Al.Infinite - Basement Rich Lyrics

All I really know is hustle
Run the route, never fumble
Built it from the basement, fortified so it could never crumble
Mindset over dumb shit, switch the pieces in my circumference
It's so funny the biggest hate, comes from those we use to run with

Listen, I got plans to blow
Last couple of weeks, everything had me on the low
All my life I hustled, feels like a waste of sacrifice
Wanting to believe in people, who ain't really my f*cking type
Sometimes blood ain't shit
Sometimes the realest ones, ain't your kin, keep your eyes open
Niggas will do anything to be affiliated and feel chosen
Shelf loyalty for popularity, shit on the ones closest
Meanwhile they say the meek will inherit the earth
So why so many f*ck boys running away with the worth
The bible is like scrabble, all the words, all the vowels
But the narratives don't ever seem to play out in the actual
The only thing I know is hustle, strategize and flex my muscles
I ain't talking about biceps, I'm talking about my mindset
Since I changed my perspective, my account never went negative
Close my eyes, point at the globe, then head in that direction
Basement Rich

I write cause I know tomorrow's not promised
Why let my pen game die, while you niggas rapping the nonsense
These radio niggas and that payola, it turn em blind quick
These same niggas sat with Big and Pac, knowing they wouldn't cosign this madness
See I don't need a dime off this rap shit,
The write offs alone got me sitting good in my bracket
Multiple streams of Income, my music is the third one
Touring the whole world with no album
Rapping wouldn't change the outcome
At the ground level of a movement
You gotta do this shit without em
And dub em, when the streams start to flow like a fountain
I climb out of valleys and jump over mountains
Manage not to f*ck up the count
Go to the bank and withdraw any amount
Pay you for a feature so I could eat off of what your about
Rather build it myself, design the play, and run my own route
What these niggas do today to gain clout
Is something that a real nigga wouldn't do for no amount
Basement Rich
