Royce Da 5'9" - The Basement (Light's Out) lyrics

[Chorus:] Today's a new day to find the old way That we used to be when we're alone It's been so hollow and full of sorrow We cut each other right down to the bone [Verse 1:] Drama yeah come one come all, read bout it Some rise and then some fall But us fall? We doubt it We stylin, C Tops and candy cane Being vicious riding, side by side Looking like the gumball three thousand Rebound, the toast one to this life Singing Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney The girl's mine to the white And when the time is nice I tangle with my own criminal mind I'm in the vine but I'm only getting twined when Mike Bout to take it back to back when raptor was immaculate I'm here cause of my acumen, flying off on a tour Now I'm in that dirty mansion looking at a bands of b**hes Get vacuuming and I ain't talking the floor Made my next move be my best move And may these b**hes never bounce And may they keep coming like my cheques do Ace all the time, order me another round As your mind keep spinning around in this smoking lounge [Chorus] [Verse 2:] Bring me back in the basement, right back in time When we loop the record, let it on and let it rhyme The days of way back, back The days of the track, track The days before any record contract Going back in the days yeah right back in time When we loop a record, let on and let it rhyme The days of way back, back The days of the track, track The days before any record contract We going back (Back, back back (round and round) Before I even kicked a verse, before i even spit a rhyme I started playing with the words that transformed into a line Before it was a hobby man, before it turned into my grind Before I found my destiny, before I knew it was my time Before all these shorty's and all these chicks get on my dick Before the times I had no seeds in my knicks Before I thought of a contract, before I thought of making it out My n***as was hustling on the corner and all the D's were shaking it out Before iPods and all these DVD players We had tape ca**ette deck, that was before CD players Before HD quality and all these 3D layers Before that Samsung flat screen TV player Before I heard Woo Tang, before I heard Biggy Smalls Before I heard nasty lines, before they tore up the city ya'll I fell in love with hip-hop when I was a little n**y yo (Back, back, back (round and round)) [Chorus] [Outro:] I still remember our first December St. Augustine that day's been you and me Although it's hazy We seemed like crazy My [?] is the basement, you and me Tie, think I'm slick Take a second just listen Auditory, envisionary thinking they can just keep on ticking Tie, think I'm slick Take a second just listen Auditory, envisionary thinking they can just keep ticking
