Basic Lyrics by Overlander

Basic

2017

[Intro]
I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?
And I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?

[Chorus]
I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?
And I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?
When you're basic

You're basic, you're basic, you're basic... I'm just saying
You're basic, you're basic, you're basic, wait... I'm just saying

[Verse 1]
I've been around for a couple days, living with my funny ways, Living in this funny race
Yeah, and what you say doesn't get to me, why? We all stuck in this stupid race. Yeah, yeah it's a race its a race to fame

[Verse 2]
Lord forgive me, I'm from another level where you can't reach me
This is an art form where you can't feel me
So put your pistols down and hear me clearly
And for my distant friends, I'll miss you dearly
Cause this right here is yours sincerely
I've been going quicker than you thought quickly
And I'll be on my way so don't diss me seriously

For my distant friends I'll miss you dearly
Cause if you think you're part of this re-think swiftly

You're basic, you're basic, you're basic

[Chorus 2]
I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?
And I'm just doing my thing
I'm just doing my thing
Who are you to judge this?
When you're basic

[Refrain]

I'm still here you can't get on my tier
And I'm standing here on the Brighton pier

[Chorus 3]
You're basic, you're basic, you're basic... I'm just saying
You're basic, you're basic, you're basic

[Verse 4]
I've been whiling on my own...
And if a boy try to hola then I'll tell him what I oughta'
You're a real common brother, you don't steer you just follow
Been alone for some weeks in melancholy
And I know they don't love me but that's just how it be
And to be honest my confidence hasn't been the strongest
I mean I act like a king but my ego's thin

But my ego's thin, but my ego's thin, yeah, but my ego's thin

I've been checking my phone lately, nobody really ever seem to call lately, maybe that's cause I've kept my circles closed lately
Maybe it's cause I'm different no-one gets me lately
Maybe it's just me

[Verse 6]
I'll be sitting in a Ritz with my zits
And I know you can't see me cause the tint
It's your shifty mobster moving too quick
You can attempt to stop me I don't relinquish
You try to abolish and then I republish
I flow like jelly fish and I've got plenty of this
You try to fit in like a cuttlefish
But your breath smelling like you ate some horseradish, just please


[Chorus 4]
You're basic, I'm brainsick
You're nameless, and you've got no status
And although I'm not famous, I got patience
My music too flagrant, so come taste it

[Verse 6]
A lot of people they just leave me alone
Now I did all this on my own
Man this what happen when you leave me alone...see

[Chorus 4]
You're basic, just face it
You're basic, and I'm complaining


It's a one man band right?...
