(FnZ)
I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (bracelet for me)
I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (basic)
Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (talkin'-ass ho)
Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (answer to me)
I can't fuck with no broke nigga, I mean that (broke)
Keep an FN in my purse, don't make me beam that
I Cartier, Tiffany, and Mary Jean that (Mary Jean that)
Moon walkin' on these hoes, Billie Jean that (Billie Jean that)
I need a boss nigga, get that money three ways (three ways)
Put that pussy in his face, he can't see straight (he can't see straight)
VVS, ain't no SI2 how we play (how we play)
I want blue face, miss me with that he say, she say
I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (bracelet for me)
I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (basic)
Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (talkin'-ass ho)
Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (answer to me)
I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (bracelet for me)
I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (basic)
Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (talkin'-ass ho)
Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (answer to me)
I'm a bad bitch, so tighten up when you approach me
Uh, nigga gotta drop the bag if he want Key
I ain't gettin' freaky for no nigga with no funds
Fuckin' on no freaky bum, I let the Cuban links choke me
Yeah, send him to the Louis store, make a nigga swipe the card
I ain't movin' in with no nigga 'less he livin' large
If a nigga want a taste, I'ma make him buy Celine
Fuck a plain jane, bustdown Patek me please
I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (bracelet for me)
I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (basic)
Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (talkin'-ass ho)
Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (answer to me)
I need a D-boy, Cartier bracelet for me (bracelet for me)
I'm a bad bitch, all these hoes basic to me (basic)
Bitches like to talk like they Angela Yee (talkin'-ass ho)
Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me (answer to me)
In "Basic," Lakeyah makes it clear she is a bad bitch who isn't interested in broke guys. She insists on being treated like royalty and demands to be pampered with luxurious items such as Cartier jewelry and Patek watches. She won't settle for less than what she deserves and states with conviction that all the other hoes are basic. Lakeyah warns that she is willing to take action against any who dare to cross her, "Chin-check you hoes, gon' have to answer to me."
The opening lines feature producer Pooh Beatz, who exclaims that he is a fool for creating such a dope beat. Lakeyah comes in strong, confidently asserting herself as a boss, and delivering her rhymes with an assertive flow. She references famous radio personality Angela Yee, who many female rappers often go to for interviews, and warns that she won't tolerate any talking behind her back. She reiterates that a man must have money if he wants to be with her and insists that if he wants to taste the good life, he's got to work for it. The chorus repeats the message that Lakeyah needs a Drug dealer (D-boy) and lots of Cartier jewelry to keep her satisfied.
Overall, "Basic" is an anthem for all the confident women who are living their best lives and won't take any BS from anyone.
