Drmr - The Basement

It's a simple task
I need respect- I hoped we'd never clash
Reflecting back to when I sat in class
My teacher African
He telling me I'll never make as an actor
Just be a doctor or something
Well sheesh dog- maybe my life is different, uh
Never thought this decision would turn out hella difficult
That's when I made the choice that turned out hella pivotal
Decide to snatch the mic in front of lights that blind the simple folk
A beast that's really mythical
You corny niggas don't get the point
I'm at the griffins door
You running on elliptical
I've been writing raps since we were chilling in the living room
Praying that we get enough paper to make the ceilings move
Now I'm a different dude
A different breed- I feed on life exp- my inner ki
Ignites
When I write to you
Think every night of you
Cause in my darkest days you might have held a light or two
Wait. On. Me
I've. Found. Peace
Don't know how they'll take it
Know that I'm gonna make it
Coming live
From the basement
Ain't no replacing me
Imma live forever
I was the one that found you, covered, and gave you shelter
Gave you the best of me
Raised you since you were three
I've watched your every move- I know where all your secrets be
I'm telling everything
From every single rest in peace
To every infidelity
The shadows are in debt to me
These walls talk and- I've heard often- you don't believe in your ability to purge coffins
My voice softens- to hear you speak
Let these people know your life through your admissions of guilt
Give them a peek into the aftermath
And after math- we may be catching back to back
Roast sessions- cuz you know children don't know how to act
You stick to poetry and hide inside your perfect shell tho
Been underground so long you might as well be Donatello
When you gon show these folks the star you've become
Your supernova could explode and be as bright as the sun
You're the one
Wait. On. Me
I've. Found. Peace
Don't know how they'll take it
Know that I'm gonna make it
Coming live
From the basement
Thank you Raquioa for being the other black sheep
Thank you Kevina for showing me I can change things
And thank you Tasha for seeing through the imposters
When it led to rock em sock em- you twist em and then you bop it
JaVaughn told me that I could switch my whole life in an instant
And Kevin taught me at times- you gotta keep your distance
I wonder if my other brother thought the same as well
Stuck in a cell
Do you believe in heaven or hell
With no one to bail
Just wanna excel
In the morning inhale and in the evening exhale
Get through another day
Gotta learn from sinning- how else you become the sensei
When mom and pops would speak- I had to heed the wisdom they'd say
Been seeing life through these bronze lenses
My palms itching
I feel like I'm so close- the clocks ticking
I dodge vixens- they sirens when they wail
They be flexing with projections- but they're destined to fail
Now they're detecting my rejection- and they say it ain't fair
All this stuff weigh over ton- it's like I'm drilling Sinclair
When I was single- used to mingle, sneaking women through the window
Only time I would get caught was when they stopped biting the pillow
I'm grounded for a while and now I'm stuck inside my mental
Reliving past pains and heartbreaks that I've been through
But this is just an intro to The Last Few Days
These are the stories from the basement off of Topawa Place
