J4yy-B - 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
