Basic Lyrics by Stanley Ray

BabyBoy

2020

Man this beat feels good

Verse 1: You...can't tell me how to dress
Who I can and can't empress
Stay back wit all that mess
And You...can't tell me how to be
How I can and cannot speak
Go away and just let me be me

Chorus Intro: Get to know me, know me
And just show me, show me
Support me, support me
Sometimes I get so confused
Just love me, love me
Don't judge me, judge me
Don't change me
Cause I'm not gonna change for you

Chorus: Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I gotta do what's better for me
Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I just gotta replace it. If you'd just believe in me

Verse 2: You...can't tell me how to act
And I know that's a fact
Cause I am not your average ordinary boy
Ohh You...just worry about yourself
I don't wanna be like anyone else
Cause I can do bad by my damn self

Chorus Intro: Get to know me, know me
And just show me, show me
Support me, support me
Sometimes I get so confused
Just love me, love me
Don't judge me, judge me
Don't change me
Cause I'm not gonna change for you

Chorus: Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I gotta do what's better for me
Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I just gotta replace it. If you'd just believe in me

Bridge: No! Never gonna change for you
No! Never gonna live for you
No! Never gonna change for you
No! Never gonna live for you
No! Never gonna change for you
No! Never gonna live for you. (No, no)
Don't be mean to the kid, believe in the kid

Breakdown: Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up. Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up. Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

Chorus: Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I gotta do what's better for me
Ohh basic. I don't wanna be basic
I just gotta replace it
If you'd just believe in me
....And I'm out!
