[Intro]

Basement life

Christmas lights

Gin with Sprite

Wine on ice

Short list of the things that I like

It's funny how drunk nights describe life

Feel my lines

Hear my rhymes

Recycling bottles, we on the wintertime grind

Savin' up bucks to get wintertime drunk

Phones on silent, lets have fun

[Verse 1]

Run in garage

Chillin' in the rush

Ice was gone

Somebody run to the store

Get a big thing of cubes and a six pack of Dew, see we do real big

I wish you'd get a clue

Just teenagers, sub woof bangin'

Cops knock on the door, quiet 'till they leavin'

Now turn it up, that all the neighbors hearin'

Pals started talkin', the girls started hearin'

The ways that the young do [?]

That's party all the time first week day two

Sixtel new, get up that Dew

Whatever we did last night, times two

Skip school, act foolish like kids do

Run 'em up through town then go back to

The basement, come and stay the night

I'd like to welcome y'all to the times of my life

[Verse 2]

I ain't losin' friends, but I be losing sleep

In the garage at night screamin' lyrics to that shit

[?], pouring out my soul, trying to balance my composure, but I can't do it alone

I need my gang with me

I see what things'll be

For the dope-ass kids from scrap nation

From off the [?], turn it back again

I need some space

I say, I need some time

I got my foot in the door, and I got money on my mind

Because I, I'm steady racin' in the marathon

I'm steady, pushin' my way off the bar

I'm steady, dreaming, oh I'm steady dreamin'

I can show everybody what I be California Dreamin'

[Hook]

I came from the basement, grew up in the basement

Tanqueray on shallow days, feelin' like we made it

I be in the basement

I wish that you could face it

The picture's out of focus, but the image never fading

[Verse 4]

See, y'all trying to do what we already done

So no matter what, you just a re-run

Yo, click rewind, hit me twice, we can settle what you said, you ain't consider me tight

I'm a K2-kid on my K2-shit

Take me into your lungs, I'ma let loose bitch with the loose cannons

Runnin' town like errands

When we shot at, we shot back like Terrance

We was the ones that made the past

Gave a [?] the liter and guess who was dead last

Y'all was in the bag, who was first class?

When I see [?], half full glass

But you was still mad, plannin' your attack

Made 'cause we had somethin' you'll never have

Tally, creativity, just imaginin' a world without us is like ones without the magic

Stars, planets, worlds collide

Then the red lights on and the Kid goes live

Time flies when you truly alive

I'd like to welcome y'all to the times of my life

[Hook]

I came from the basement, grew up in the basement

Tanqueray on shallow days, feelin' like we made it

I be in the basement

I wish that you could face it

The picture's out of focus, but the image never fading

Welcome to the basement

[?] with the basement

Welcome to the basement

I'm feelin' like we made it

Welcome to the basement
