《Basement》歌词

[00:00:00] Basement (地下室) - Bastille (巴士底乐队)/F. Strokes/F-U-G-Z

[00:00:10] Greyhound Megabus clothes in a plastic bag

[00:00:13] From shelter to shelter

[00:00:14] Six kids with no dad

[00:00:16] She left the city for a better life

[00:00:18] Ran to a small town where the population was mostly white

[00:00:21] Racial undertones trying to get back home

[00:00:24] With barely enough to keep shirts on my backbone

[00:00:27] Now ain't this real life

[00:00:28] Numb to what pain feel like

[00:00:29] Demons knocking like the sound of steel pipes

[00:00:31] Same lady who gave birth

[00:00:33] Never left my hometown

[00:00:35] But she the reason I travelled the earth

[00:00:37] Locked the door my uncle's going through her purse

[00:00:40] Wake your brother up they're giving free meals at church

[00:00:42] And I can't justify

[00:00:44] How my day could black your eye

[00:00:46] Now my sister can't trust a guy

[00:00:48] We never had much

[00:00:49] But we had us

[00:00:50] And my brother found home in a pair of handcuffs

[00:00:55] How am I gonna get myself back home

[00:01:00] Ayyyyy ayyyyy I

[00:01:06] The sound of bullets bounce as I write raps in the kitchen

[00:01:09] Daddy in a cell trying to hold his ambition

[00:01:11] Witness the transition from a boy to a martyr

[00:01:14] Sell d**e but go to school to be a barber

[00:01:17] The ghetto's like a prison

[00:01:18] You locked but you still living

[00:01:20] Barely breathing up until if you're leaving

[00:01:23] But home is where the hate is

[00:01:24] And my cousin ain't thirty yet

[00:01:26] But she's got eight kids

[00:01:28] Half look up to me

[00:01:29] But the other half

[00:01:30] Rarely f**k with me

[00:01:31] 'Cause apparently

[00:01:32] They think I see myself as better

[00:01:34] I see my songs as simply therapy

[00:01:36] Now let's go back to that whole Greyhound bus bit

[00:01:38] Mama worked there for old white folks wiping up sh*t

[00:01:41] Tryna save ships

[00:01:43] Now close your eyes and envision

[00:01:45] How she turned a bus ride

[00:01:48] Into a spaceship

[00:01:49] How am I gonna get myself back home

[00:01:53] Ayyyyyy ayyyyy I

[00:01:59] Oh

[00:02:00] How am I gonna get myself back home

[00:02:04] Ayyyyyy ayyyyy I

[00:02:11] My home is comprised of many elements

[00:02:13] Grandaddy was a junkie and

[00:02:15] Found home in a needle filled with daily medicine

[00:02:18] Home is far less based on physicality

[00:02:21] But embracing the mentality

[00:02:23] That you can turn even the harshest

[00:02:24] Conditions into an optimistic galaxy

[00:02:28] Come home daddy

[00:02:29] It's okay now

[00:02:31] All the tears are dried up mama's in a better place now

[00:02:35] No guns unless they're video games

[00:02:37] And if you don't deside

[00:02:38] To sex rock and roll and c*****e

[00:02:41] Come home

[00:03:01] Ahhhhhyyyyyy ohh

[00:03:04] How am I gonna get myself back home

[00:03:08] Ayyyyy ayyyyyy I

[00:03:14] How am I gonna get myself back home

[00:03:18] Ayyyyy ayyyyy I

[00:03:26] From the basement

[00:03:28] To the ceiling

[00:03:30] Going back home

[00:03:32] To replace this feeling

[00:03:36] From the basement

[00:03:39] To the ceiling

[00:03:41] Going back home

[00:03:43] To replace this feeling
