REASON & Bas Lyrics

"Not What You Think"

[REASON:]
Hello
Hello, girl
Hello
Hello, girl
Yeah, yeah
Fuck they been talkin' 'bout? Fuck they been talkin' 'bout? Yeah
Turn me up, gang
Yeah

Accomplish some shit while I turn into REASON
You can't get no sleep when you focus on dreamin'
I took the demons and turn 'em to meetings
I doubted myself, I worked hard and I seen it
Anything possible, you just believe it
The picture too big, break that shit up in pieces
Hire some homies when little
Got stuck in the middle of politics, now niggas grievin'
Rocks thrown, they turn into headstones
In the room, man, sometimes, it get red rum
Good times feel short, but the hell long
Holdin' onto these tracks, now they railroad
Couple of women I led on
Several, she miss 'em, 'cause they take whatever I give 'em
Would hit 'em, then hid it and loved 'em 'cause they had no problem with keepin' shit hidden
I worked on myself, I was feedin' my ego
My spirit on zero, low bread like it's keto
Pussy start callin', that liquor start callin'
Temptation start climbin', my discipline fallin'
Stuck in the field, one day, becomin' a has-been
Carry pride for who they was way back then
Ironic I recorded "Trapped In" while I'm trapped in

Look, I thought that I made it and broadened my reach
Thought it'd be game, my niggas was geeked
Signin' on road, but it's not what you think
Couple of hoes, but it's not what you think
Niggas scream gang, but what do that mean?
A couple of chains, you livin' a dream
Shit hit the fan and it's not what you think
Niggas down bad, it's not what you think

Hello, bitch
Hello, bitch
Hello, bitch
On the dead homies, whole lotta gang shit goin' on

[Bas:]
My niggas nukin' shit, call 'em the microwave
That boy just came outside and gave his life away
Half of my niggas is checkin' the price of crypto
Other half checkin' what's the coke price today
I'm in the middle, let's hurry and meet, I'm growin' out of reach
What's better than hunger? Teachin' how to eat
Apparently, I'm changin', say goodbye to me, say goodbye to me
Ugly as the truth, so tell a lie to me
Satisfy my needs, don't nobody feel me
Ego been at peace, so can't nobody kill me
I don't need a reason, I just got a feeling
Shout my nigga REASON, we gon' crash the ceiling
Shatter all the glass walls in this bitch
Kill a nigga mask off in this bitch
Celebrate like last call in this bitch, like
Hello, bitch
Remember you dubbin' my demo, bitch
I'm pullin' the strings like a cello, bitch
Now make that ass jiggle like Jell-O, bitch
Stirrin' the pot and I'm hot as the kettle
Vacate the wins, I don't settle quick
Seen every kind and their wish is settled
Been down with my ones and we never switched

[REASON:]
Thought that I made it and broadened my reach
Thought it'd be game, my niggas was geeked
Signin' on road, but it's not what you think
Couple of hoes, but it's not what you think
Niggas scream gang, but what do that mean?
A couple of chains, you livin' a dream
Shit hit the fan and it's not what you think
Niggas down bad, it's not what you think

Hello, bitch
Hello, bitch
Hello, bitch
On the dead homies, whole lotta gang shit goin' on
