[Intro]

Man, sometimes when you ask for the most basic things. It’s

Almost like you’re asking for too much. Is it really a crime to

Ask for good music, good women, good friends? Sometimes

You don’t wanna settle for less.. you just want what you

Want. Nothing more, nothing less

[Verse 1]

The other day I heard a song from my favorite group

Shameful how they were basically chasing loot

They replaced all the sample-based breaks and loops

With cheap keyboard beats, it was disgraceful dude

I had to face the truth, it ain’t the 90’s

Brothers were grimey, tough acts to follow

I tried listening but all my favorite rappers

They made a transition into acting and fashion models

Damn, who ain’t trying to be Denzel?

Who just wanna express the music within self?

Who wanna be a true musician?

See a few fists in the air screaming “yeah” from the few dudes listening

Artists who were truly cherished are now perishing

The ones left are generic embarrassments

That ain’t arrogance, yo I’m speaking as a fan

Anybody with a decent pair of speakers understands

I just wanna hear a lyricist killing it, period

He ain’t gotta change fucking lives man

I’m serious, dope rhymes over sick production is all I really ask for

Cut and dry

[Hook]

Give me something I feel, good music is all I ask for

Something authentic, genuine, real

That’s all I really need, I won’t ask for more

As long as I just get the basics, that’s just my expectations

That’s just my, that’s just my, that’s just my expectations

[Verse 2]

The other night I was talking to a female associate

Openly and honestly ‘cause we’re real and closely knit

We discussed how relationships falter

And how some of our friends have raced to the alter

She glanced down at the ring on my hand

And asked “Supa, would you wanna be single again”

I said some of these girls, they forgot what being ladies means

I rather be shot than be back on the dating scene

She heard my answer and laughed, I replied

"What chance do I have when they’re lacking the basic things

Taking pics with their hands on their ass dressed scantily clad

That’s the woman that I make my queen?"

I guess I’m just an old school graduate that admits

A certain way of thinking is inadequate

That ain’t the wavelength I function on

I’m not impressed with how many pair of Dunks you on

I’m not impressed with your measurements

I’m not impressed with you in a flick kissing your girl pretending to be lesbian

I’m not impressed with how many superstars tweeted you

Or what you do in bed, let’s keep it between me and you

I don’t mean to sound condescending, I’m just telling you

My kind of women, that’s my personal right

Nothing unbecoming, I just want a humble woman

Who loves God and her personal life but it is too much to ask?

[Hook]
