DAVEE Back To The Basics (Official Audio) Lyrics

You heating up Lavish

Yeah let's take it back to the basics

Let's take it back to when I slept inside the basement

Stomach on E cold nights I couldn't take it

Hungry for a chance they caught me digging in the mason

Grab the work became a chef long nights freebasing

Yeah I told my dawg before we die I swear to God that we gon' make it

Yeah yeah

Sad to say my dawg never made it

Closed casket I seen that hearse I started shaking

Supposed to guard your life why you let these niggas take it

Ride with a pipe play games get a facelift

Yeah but it ain't easy like that

Most of these niggas ain't got shot at got back up and shot back

I know a nigga got shot in his back and never came back

I know a nigga that got jammed up and cracked in his cap

But Lord I'm just trying to win

Running from my past it keep trying to make me sin

I come from the slums so I'm not trying to blend in

Blend in

Yeah

And what I mean by that is be another nigga on the block

Be another nigga riding around toting Glocks

Be another nigga riding around with 50 shots

Or be another nigga who get put inside a box

For real

I didn't cry when Franklin died I wanted to get back

Lot of niggas acting like they knew my dawg that's cap

Lot of niggas acting like they did something that's cap

Most you niggas pussy and you know it

Facts I took that personal

Glock on my hip nowadays it's on my personal

What they did to bro I swear to God I can't be merciful

Look you in your eye before you die get up and personal

Yeah

Yeah

Warm on the west but it get cold in the east

Nowadays it's hard to get some peace

When you're back against the wall and you fight demons in your sleep

And ain't nobody else to call because everybody got their hands out

Asking for a piece

Yeah

But I gave way more than a piece

I gave the whole loaf but ain't get shit back in return except the crumbs from the toast

Them ain't your folks if they keep asking for more than get mad when you tell them no

So I go back to the basics

Go back to my roots

Ain't talking about the Pelle Pelle coat or the K-Swiss shoes

I'm talking about the ACG Nike boots

I'm talking about when cousin asked me in the car would I shoot I would

Don't ask me cause I don't belong to no hood

The hood never tried to check to see if we good

The hood rather keep a nigga down if they could

Yeah
