The Basics Video (MV)

Take it back to the basics
But ain't nothing bout me basic
Most niggas would have caved in
Let me go I feel caged in
Mami creole cajun
Thick as f*ck head amazing
Thank God I was patient
I was grinding while I waited
I don't need no demonstration
Hold it down like I was pavement
I don't want nothing but payment
I don't know what they be claiming
F*ck diamonds in the face bitch
Debt-free is what I call rich
My time is what I call this
All that other shit is garbage
I got to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Is it me you love
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
If I am then say so
Trust a nigga with the safe code
Talk about you want to be close
Then turn around and hit another note
I think about it when I lay awake
Never thought I'd ever see the day
We would ever go a separate way
But people change it's a time thing
Take it back to the basics
Shell toes, fat laces
I can see it in your face clear
Even more than I did then
Built it all with my two hands
I don't think you'll ever comprehend
Real shit take common sense
And all yall care about is compliments
Being strong take confidence
Away from yall is where the profit is
I'ma buy my bitch a Benz truck
Put these hoes in the friend zone
Been down but I kept it up
Nothing gone ever compare to this
Everything pale in comparison
You blew your shot how embarrassing
I got to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Is it me you love
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
If I am then say so
Trust a nigga with the safe code
Talk about you want to be close
Then turn around and hit another note
I think about it when I lay awake
Never thought I'd ever see the day
We would ever go a separate way
But people change it's a time thing
I got to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Is it me you love
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
