What's the Basics (feat. Danny Blue)

Can you tell me what's the basics living in the matrix
Trying to make it through the fake shit?
Try to make your best day
But you struggle where you stay
And that wage ain't saving
Still them bills need paying
And you got to feed the babies
What's the means we taking?
What's the means we taking?
Can you tell me what's the basics living in the matrix
Trying to make it through the fake shit?
Try to make your best day
But you struggle where you stay
And that wage ain't saving
Still them bills need paying
And you got to feed the babies
Yea
What's the means we taking?
What's the means we taking?

Any of em to combat the struggle
Half a zip to a bag of money
Pack and flips or you bagging chips
Life's a trip, you got to stand for something
Prayers every Sunday, my Grams and em keep me on my job
And my faith in this
Fuck these garnishments, I'm trying to pay the rent
I got to suffer now for some shit I did
Gone for mine
This that overtime
Script a note of rhymes, etching goals with lines til we all in power
Playing chess for hours, just to tighten up
Light me something for the ones we loss
Never one forgotten in the struggle, God
I'm calling Yah
Trying to find resolve without death results
Rappers slain before they prime was caught
Rest in peace to Take at only 28, with so much to grow
But niggas killing woes cause they feeling low
And want to steal your shine
In these dark of times, where the light of God ain't that hard to find
We trying though we dying, though
Why we got to flow through these obstacles trying to reach our goals
Let the chorus flow
Whoa

Can you tell me what's the basics living in the matrix
Trying to make it through the fake shit?
Try to make your best day
But you struggle where you stay
And that wage ain't saving
Still them bills need paying
And you got to feed the babies
What's the means we taking?
What's the means we taking?
Can you tell me what's the basics living in the matrix
Trying to make it through the fake shit?
Try to make your best day
But you struggle where you stay
And that wage ain't saving
Still them bills need paying
And you got to feed the babies
Yea
What's the means we taking?
What's the means we taking?

Sick of talking, got lockjaw
I pop off and I'm the bad guy in the pot toss
I'm pissed off but they gon push me there where it tip off and I can't keep my cool and I lose it
I get caught up in the music
And put a bullet in a nigga talkin stupid at me
Then air out his whole click cuz I ain't got the time for the hootenanny
But I don't know what that shit mean
Anyway
Just know it's niggas that'll shoot broad day
Don't care if you or Jimmy choo in the way
If you and you on a date
If Ben and Jerry's got all of the flavors they say
It leave you dead in the gutter in front ya sis and ya mother then shoot the candle, light mutters
Hittin your auntie and cousins
Grandmommas, even the babies who stutter
Cuz half these niggas can't control they emotions
They act more bitch than the bitch they consoling
So while I aim this thirty eight at the clerk dump out ya purse I grab the doe, a Gatorade and disperse, Nigga
