Back to Basics

[Intro]
The physical, I'm back to basics
Yeah

[Chorus]
Fighting what I'm feeling, physical I'm back to basics
Back to back with parallel universe and spaces
The land of native Indian, we share the faces
Made it with those who made it off the slave ship
Famous, stars, straps, start smoking gas
I won't relapse, bleeding like it's tree sap
Vince Carter knee cap, me and my brothers need rap
Me and my brothers

[Verse]
Expressions on the faces that I'll never forget
Heart racing till the writing is left
Chase pavements, I collide when I step
Two faces, four persons, six spirits protect
Eight voices, ten horses, twelve miracles dealt
Can't stay for disappointment, left my conscience bereft
Longitude and latitude, my gratitude what is left
And if they ever cast a spell I let my father clear the hex
Next day, yeah, right by the stairs, her blood was in the flesh
My love for little Skylar and my big cousin Seth
Smoking getting higher, I be tired of this shit
Who am I kidding, I be lying, held the lighter to my lip
When Baker had a deathwish, when neighbors was my best friends
When Laker Nation wasn't winning, I was in it for the long haul
Speed of light I guide the ground balls
Short stop, long journey to my downfall
Rain pour sound off, the moon still 'round
Call home if you gotta
With my father playing football at the Lion's field
I'm out the lion's den
Evander Holyfield, Tyson bit the helix
Black cap, white face like Felix
You don't feel this unless you do
Ask Navy Blue who built the pyramids
Obatala, white cloth as we speak of Thoth
Days lost, more gained
I remember God, I remember choosing
Just who I wanted to come through
Body made of bruises
I tied the noose and gained movement

[Chorus]
Fighting what I'm feeling, physical I'm back to basics
Back to back with parallel universe and spaces
The land of native Indian, we share the faces
Made it with those who made it off the slave ship
Famous, stars, straps, start smoking gas
I won't relapse, bleeding like it's tree sap
Vince Carter knee cap, me and my brothers need rap
Me and my brothers
