The Basics

I have to break it down to the basics
Back in the booth with the tracks that I'm making
Get the album cracking, I can never be complacent
Finally found my calling and it's time to fucking ace this
Crack the code, see how well it bodes
Papers lighters, bowls, extracting a little soul
Intent on making something to put me up in the fold
Making a strong impression, yes that's the goal
I spend a couple days where I just master flows
Sit back, pack some bowls and try to grab the gold
Outlast these other cats until they pack and fold
Life is so fucking cold but that is just how it goes
Tryna make a classic, doesn't matter how I do it
Getting in my practice, get a move on motherfucker
Might just take some acid
Even if I go to ruins, getting in my practice
Get a move on motherfucker
Tryna make a classic, doesn't matter how I do it
Getting in my practice get a move on motherfucker
Might just take some acid
Even if I go to ruins, getting in my practice
Get a move on motherfucker
And I don't wanna hear about no writer's block
Or any sort of lines they like to bite a lot
I need to have a rising stock, held with the prized and championed
Meteoric rise or demise awaits him
Okay that's fine I derive a patience
But at some point, you just get tired of waiting
So I'm breaking in the door of opportunity
Feel invincible, I got immunity
Do this with impunity
And you do what you do for your community
But you know that you wanna win the lottery in spite of them
Question all your moral standings step into the lions den
Talk to all your inner demons we can finally silence them
The pride of men will simply be our downfall
Better be about all, take that fucking crown off
My voice is like a musket when it sound off
I tried to listen to your LP, but it sounds awful
Tryna make a classic, doesn't matter how I do it
Getting in my practice, get a move on motherfucker
Might just take some acid
Even if I go to ruins, getting in my practice
Get a move on motherfucker
Tryna make a classic, doesn't matter how I do it
Getting in my practice get a move on motherfucker
Might just take some acid
Even if I go to ruins, getting in my practice
Get a move on motherfucker
It's so hard to stand out I'm tryna be like a sore thumb in the crowd
When you're young and you're noggin got nothing but doubt
But deep down know you can make something you're proud of
I'ma have to go and reach within my reserves
Believe I deserve a motherfucking treat for dessert considering
I've been through the steepest of curves
And these days, I just want those fucking feelings reversed
The gift of gab is a curse, but blessed with a verse
The universe is bleak, best believe I'll get reimbursed
I finally worked up the courage to get back to the basics and the purpose it serves
Tryna make a classic, doesn't matter how I do it
Getting in my practice, get a move on motherfucker
Might just take some acid
Even if I go to ruins, getting in my practice
Get a move on motherfucker
