Akrobatik - Basementality lyrics

[Intro - Akrobatik - talking] Yo son, some, some wild sh** happened to me man Sense I'm tellin you man, this sh** was, it was bananas man You know I don't drink so I'm comin at you, you know what I'm sayin? Straight You know, straight up man Like, listen, it was just, yo a lady, it was wild, yo [Verse 1 - Akrobatik] I met this lovely at the bar who interrupted my thinkin (what's up love?) She offered me some flavor, I told her "I wasn't drinkin (naw, I don't really drink) I was only at the bar for the seclusion" She started to walk away sayin "pardon for the intrusion" I had to end the confusion Told her "wiggle back over here," she found that amusin (you think I'm funny) I thanked her for her generosity She asked me if I wanted to bounce, I said "possibly" (I don't know) I asked her "what the destination was?" She said she had a beach house, she rents to vacationers She had a drink and started runnin it down About our people and how we need to rebuild from the ground (true) Impressin me with insight, deep and profound Droppin gems so frequently, I asked her to "slow down" I asked her for her name, she said "my name is Truth That's what my momma named me, not a nickname from my youth (what?) So how's about that trip to my spot (what?, What?) We could build on the beach, network and what not" I was single at the time, so my spirit was free (true) So we hopped in her ride, it was a white M3 She asked me what I did, I told her that I'm an artist She told me that I chose the profession that's the hardest But if you use it right, imagine who you could reach?

And do it through my music with the basementality Basementality?? I needed the definition She said "that it's an underground approach, that takes repetition It's about stayin down to Earth and humble Give in to the evils and your whole world could crumble Keep comin back with more knowledge each year And hit the people with it, 'cause they need you to share" My eyes fixated, all I could do was stare We bounced to the shore, to catch some fresh air She whispered the sweetest words I ever heard in my ear Then I blinked and when I opened my eyes, she wasn't there It was the note at my feet, I picked it up and started readin It reminded me of tomorrow's recordin session in Sweden I got the illest news when I got back to town The bar where I met with Truth had burnt down (What?), what? (damn), damn [Outro - Scratches] "And, and when you walked away" "And, and, and when you walked away" "And, and, and when you walked away" "Treat it as a test, in jest, I swung and represents fell" "I tell 'em about the keys to wisdom and how to be gainin 'em" "I hate to see you go, to see you go, to see you go ..."
