[Verse 1]
Back to the basics, yeah
Back to the basics
Had to get back to the basics, yeah
Time can't be wasted
[Verse 2]
I had 20/20 vision, back to the basics, yeah
Destroyed their relation, all Perked out on a regular basis, yeah
I was praying for my dog, he was fightin' all the paces, told me
"If anybody gon' make it out, you gotta make it"
So, I carry my head to the sky
Can't let him fall, no, can't see him crack
Hope I live long enough to see my son look him in the eye and tell him
"Daddy ain't perfect, but I'm on your side, no"
[Verse 3]
I didn't test all my reals, test on faith
See, my partner looked me dead in the eye, lied in my face
Can't put my trust in mere man, but my God, He great
But I can't lie, said the double cross ain't hurt me that day
Said I pranced on myself, it ain't hurt me that day
Get all the drugs, Lord, no worries, still hurt me that way
Finding out the game is anybody won it, it can cost you the fame
So, I don't play blue skies, just to fade to gray
[Verse 4]
Mama said I never keep my head down
So many ways we had to take losses
Oh, but with God, through them trenches I don't fear now
Took a chance and I was some boss
Everybody wanna share, yeah, they here now
They don't really know what it costs
In a crash test, I don't even steer now
If I got called, yeah, I'm on
[Verse 5]
Fourth quarter pressure, throwin' up fours, ain't got timeouts
Snowball for the dude, now I take the high route
My hundred soldiers, Scootie, how you doing? Come and find out
When it cut a loss my way, then blow my mind out
I'm a low-country baby, some real big guy
So, I ate up this sky here, got a real big squad
I'ma play the background, yeah, play my part
On that road to Heaven, yeah, I made that full start
My close friend, well, lot of killers they got good hearts
I'm praying every day that my enemy get a new start
My close friend, well, lot of killers they got good hearts
Forget the skin, I see the soul, just the good part, yeah
[Verse 6]
Mama said I never keep my head down
So many ways we had to take losses
Oh, but with God, through them trenches I don't fear now
Took a chance and I was some boss
Everybody wanna share, yeah, they here now
They don't really know what it costs
In a crash test, I don't even steer now
If I got called, yeah, I'm on
