Djo - Basic Being Basic Lyrics



Djo - Basic Being Basic Lyrics




Get food, barely eat
+
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
+
I worried, even cried
+
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
+
Bad habit, even worse
+
Fifty-fifty, I'm a sucker for looks
+
Asked for it, here it is
+
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits
+
I think you're scared of being basic
+
That's ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic
+
It's not funny, it's so funny
+
'Cause you're basic
+
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
+
Nothingness won't change it
+
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
+
It's not funny, but it's so funny
+
I don't want your money, I don't care for fame
+
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
+
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
+
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
+
It sent me reeling, still not the same
+
It's like my capacity to love and give has changed
+
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
+
The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend
+
How basic (Sell me on it)
+
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
+
That's basic (Haha)
+
It's not funny, it's so funny
+
That's just basic being basic (Basically)
+
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
+
I guess I'll take it
+
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
+
Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
+
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
+
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
+
It's a flash photograph
+
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
+
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
+
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
+
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
+
If that's funny, I'm not funny
+
