Back to the basement Thought I had the deck stacked with the aces Now I barely get a dap when I play this How the hell will I adapt to the latest Trapped in the matrix Fact is I hate this but I guess I gotta act like I'm gracious When I thought I was on track for the greatest Oh well gotta go back to the basics What's that mean See when I was 12 I was a laughing stock Always rapping bout how I would grab the Glock But the way it's going now it ain't slowing down Motherfucker you can have a shot like blow Only one I'm killing is myself slowly Who the hell knows me in this cell lonely With the empty bottles on the shelf homie See all the drugs that I would lie about I tried em out right inside the house I was getting high and I was hiding out And that's the shit that I was rhyming bout like yeah Totally dude, what it grew into if only you knew Started with rolling and smoking it thought I had hold but then I lost control of it whoo Taking a breath, tracing my steps Back to the place where I'm facing the stress Try to go right but I'm making a left I don't know why I've been making a mess Yeah yeah yeah And I don't know why my life blows by on the road like that But when it goes wrong oh well I'm a go right back right back to the basement yeah Back back to the basement Yeah aye yeah aye yeah aye whoo Man with a plan in fantasy land I don't know how the insanity ran I'd hit the liquor store get a fifth or more Really I was a fan of it man I tried to hold the weight up of a loaded truck I would fill my face up til I'm throwing up Yeah I tried a life, and it was kind of nice Then I figured f*ck it let me blow it up Let me make it clear it's been vacant here We can take it way back to ancient years Try to compromise so I make a cheers That's the way that I face my fears Make a bunch of plans send a drunken text Try to hide the fact I've become depressed Like we gotta chill, I was not for real I'll be honest still I'm a fucking mess Shit been crazy I was thinking maybe I could hide the fact that I been slipping lately Shit been getting kinda different baby It's got me thinking that I'm tripping maybe like whoa What the f*ck is going on I don't know But it feels like it's been wrong It's hard to explain, I harbored the pain I don't know what's going on in my brain I try to leave and it's calling my name I don't know why or how all of it came Yo I'd pick 'em out as I'd drive the block Guess I forgot there's a sign to stop But I ain't seem to really give a f*ck I was drinking up so I'd hide a lot Cause out there man the judgements high And in here I can justify all the bullshit that I choose to do Then blame you yo what a guy like wow Yo really I'm sick of the pain Time's that I write I don't think of the pain It's just a way I can bitch and complain And that's what I've done, for three minutes straight I don't think I'm ever leaving this place I was convinced to believe that It's safe I need to make me the cleanest of breaks Down in this hole, don't think I'll ever get out Man I'm crowded with doubt in my soul Tried to rewrite past, let my life pass Now I'm thinking that I'm bout to roll Man I'm thinking that's what I'm a try to do Man I'm praying somebody will guide me through I've been waiting here for like too long now I'm really thinking that the time has flew like yeah yeah And my life probably should have never went like that But even when I leave I don't know man I'm sent right back Right back to the basement Back back to the basement Yeah aye yeah aye yeah yeah Whoo Out of my fucking mind yeah
