Rêverie - The Basement lyrics

I remember we had nothing! Remember we had nothing? Roaches in the studio, thugging Back when nobody believed in us & now they calling, they needing us I only heard “no” Nobody saying “yes” I was scrapping my pennies Invest every cent into this sh*t They was at the party I was locked inside the basement Back when it was all a dream, i had to chase it Nobody believed, just louden on the beat Just a home studio Driving a bucket in the streets Jeez! Praying on my knees, criticizing god Tryna gеt out this spot, but i can’t keep a motherfu*ken job Struggling with thesе drugs I couldn’t stop the pain Battling depression & driving myself insane Sometimes still feel like those days That sh*t keep me so humble But nowadays i know ain’t no limits to where i can go Big up my family, friends, my fans, i love you so much I feel you in my heart, carry you everywhere i’m going This my testimony, my moment of clarity I know this my calling, my past was just preparing me Every country i step on, the people feel me Never gon stop this rap sh*t, not until they fu*ken kill me Remember we had nothing? It was all a dream Roaches in the studio Look what it came to be! “when you gon get a real job?” “you should go back to school.” They couldn’t see the vision, but i refused to listen Rats inside the walls, i could hear em while i’m sleeping Working on the weekends Drowning in the deep end Maggots in the kitchen I can’t deal with this sh*t Fans thinking i’m stunting, but i feel like a bum I feel like it’s never gonna work On foodstamps Getting high while the tune blasts Life passes too fast Sleepless nights Dope inside the pipe Notebooks filled with rhymes That really was my life The basement was the dungeon Gutter, ain’t no fun sh*t If i had to go back in time, i still would’ve done it Spent all of my savings, lost racks Fake friends i thought was family All facts You’re dead to me, no pass Look me in my eyes while you stealing from my pockets Learned a lot of lessons That’s part of this success sh*t You can’t buy loyalty That’s why all my days 1s still with me today gon enjoy this with me From the bus to my bucket Scraping by or stunting I don’t need a budget I do this cuz i love it! Remember we had nothing? It was all a dream Roaches in the studio Look what it came to be!
