AJT and MJeezy - Back to Basics

Got a childish dream, some of y'all knew that
Too hard to achieve, yeah, well, too bad
A step closer seems too bland
But the butterfly effect got them asking "Yo, who's that?"
Entered a scene full of yes-men answers
Didn't join a clique, wasn't given no chances
I wondered and asked then
Why they act hard on screen but ride each other like cheap lap dances?
Not a hater, I'm kind of a moderator
Honor rolls and on a roll to rock the stages
But they put up a wall and tried to block me
So I paved my own way dared them to stop me
Jeezy one of the few to believe me
He's a real G, my cousin, we the GCs
I'd rather be a wok in flames
Than just walk away
In a walk of shame

Got a childish dream, some of y'all knew that
Seven circles of hell, I had to go through that
Got so close to the sun, and I flew back
Could give a fuck less about who's this or who's that
I helped build a scene filled with Yes Men answers
Focused on hype than on circumstances
Chance is, they'd ride your dick for exposure
Followers and likes is what brings them closer
I am a hater, guess I'm kind of a master hater
I mastered paper, 'til the walls were stacked with paper
I built this bitch brick by brick, went through all the layers
Who knew these walls I'd built would come crashing later
AJT is my cousin and I believe in him
Pen comes to pad, ain't no beating him
He a rabid dog, ain't no leashing him
Face marked in red, that's the beast in him

It's a damn shame what this game did to these damn lames
Damn, Look how they stan fame
I should fan flames and burn the whole damn thing down
So only the real ones stand straight
Damn straight, you can't trust no hoe or a damn snake
You can't catch strays
Jeezy, it was either fight the fakes or right mistakes
Face and pave our right of way
We can't fake it, these other fools keep acting shameless while we stacking papers
The new crazy is to 'make it', their values degraded
I guess having a skill is outdated
We out grace 'em, point 'em out and we'll out pace 'em, it's outrageous
How can we flex in this day and age then?
Yo 'GC', let's take them Back to Basics
