Basically Lyrics

Reach for the light during the darkest times

Listening to the wind so I can hear the chimes

AK just getting started, tryin to reach my prime

I just decided that I want my album font lime

Yeah

And I'm a hermit when it's crunch time

I clear my plate and get back in the lunch line

It slaps when you use facts for a punch line

And I got the kinda vibe that makes ya soul climb

Yeah

Been tryna loosen up the soul ties

So I can sharpen up the vision as the time flies

Cos niggas been crashin out and I want no ties

But hey I understand, cos I ain't always been wise

Yeah

I know this world is a thin line

Full of battles and I'm out here tryna win mine

From many miles away I can smell the big lies

I do it all, so Ion really need the big guys

Even if that means I gotta be a small fry

You can conquer anything, as long as you try

People say they play my songs

And it makes them cry

That's because they feel the pain and what it implies

That's because they feel the pain and what it implies

Yeah

Every song feels like a holy grail

I had to re-route

So many demons on my trail

Any weapon formed against me

Gon always fail

Eversince my Dad died

I ain't been doin well

Tuh

I spend my days tryna keep calm

I've become a workaholic

Tryna evolve, Tryna re-invent

The old me gotta dissolve

Gotta make the blue print, so that we ball

So that I gotta little room and I can freefall

I gotta stay disciplined, so I can teach ya'll

Thinking of clever ways that I can reach ya'll

I got the pieces to the puzzle, let me install

Everybody want the praise, they wanna enthrall

Once you see the bullshit, that's when they blackball

That's why I do my own shit, I got the wherewithal

Sharp pains in my back, I was against the wall

I needed encouragement, I wasn't getting calls

Wasn't getting anywhere chasin waterfalls

I used a pen for the pain, no Tylenol

I'm all action, no talk, I ain't flappin jaws

I'm all action, no talk, I ain't flappin jaws

Yeah

Gotta forgive, cos I'm tryna live

I'm dedicated to the music, work it like a gig

Shoutout to the loyal ones that never reneged

I can't wait to pay em back when I make it big

Tuh

I recently had to make a switch

Fixed the pitch

Yeah, I'm on my Gang Starr shit

Full clip

And I got a pocket full of wit

I'm hella private

So this is how I gotta vent

On the ridge

Now it's time for me to cross the bridge

Another helping on my plate

I gotta make it fit

Enjoy Life

Remove the lid, so you can take a swig

I bet you gon look back

And be proud you did

And as the time ticks

They gon jump ship

They gon treat you like a habit

That they tryna kick

But don't quit

Opposition means you da shit

If it don't make you grow

Then it's time to split

Yeah

Self doubt makes you lose your grip

And you take steps back everytime you trip

And if the armor chip

Stick to the script

Basically you'll find peace when you livin strict

Basically you'll find peace when you livin strict
