Basment Music

J.R.E - Basement Music
[Intro]
(Oh lord Oh Lord)

True story, against all odds I made it out baby
I made it out the basement
[Ayeee]
Look at me now

[Chorus]
Started in the basement
Now I’m going place
Ive got new diamonds dancing on me Ay
Was under rated
Now I’m blowing blue faces
Gotta keep a couple bands on me Ay

I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
Nooooo

[Verse 1]
Niggas fronted on me like a hair cut
They was sleeping on me had to get up
I fucking broke and I was messed up
Ain't no Doc but I’m running a Check-up

Niggas snitched to cops
Still can’t believe that they raided my spot
You talking spicy you just making it hot
Silent nigga never saying a lot
Faded or not

Started at the bottom but they no I’m here now
They saw me building up but they were tryna tear it down
My life was sewage been through swear it was so hard
I had to do it prove it to do it I had to show y’all

That a nigga wasn’t gone lose
(Yea yea yea)
Regardless of shit I was going through
(Yea yea yea)
I ain't stopping bitch I gotta move
(Yea yea yea)
Im winning now that all I do

Against all odds you know I made it out
Remember nights she used to cry now I make mama proud
Im getting faded on a PJ blowing hella loud
I fucking made to the life I used to dream about

[Chorus]
Started in the basement
Now I’m going place
Ive got new diamonds dancing on me Ay
Was under rated
Now I’m blowing blue faces
Gotta keep a couple bands on me Ay

I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
Nooooo

[Verse 2]
Oooo Ooo I helped many people who wasted my time
And when they said I couldn’t make I stayed on my grind
Cause I had bigger goals I knew that I was born to shine
And they just hated cause they really wanted what was mine yea yea

I shared my blessings with people who didn’t deserve it
And Then they turned around an told me I was worthless
I bet they know now hard I’ve been working for this
They see the glitter but my life was never perfect

But I never gave it up nah
I Was always down to work yea
Remember being out of luck
But I never let it stop me

I had to make it couldn’t fake against all odds
I had to take it to break in now I’m an allstar

I couldn’t give up
Now my wrist is lit up
And even at my lowest I still acted like I been up

I’ve been played bitch
And I’ve been hated
But it all started in the basement

[Chorus]
Started in the basement
Now I’m going place
Ive got new diamonds dancing on me Ay
Was under rated
Now I’m blowing blue faces
Gotta keep a couple bands on me Ay

I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
I took some L’s now
But I’m the man now
Cause I just really wanted it I couldn’t back down
Nooooo
