[Verse 1]
|
My grandmas basement
|
Felt like there was no escaping
|
Some days felt suicidal
|
I was scared I would never make it
|
I got problems nigga, I got issues bitch
|
I don't want to live no more
|
Im'ma let this pistol spit
|
Give me a therapist
|
That know magic tricks
|
Prescribe me something, nigga change my life
|
I need happiness, sunshine
|
Darkness that's all I see
|
I drank away my pain and popped a few pills
|
I can't wait to fall
|
Asleep
|
Damn I think death is calling me
|
Wake up and I'm still here
|
Like fuck I'm too scared to die
|
These pills and this vodka making me feel weird
|
I don't hang around like I used to
|
Paranoid that Im'a lose her
|
I'm scared of what my bitch think
|
I know any day I might lose her
|
Too unstable to raise a kid
|
What the fuck holy shit!
|
I just came to this realization
|
Its been nine months I just noticed it
|
This must be a nightmare
|
Pinch myself, somebody awake him
|
I open my eyes and I wake
|
And I'm still right here in my grandmas basement
|
Noooo!
|
|

|
My gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement
|
My gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement
|
Some days I felt so scared I wouldn't make it
|
Some days I felt so scared I wouldn't make it
|
Yeah outta' my gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
At night I can't go to sleep
|
I feel like someone's stabbing me
|
Inside of my fucking heart
|
Just like clock work this pain grows gradually
|
Actually I still have a little bit of hope
|
Maneuvering the anguish and shit I wrote
|
I ain't got patience the way I'm dope
|
Give a nigga one shot they like, no!
|
Now its back to my grandmas basement
|
With all this anger and this frustration
|
Stress can't be complacent
|
There he go again getting wasted
|
Pacing around his room so anxious
|
Wish I had a space ship
|
'bout to go ape-shit
|
How much more can a nigga like me take it
|
Before a mother fucker go and cave in ahhh!
|
Fuck this rap shit, it ain't happening quick enough
|
My homies say I shouldn't give it up
|
But honestly I don't give a fuck
|
My girl bitching 'bout cash nigga
|
I'm strapped down to my last nigga
|
My baby hungry and need new clothes
|
And I swear they grow so fast nigga
|
These nine to fives don't pay enough
|
I'm about to hit the bank and go spray it up
|
I've got to get the fuck out this basement
|
These dreams and hopes ain't waiting up
|
This must be a nightmare
|
Pinch myself, somebody awake him
|
I open my eyes and I wake
|
And I'm still right here in my grandmas basement
|
Noooo!
|

|
[Verse 3]
|
I'm on the edge, fucked up in the head
|
I don't know who I am no mo'
|
I lost faith in religion
|
God please give me just one anticdote
|
I plan to blow
|
But I panic so much these days I can't see straight
|
We can't relate
|
Cause I'm losing it and out of my rocker
|
Don't know what to do with it
|
This music ain't lucrative
|
Papa keep talkin that go back to school
|
Bitch you sounding so ludicrous
|
Stuck on that stupid shit
|
I should be thankful while laying in the basement
|
Instead of the pavement
|
My brain is just aching
|
My city they sleeping
|
They hating
|
But fuck 'em I eat 'em
|
I'm packing my shit up this evening
|
I can't turn back
|
Fuck that
|
Shit, damn it I'm leaving
|
Got to get out of here find my way
|
My sanity's slipping
|
Im'ma go crazy
|
Got to make moves
|
What's it goin' take me
|
I'm stuck on my own
|
No one saves me
|
So what you gonna do when there's no where to go
|
And the world seems cold
|
And the pain keep aching
|
You finally made it
|
It's your worst nightmare when you lose
|
And you got to go back to the basement
|
Noooo!
