One, two, one, two, one, two
One, two, one, two, one, two, yeah
One, two, one, two, one, two
One, two, one, two, one, two
I'm a reflection of the times I was broke
Before we on the radio, they took me for a joke
Now we livin' day to day, uh
I'm gonna say what I want to
Cause if not, yeah for sure it's gonna haunt you
But I'm still broke, always been real dope
It's been so long, I forgot how love feels bro
Like a real bike, battling the pain, yeah
Like a gold mic, girls say my name
Yeah I can and I will tho
Yeah I only want the positive, not the opposite, that's a problem bitch
Why you always getting so upset by a lotta things
What the water brings, get it from the finer springs
Iced up, gonna get me some designer rings
See I been tryin' to live my life
And maybe yeah this might sound crazy but we could make it out the basement for real
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
We all blazed, all the homies gettin' wasted
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
Head in the clouds but my feet on the pavement
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
We all blazed, all the homies gettin' wasted
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
Head in the clouds but my feet on the pavement
Look me up inside a dictionary, visionary, people of Utopia
I'm the oldest son, cook it t'ill it's overdone
I'm talking food, you're exactly in the mood
And it's hard for me to prove
I got nothing left to lose, uh
On some fuck shit
Get it off my chest, quick
I like to adress this
Done feelin' restless and all alone
I got me feelin' like I'm Al Capone
Y'all leave me lone
I gotta cop a house and I ain't paying for a loan
Said I gotta cop a house and I ain't paying for a loan
I'm into feelin' good, not trippin' on the phone
The underground king is coming for the throne, diggin' bones, uh
Out the motherfuckin' basement
We all blazed, all the homies gettin' wasted
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
Head in the clouds but my feet on the pavement
Yeah out the basement for real
Out the motherfuckin' basement
We all blazed, all the homies gettin' wasted
Yeah out the basement for real




Out the motherfuckin' basement
Head in the clouds but my feet on the pavement
