lyrics

[Verse 1 - VAPOR]
Break it down to the most soluble essence //
You get the Basics bringing valuable lessons //
To face the faceless problems we're faced with//
Separation got us caught in the matrix//
and Complacence is what we lock the gate with //
So I use my lasik clear sight to pierce right //
Through near sight// Close my eyes and see with //
Ear sight, hear fear puts up a fierce fight //
So via page I consult a sage from years past //
Told me that we're locked in a cage with tear gas //
but Fear has no basis, like a desert oasis //
Now I'm open as space is //
Releasin graspin, habitual reactions //
Detachment - that's true satisfaction //
Freedom is great and I can taste it //
Skies were black but now it's back to the basics //


[CHORUS]
BASIC, We're faceless, weightless
Floating, through stars and the ages
Like angels or spaceships
Birthplaces, variations
Integration of the nations


[Verse 2 - MUKIWA]
So basically I'm a tasteful MC //
With rhymes that contant no MSG //
But still I please, lyrically in the high seas //
Of spirituality forget duality, monkeys never see //
No good or no evil, I am the //
Fine line inbetween, the artists easel //
Is what define an open mind from deceitful thoughts //
So mental holocaust is where it all starts //
Tranquil water runs deep, Noah's ark //
Form a mirror, slaughter, seen reflection //
Connection between perception and depression //
Intervention against the binge drinking, so purge //
Expressions, written, to rhythms interlinking //
With chord progressions, music is the metaphor //
Words change worlds like a meteor //
Leaves empty spaces, the essence, the basics //


[CHORUS]


[Verse 3 - MANOLO G]
Basic - B.A. SIC(k) with a C //
Keep it so chill the essence of the epitome //
I rock my own philosophy don't claim to be an Aristotle// Or a socrates its just me Manolo G //
Look at my life and I say what's next //
Rest, something I, never get //
Call me Crazy, bulletproof mind, nothing fades me //
I do it right, then ask what's left //
Step into distress, saw my enemy in a //
Hot pink dress using pain and strife like a knife //
But it doesn't matter, end up //
With the left side of ya brain splattered //
My soul is the pitcher and my mind is the batter //
Essence is the theme and my words are the latter //
Put it on a platter, for you, and you and you //
So what you gonna do?! //


[CHORUS]


[Verse - MUDDAZ]
Face the master, the opposite of Casper //
Bout to massacre a thousand rappers //
For fuckin with the vacilaraptor backwards assterds //
I'm faster than the paster to make ya girl kneel and //
Call me fa-tha, yes yes cut the chatter //
I'd rather splatter emcees against the wall like plaster//
I'm leaving Earth to Saturn to understand the pattern//
Of humans talking shit, when it really doesn't matter //
My brain is burstin the pain never worsen the urge //
To murder emcees like blood thirsting nerds //
Who's been cursed by a bigger person to rehearse //
Methods to kill them jerks //
Lets face it we're Basic the foundation just for //
Fun devastatin, erasin the toungs of the Tasteless // chasin the wack with bombs //
Strapped to the back like suicide patients //
