Nappy-headed
Basement dweller
Not the one
To enjoy the weather
Type to waste his cleaver-ness
On stuff that doesn't measure up
Four walls got me feeling stuck
My eyes become aqueducts
Found a four-leaf clover without the luck
Well that's my luck
Ya'll push me back
Like a tummy tuck
I always come runner up
I know when enough enough
I know when to call a bluff
I know how to get ruff
Even if it leads me in some handcuffs
I'm a basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
No sunshine
I'm a basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
No sunshine
I'm just a scrappy face
Without a place
Eyes red like I was maced
I know
I'm a disgrace
To the human race
Even atheists have more faith
Then I do in me
Can't get with unity
Since I can't work
With the inner me
I'm hated like a pharisee
It's not hard to see
The flaws that pour out
Like spout
On a watering can
Death is my demand
And I know that ya'll understand
Or maybe not
It's not my problem
Once my heart rate falls down
Like leaves in autumn
I'll meet you at the bottom
I'm a basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
No sunshine
I'm a basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
Basement dweller
No light
No sunshine
No sunshine
(I'm a basement dweller)
All alone in the dark
(I'm a basement dweller)
All by myself
(I'm a basement dweller)
All alone in the dark
(I'm a basement dweller)
All by myself
