Back to the Basics

Let these lines poke your nerves I spit them like spoken word If she belongs to the streets I'll kick her straight to the curb Swear nobody can compete My skills is way superb Don't be fooled by what you see Just listen to what you heard The day that I'll die I'll probably be immortalized Cause imma gift to this earth And that ain't no surprise But in the meantime, I'll be with a bad little vibe Who always drips too hard every time that she rides Look, lately I've been feeling like I'm living in the matrix Receiving all this love yet I'm dodging all the hatred I truly understand that's a price for all the greatness So I keep myself sedated by getting back to the basics with Beats and bars, my mental is in the stars Reminiscing about the past and how we've come so far Not saying times was easy Not saying that times was hard But I had to make decisions that made me just who I are But I ain't satisfied, got to stay dedicated No more hoping and wishing If there's a chance I got to take it Make sure when I got it Ain't no way that I can fake it So I'll just keep it original and get back to the basics My body like a temple Graffiti on the walls Telling stories about my life Within these permanent scars I been hotter than the furnace And making waves from afar Just controlling all my elements Feeling like Avatar Cause every boulevard, street Cul-de-sac, even highways People bumping to J4YY-B Turning up like It's Friday Feeling like I'm Simon, got people moving when I say Not one for all the talking I just do it like It's Nike Look I'm really going crazy Start to feel just like a maniac I used my mind to cause destruction Feeling like I'm Brainiac Put my heart in every track Bound to bump like cardiac Now I got the whole city woke They insomniac Beats and bars, my mental is in the stars Reminiscing about the past and how we've come so far Not saying times was easy Not saying that times was hard But I had to make decisions that made me just who I are But I ain't satisfied, got to stay dedicated No more hoping and wishing If there's a chance I got to take it Make sure when I got it Ain't no way that I can fake it So I'll just keep it original and get back to the basics Charlotte made but I'm Concord raised I be scheming in the nights To make my moves through the days So now I'm really silky smooth tryna start my own wave Told my fam I'll hold it down While I brush the haters away Aye What can I say I'm really just being honest I got to get it today Cause I know tomorrow's not promised But I'm playing for the bucks So I'm feeling like Giannis But imma real Greek freak And way to handsome like Adonis Confident not cocky Can't murder my ego I used to have them hoop dreams And being like D Rose Now I'm rapping over beats They see me like a hero My name move weight around the city So I feel like Nino Brown Nino Beats and bars, my mental is in the stars Reminiscing about the past and how we've come so far Not saying times was easy Not saying that times was hard But I had to make decisions that made me just who I are But I ain't satisfied, got to stay dedicated No more hoping and wishing If there's a chance I got to take it Make sure when I got it Ain't no way that I can fake it So I'll just keep it original and get back to the basics
