Fuck you doin out the basement
Fuck you doin out the basement
(What you doin out the basement)
Stay low, stay low
Oh that anxiety?
I'm a beast /
Fear of scrutiny?
I'm a slut /
I came so far with this brain
Pop my shit but I know when to shut up
You can do anything you wanna do
But not in that super corny kinda way
How "they" really fuck up your day?
Who is "they?"
They don't sway shit
Make em lay down
You got bigger bullies
On this playground
All that bitter chitter chatter
You learned?
Don't let iffy data
Stick around
(You want evolution?)
Please stick around
I can't let that goofy shit
Get me down
Bitch I always focused on the mission
But I always gave myself the bidness
You ain't in love with Yaself?
Ain't even tryin to grow?
You ain't forgivin the past?
Damn that shit really get old
Better to work on yo own
Cuz you the shit and you know it
You ain't the shit? Keep goin'
You can unlearn all the young shit
I know the thoughts keep comin'
And sometimes that shit really hit bad
I get that petty depression
Like how could I really get this sad?
Battlin demons
You gotta accept 'em
They ain't goin' nowhere
But sometimes you Gotta check em like
Fuck you doin out the basement
Fuck you doin out the basement
(What you doin out the basement)
Stay Low, stay Low
I deserve a mental health decade...
You might catch me sleep on this jet plane ...
Everybody here forgot they manners
But if I up and lose mine it's gon' matter
Niggas ask me goofy shit like Psalm, what's your end game?
(Ar)'ticulate my freedom papers hoe you know my pen game
This ain't on no useless drama, baby this defiance
Keep playin in my face and you gon' make me shift to violence
Ok you got me, duh, I used to be a ball of chaos
But What is yo excuse? Cuz you ain't growin, yo shit way off!
Check ya circle, check ya pH, you can't check me
Anything you said I said worse, I'm crazy messy
Fuck anxiety and fuck them voices that make you doubt shit
I'm beautiful, nigga, I can't do nothin' about it!
Fight my demons every single day it ain't nothin' around it
I keep them bitches low too, remember what I told you
(Stay low)
All of my niggas been traumatized (ALL of Em).
Elders just call it tradition (listen!).
Get punished and pick out the switches (YES sah!)...
But No one could call us some bitches (NEVER) ...
Got me good god as my witness. the whippings. relentless.
Defenseless... I was ashamed to cry.
But not afraid to die.
Ain't wanna say it cuz some of us AIN'T alive...
I kept the rage inside.
Decided that violence could help me maintain my pride.
That shit's nationwide.
Gaslit all the bad chicks (yep)...
Past tense that was back when (yep).
Back then I was savage (yep)... can't quit til I ADmit it.
I'm no damn different I'm a man, ad-libing swigging liquor
I'ma mad nigga... mama humor with my dad temper.
Good riddance doing bad bidness.
Getting to the bag feeling magnificent...
Had women open like a handwritten letter from prison,
I lacked discipline... adolescence wasn't THAT innocent...
Had no agendas a genuine gentleman
All of these bridges I've built are legitimate.
Far from a savior a sinner it's simple I live to get rid of it...
Skeletons piling up wylin my closet like 60 percent of Em...
Still check your temperature quick
Like you sick or somethin
I'm just owning my end of it.
Fuck you doin out the basement
Fuck you doin out the basement
(What you doin out the basement)
Stay low, stay low
I been fighting for — peace
They ain't give me none of that
I been staying up nights
Been to hell and now I'm back
Baby I'm hard on myself
You know I be hard on these
Show me some imperfection
Then we can work
I got plenty on those
