Basics

Back to the basics I'm pacing
Can't believe how long it's taking
This don't feel like a vacation
When will this end, I'm impatient

It's a new thing we all been facing
It's a new thing so we need savings
Locked our cages, lemme say this
Why we all chained to the debt payments?

Back to the basics I'm waiting
Taught to eliminate the pain and
Move in to big house with a family
So everyone will stare in amazement

American dreams, we all chase em
Nobody sees that it's dangerous
I was taught to be pounding the pavement
Work hard play hard, no limitations

Back to the basics but I'm caving
Yeah I'm on pace but I been craving
Selfish ways put me in a basement
Now I'm in too deep like an engraving

Back to the basics like braces
Used to hate em but I am grateful
Feels like I regress while I'm training
Filled with regrets, but I fake it

Just want a space in haven
And convince you that I made it
Don't make sense when I phrase it
Too confused so I'm jaded
Tycoon chase, now I gotta reframe it

Back to the basics I'm saved and
Money ain't God but it is sacred
Blessed with a job and a paycheck
But when I am gone, I can't take take em

Feelin this pressure to push on the pedal
Put money on pedastals when will we settle
We sever vessel cuz we are competitive
We gotta eat so we vacate the premises

We are impatient yeah we get ahead
But when we can't accept it we blame it on everyone else
Lies we are tellin ourselves
No one is better than us, hah!

We're all created equal
First thing's first no this ain't a sequel
Never lose hope we are one people
Gotta stay woke don't take no Zzz-quil

In the meantime what it seems like
Is a me-fight on the sidelines in spite of a
Category 5 and it's worldwide can we cease-fire for
Enough time to uncover

Peace that can end the beef with enemies
Amend decrees and make sense of a quarantine
Define what is happening
And refine what is yet to be
Let's lift em up

One time for the parenting
One time for the new degrees
One time for small business owners
One time for the sports teams
But no time for the enemy

Division tearin us apart
Fighting heart with a heart
But we gotta start
Picking our battles, it's hard
But if you want freedom it's par for the course

We can go far
Can you go the furthest He'll never desert us
Our sins will be burnt up so heat up the furnace
His life is a gift so let's try to be earnest
And listen and give and then never stop learning

I heard the percentages
End the oppression it's in our vicinity
When will we listen and fight til we die or we
Stop all the bigotry promo the symmetry

Go til infinity ends
We should be switchin the lens
Switch it til enemies looking like friends
Switchin positions just give it a chance
Love always wins
