Basement Lyrics by Nico Lindsay

On My Mind

2011

[Intro]
I've been here for a while still
And it's like
Come now, nobody gotta contact me
I just got based in this basement
And I'm just here
So what?
Don't wanna let me out, nah?
OK, I'mma do it, watch me
[Hook]
Right now, it feels like I'm trapped
In a basement, sitting down, writing tracks
Recording to the walls, it's getting me kinda mad
They need to hear me out, I'm a threat, that's a fact
[Verse 1]
Who's hearing?
Right now, it feels like no one
Who cares? Well, probably me
Act like I don't when I definitely see
There's better in me, I start doubting
Other days, I think I'm better than thousands
So many shouting, that's all irrelevant
Caged in, raging, placing me separate
Fair enough, I'm hearing ya
But hear me, I've got bars for ya
Don't air me out, I'm cold
I evolved to a threat like a yout man
Holding a TEC to your chest for a cheque
I got caught? Then place me arrest
Stuck in a basement, vexed
Tryna burn time, just without wasting a sec
[Hook]
Right now, it feels like I'm trapped
In a basement, sitting down, writing tracks
Recording to the walls, it's getting me kinda mad
They need to hear me out, I'm a threat, that's a fact
[Verse 2]
A pen, a book and a CD
Four walls, no windows to exit
My brain holds the info
But I ain't tapped in, I tapped out
Find it chilling, temperature's low
I wanna get out and get me involved
But I'm held back, voices telling me
I haven't changed but then I repel that
Like that you smell that
I ain't feeling it
Sometimes I am, sometimes I don't
Sometimes I chill, sometimes I boass
Trapped in
Never feel like I'm active
Actions speak way louder
I pick beats, open up like a flower and rise like a tower
[Hook]
Right now, it feels like I'm trapped
In a basement, sitting down, writing tracks
Recording to the walls, it's getting me kinda mad
They need to hear me out, I'm a threat, that's a fact
[Hook]
Right now, it feels like I'm trapped
In a basement, sitting down, writing tracks
Recording to the walls, it's getting me kinda mad
They need to hear me out, I'm a threat, that's a fact
[Verse 3]
You hold the key
Still ain't got no control of me
I'll break it down and leave when ready
I'll make an impact that'll break your settee
Hold on, who spits like that? Not me
When I get out, you will hear more properly
Stop me? Never, block me? Never
I wear the trousers, woolies and sweaters
Before, I was fed up, now I'm like get up
Rewrite the bar, don't stop till it's better
Stuck in the basement, when I get out
I'mma move more clever
Cheddar chasing, never raving
Only if it benefits me making
And stay away to my goal
I bang it to the side and you hit the post
