about

Admiration for the dignity of simplicity
Intertwined with a rebellious demeanor
.... A subtle, yet confusing combination
I'm the one you love to hate, yet hate to love.
True to the Groove #Basic

Additional Vocals By Versailles The Everything

lyrics

[San {Bridge}]
Came to alienate shit
separate the good from the great shit
Disconnect the mind from the matrix when I make shifts
It's never makeshift, but I'm running out of patience
I'm pacing pulling plugs on the patience these niggas so Basic

[Versailles The Everything]
I told y'all niggas, don't owe y'all niggas one thing (x2)

[San {Hook}]
They tell me fake it til you make it
better yet get comfortable complacent
Hit her quit her then find a replacement
Life is like a dream. it ain't never what it seem
you either high as the attic or you caught up in the basement
I would rather shine in lime of light
fight in times of plight wine and dine her right
Fuck and spend the night
Rise and grind then write rhymes to clear the sight
Cause that's what I do

[Verse 1]
My brother tapped my line like, "nigga what's good what's the move?"
I said, "shit goin with the groove what it is?"
He said, "shit I was in the neighborhood yo bout to slide through and handle some biz."
I was like, "true that nigga we can do that
starving artist really tryna figure where the food at
remember that we in this shit to win it never move back
sick of only waving at the top like a du-rag, Listen
Ain't no use in sitting around bitching set the chess then mapped out the mission tell your mama that we got them commas in our vision in the kitchen cooking up schemes ambition intentions decisions, decisions decide to align with a lie acting like we satisfied why? When we living check to check and we struggling with debt on the ground when we really tryna fly nigga fuck that!
Ain't no telling when we bound to die you can trust that I'm willing to kill it to live, livid with living like this, hoping to get in a gig, watching the grave digger dig, chasing my liquor with fear, fearing the ending is near. And you and I is in the same boat my nig, so let's float my nig let's surf the coast my nig, let's be the G.O.A.T. my nig, celebrate with a spliff and a toast my nig, get rich and reminisce on all them days that we was broke my nig, write the illest speeches that they ever quote my nig, be patient we waiting on the growth my nig, do it bigger than most other ever hope my nig (shit)" he said, "San I sense your determination," rolled another blunt for celebration, told me take a toke for celebration, no more hesitation let's murder all them niggas that be hating (uh)

{Bridge}
I tried to hold my tongue and not say shit
But a lot of niggas thinking they still slick
A lot of niggas claiming they got bars that would land them amongst the stars but I won't let them set a foot in my spaceship
Came to alienate shit
separate the good from the great shit
Disconnect the mind from the matrix when I make shifts
It's never makeshift, but I'm running out of patience
I'm pacing pulling plugs on the patience these niggas so Basic

[Verse 2]
They tell me you ain't still ain't never been it and ain't never gonna be it stigmatism victory you'll never see it man I swear I ain't got to think about it I just pour a drink about it convolute the competition cause them cowards can't compare Nigga with an attitude whose graditude is rather rude the damaged dude whose magnitude exudes beyond repair bitch I been about it been in it and been up out it first banned it and then allowed it cause a nigga really don't care what you going through, in they face like nigga what you gon do? they run away or run around I run through grippin the guillotine a gator and a gallon of gangsta lean groping a gorgeous girly that get up and get the green gallop and gliding glad I out gratified griming grappled a gladiator with a glacier gambled with timing got greedy grabbed a grip of gravity got back to the grinding gathered intergalactic gasoline and got to igniting fighting a titan, You can see me toe to toe or blow for blow activate an avalanche and still I got the coldest flow smackin the kraken acting a fool if I'm packing dragging a a dragon with passion passing for passive while plotting massive disasters on bastards bashing the brashest the fastest blessed with immaculate flow
To be the best still got a long way to go, long as I'm breathing I'm believing for sure, but shit nigga you know how it go

[Hook]
