how are niggas getting rewards without the risk
We playing the game
We know that it's fixed
They reading the cards
And loading the dice
Controlling ya life up under the lights
Give in to a vice the feeling is like
You going in for surgery they got you under the knife
A pitiful plight you flying on a miserable flight
They scared of the heights
I'm feeling like a man amongst mice
The filthiest type
Attentive when I speak on the mic
Intended to show em the formula
When doing it right
This rigorous effort I'm giving unbelievable sight
It's 12 rounds in this endless fight
I keep it tight like a noose on ya neck
Never beg to collect
It's a price that I paid to attain my respect
Muthafucka that's basic
Running in the rat race trying to get the same piece of cheese like the rest
Muthafucka that's basic
Speaking down on the next man when you ain't got shit your self
Muthafucka that's basic
Living off greed like that's all you need to attain that wealth
Muthafucka that's way too basic
Muthafucka that's way too basic
Boy this shit is muscle memory
I'm doing it with ease
If you don't believe me then watch
I'm trying to paint a picture
Depicting the perfect vision

I'm feeling like Metallica nigga I let it rock
I understand that my talents a commodity
They looking at me like a cash crop
