Lit
Bas Lyrics

Do you still believe in love?
Asking if the listener still believes in love

Or do you like drugs?
Suggesting that the listener may prefer drugs over love

Ran into a night owl rollin' White Owls
He met a woman who was smoking White Owl cigars

Girl it's been awhile since I hit a White Owl
It's been a while since he has smoked a White Owl cigar

I'm with it though, she a centerfold
He's okay with smoking with her since she's attractive

Big ol' blunt look like tentacles
The blunt they're smoking looks like tentacles

She strip in Europe, Interpol
She's a stripper who has performed in Europe

Don't remember her in her clothes
He only remembers her as a stripper, not when she had clothes on

I fucked her friend, damn they was close
He had sex with her friend, who was close to her

Let's reunite, let's get em close
Suggesting they should all get together again

Hit 'em twice in a row, hit a flight, and I'm ghost
Have sex twice, take a flight, and leave

That's the last time I seen her though
He hasn't seen her since then

She be gettin' too eager, ho
She's too eager and promiscuous

Stamp it like it's my visa
He's smoking so much that it feels like a stamp on his visa

Cheefin' off of these berries
He's smoking off of berries, which may be a reference to edibles

When the world gets heavy and it hurts to carry
Smoking helps him cope with the difficult parts of life

I'm her Midnight Mercenary
He's the person who helps her get rid of her pain at night

Fiend
He's addicted to smoking or having sex

It's lit
Everything is going well and they're high

Feel the buzz?
Do you feel high?

That's a half?
Asking if the blunt they're smoking is only half full

Shit it was
Realizing that the blunt is actually full

She take me to a place that I never would discover
The woman he's with is showing him new experiences

Might never have another, so I had to fuck her
He may never get the chance to experience this again, so he had sex with her

Reach into my pockets, damn I ain't got a rubber
He realizes he doesn't have a condom

See my nigga Ron, like L. Ron Hubbard, he be outta space
Comparing his friend Ron to the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, who believed in aliens and outer space

Say he got a case of straps at the back of the hotel cupboard
Ron has a case of condoms in the back of the hotel cupboard

Room 508, check by the safe, she say "Boy you got it made
The room they're in is room 508 and she admires his success

Do you got a cape?
Asking if he's a superhero since he seems to be successful

I'm quite impatient, intoxication got me feelin' like procreating
He's impatient and being high is making him feel like he wants to have sex

Girl I'm the baker, you surely caking
He's the one who makes the money and she's just with him for that reason

Stand back, catch my amazing graces
Showing off his skills and talent

Photo finish and fornication
Finishing a sexual encounter and taking a photo as proof

Do you believe in love?
Asking if the listener believes in love

What's your drug?
Asking what the listener's drug of choice is

Now comes the question of which intro do you use?
Talking about the introduction to the song

Do you use this intro or the other intro I was talkin' on?
Asking which introduction to use

But, then that let's people know I had more than one take
If they use the alternate intro, it will show that he did multiple takes of the song

So maybe we should just not use this and use the other intro
Suggesting that they use the alternate intro instead

So people would think I just took it straight through
He wants people to think that he recorded the song in one take

Yea, let's do that
Deciding to use the alternate intro

You'd be surprised how many truths you can hide in flows
A clever lyric can hide a deeper message

I'm listenin' to this beat with my eyelids closed
He's so familiar with the beat that he doesn't need to see it

Thoughts keep flashin' and I keep laughin'
He's laughing at his own thoughts

I never thought that I would fuck Irish hoes
He's surprised at the new experiences he's having

Maybe Asian bitches or Caucasian bitches
He thought he would only have sex with Asian or Caucasian women

Remember when I got to New York I was lost
He was unfamiliar with New York when he first arrived

Because all I ever saw was Jamaican bitches
He was surprised that there were many Jamaican women in New York

I ain't barely know what Jamrock was
He didn't know what the term "Jamrock" meant

Lil' country nigga God damn I was
He comes from a small town and was unfamiliar with the big city

To you niggas talkin' online until you make it this high
He's addressing people who talk about success online, but haven't actually achieved it

Then you could never understand this buzz, well
Only those who have achieved success can understand the high he's feeling

Maybe if you put yourself in the shoes
If the listener were in his position, they could understand his feelings

Of a nigga comin' straight out the South
He's from the southern United States and has made it in the music industry

No gold grill just a east coast feel
He has a style that's a mix of both southern and eastern influences

And a set of crooked teeth in his mouth
He has crooked teeth, which may be seen as a flaw in the music industry

Make them hoes bounce, that can't get enough
He's making the audience dance and they love it

Niggas say I made it I ain't make it enough
He's achieved some success, but not enough for some people

Man hang that nigga, you a real lame ass nigga
He's dismissing those who say he hasn't made it

If you ain't got my tape in your truck
If someone doesn't have his music, they can't criticize his success

Cole, uhm world don't you forget that
He wants people to remember his name

I think I lost my mind round the same time I lost my six pack
He lost his mind and his six-pack abs at the same time

But no sit-ups for me, long as my dick still get up for me
He's not doing sit-ups, but he's still sexually active

Long as a ho still give up for me
As long as women are still attracted to him, he's content

She usually charge but she get us for free
He's having sex with a prostitute, but not paying for it

Woah, that's TMI, lil' something like TMZ
He's revealing too much information, like on the gossip news site TMZ

Scared of the days you'll be seeing me
People may be scared or intimidated by him

'Cause my girl do not play, coach DNP
His girlfriend is tough and doesn't let him get away with anything

That's something for the hoop fans
This lyric is a basketball reference for fans of the sport

Just copped her the coupe man
He just bought his girlfriend a coupe car

No drop top but a slot on the roof that can slide out
The car has a retractable sunroof, but no convertible top

And get a little sun while you ride out
Enjoying the sun and the ride in the car

Ced on the beat let me vibe out
He's enjoying the beat and just going with it

We was 15 with a ASR up in my house
He's reminiscing about making music with his friends when they were teenagers

Writin' rhymes out, momma made it happen
His mother supported his dream of becoming a rapper

Could've been a lawyer but I made it rappin', he made it rappin'
He could've pursued a more traditional career, but chose to become a rapper instead

Now at the shows he the main attraction
He's now the star of his own shows

Another shot of Henny so I'm faded askin'
He's drinking Hennessy and getting drunk

How long do this drug called fame be lastin' "It's lit, feel the buzz?"
Wondering how long his fame will last and if he'll continue to feel high from it
