Gbongi - Call Me Basic

Loyalty is not just given but should be Earned
I knew this at the age of 10 one thing I learned
I put in too much hope does not lead to my end
Am tryna move forward they call me Basic
This cold thought am having is given me brain freeze
Am the one getting hurt but they still gon blame me
Am drowning in the ocean of doubt don't think you can save me
My anxiety is up, see what I do when am stress
I take my phone, write down lyrics like news created by the press (ahh!)
Sometimes I feel weak, sometimes I feel depressed (ahh!)
You can check it out for the score I got from the test
Planned my future ahead but the road is kinda Cloudy
No one was there to help me heal no one was around me (oh u ahh!)
Heartbreak is normal especially when it's all about me
We fall out then you heard shit you did not even allow me
Your opinion is one thing don't give a fuck about (so shut the fuck up)
You've never tried to pay those goods, but you still runabout
She is on my mind baby girl give a kiss baby can you please turn around (I love you bae)
You make me feel better you know what am talking about
They're still on that bloody shit, Like a stake when it's still raw
Others doing better never hated just waited a bit more
Isolated myself did not know what I was afraid of so I stayed indoor
Emotionally weakened like the pig whose house was made with straws
My head ringing loud am hearing ding dong
Emotionally scared need shoulders to Lean on
Tryna make this my ringing tune make it my theme song
Depression taking over me how you expect me to Be strong
My head ringing loud am hearing ding dong
Emotionally scared need shoulders to Lean on
Tryna make this my ringing tune make it my theme song
Depression taking over me how you expect me to Be strong (ahh!)
Loyalty is not just given but should be Earned
I knew this at the age of 10 one thing I learned
I put in too much hope does not lead to my end
Am tryna move forward they call me Basic
This cold thought am having is given me brain freeze
Am the one getting hurt but they still gon blame me
Am drowning in the ocean of doubt don't think you can save me
Was trying to be loyalty kept saying this nigga basic
Loving you wasn't hard But you wanna tryna replace me (ahh!)
I'm sorry you saw me like this you might think that am crazy
I do think too was like maybe these pills can save me
Am a soldier at war, attention now standing at ease (ahh!)
All I ever want with myself is to be at peace (oh u ahh!)
Time to take pictures put on a fake smile can you say cheese
Heart shattered to ground tryna pick up the pieces
My emotions started to gain so I went on a diet (what the fuck again)
Were still NO changes so I had change my diet (ahh!)
Voices in my head are loud can yall stay quiet (shh!)
Love this song still on tune like am Ray Bryant
Different voices in my head learning to put dem on hold
I might end up dying with them anyway but wanna get old (ahh!)
Sent an SOS signal but you watched it then you scrolled
Never seen two bodies in a casket will surely die alone.
My head ringing loud am hearing ding dong
Emotionally scared need shoulders to Lean on
Tryna make this my ringing tune make it my theme song
Depression taking over me how you expect me to Be strong
My head ringing loud am hearing ding dong
Emotionally scared need shoulders to Lean on
Tryna make this my ringing tune make it my theme song
Depression taking over me how you expect me to Be strong (ahh!)
Loyalty is not just given but should be Earned
I knew this at the age of 10 one thing I learned
I put in too much hope does not lead to my end
Am tryna move forward they call me Basic
This cold thought am having is given me brain freeze
Am the one getting hurt but they still gon blame me
Am drowning in the ocean of doubt don't think you can save me
