REVERIE - The Basement lyrics
[REVERIE - The Basement lyrics]
I remember we had nothing!
Remember we had nothing?
Roaches in the studio, thugging
Back when nobody believed in us
& now they calling, they needing us
I only heard "NO" nobody saying "YES"
I was scrapping my pennies
Invest every cent into this shit
They was at the party
I was locked inside the basement
Back when it was all a dream
I had to chase it
Nobody believed, just Louden on the beat
Just a home studio
Driving a bucket in the streets jeez!
Praying on my knees, criticizing God
Tryna gеt out this spot
But I can’t keep a motherfucken job
Struggling with thesе drugs
I couldn’t stop the pain
Battling depression & driving myself insane
Sometimes still feel like those days
That shit keep me so humble
But nowadays I know ain’t no limit's
To where I can go
Big up my family, friends, my fans
I love you so much i feel you in my heart
Carry you everywhere I’m going
This my testimony, my moment of clarity
I know this my calling
My past was just preparing me
Every country I step on, the people feel me
Never gon stop this rap shit
Not until they fucken kill me
Remember we had nothing? It was all a dream
Roaches in the studio
Look what it came to be!
"When you gon get a real job?"
"You should go back to school"
They couldn’t see the vision
But I refused to listen
Rats inside the walls
I could hear em while I’m sleeping
Working on the weekends
Drowning in the deep end
Maggots in the kitchen
I can’t deal with this shit
Fans thinking I’m stunting
But I feel like a bum
I feel like it’s never gonna work
On foodstamps
Getting high while the tune blasts
Life passes too fast sleepless nights
Dope inside the pipe
Notebooks filled with rhymes
That really was my life
The basement was the dungeon
Gutter, ain’t no fun shit
If I had to go back in time
I still would’ve done it
Spent all of my savings, lost racks
Fake friends I thought was family all facts
You’re dead to me, no pass
Look me in my eyes while
You stealing from my pockets
Learned a lot of lessons
That’s part of this success shit
You can’t buy loyalty
That’s why all my days 1s still with
Me today gon enjoy this with me
From the bus to my bucket
Scraping by or stunting
I don’t need a budget
I do this cuz I love it!
Remember we had nothing? It was all a dream
Roaches in the studio
Look what it came to be!
Remember we had nothing?
Roaches in the studio, thugging
Back when nobody believed in us
& now they calling, they needing us
I only heard "NO" nobody saying "YES"
I was scrapping my pennies
Invest every cent into this shit

Back when it was all a dream

Nobody believed, just Louden on the beat
