Basics Lyrics by Eli Sostre

Sleep Is for the Weak

2017

[Intro : Producer tag]
PJ pipe it up cuz

[Verse 1]
I ain't even gotta stress it
I ain't even on the block
Still the love is a blessin'
You know Elo need to drop
I be workin' like it's full time
Even when it's not
Don't be talkin' to these other niggas
Man I treat 'em like an opp
Got it clean but it feel dirty
On the next tale and we still chirpin'
Nothin' close but it feel perfect
Lost a lot but it feel worth it
Bullshit, less time for it
Timbos, no Tom Ford
Last time screamin' encore
Give it to 'em if they want more

[Hook]
Fuck it you know that the money is basic (Yeah)
Fuck it you know I can fuck with no basic (Yeah)
Me and my partners ain't nothin' replacin' (Yeah)
Me and my partners can nothin' replace it (Yeah, yeah)

Fuck it you know that this money is basic (Yeah, yeah)
Fuck it you know I can't fuck with no basic (Yeah, yeah)
Me and my partners ain't nothin' replacin' (Yeah)
Me and my partners can nothin' replace it (Yeah, yeah)

[Interlude / Beat Switch]

[Verse 2]
Pretty brown skin thing
I been on it for some days
Yeah I saw you couple months ago
Now I'm right here in your face
I got things on my mind
I know things we could do
I know that you got somebody else
That's between me and you
You said you don't take it too serious
You say that you way too material
I keep my money mysterious
I keep the racks in the seal
You know that I fuck with you non-stop
You know that I love when you on top
Hotel out in Vegas
Give a fuck about a hater

[Hook]
Fuck it you know that the money is basic (Yeah)
Fuck it you know I can fuck with no basic (Yeah)
Me and my partners ain't nothin' replacin' (Yeah)
Me and my partners can nothin' replace it (Yeah, yeah)

Fuck it you know that this money is basic (Yeah, yeah)
Fuck it you know I can fuck with no basic (Yeah, yeah)
Me and my partners ain't nothin' replacin' (Yeah)
Me and my partners can nothin' replace it (Yeah, yeah)
