Rei - Basics

Verse 1

Tell me is it just a bad thing oh
If I only want a bad thing oh
Whose confidence is baffling oh
Got my consonants all matching oh

Really I'm just tryna get ahead
Wait no I'm tryna get some head
Wait no get inside your head
Wait no get inside your bed
If ya say so we'll go all night instead
They know We kill the drama dead
Forgetting all of what mama said
Cuz I

Pre Chorus

I know you no
I know you no
I know you no
I know you no basic chick
I know you no
I know you no
I know you know the basics chick
So let's skip the basics quick

Chorus

I know you no
I know you no basic chick
I know you no
I know you no
So let's skip the basics quick
I know you no
I know you no
I know you no basic chick
I know you no
I know you no
I know you know the basics chick
So let's skip the basics quick

Verse 2

I can tell you put the time in
The way our body body body's move in time in
So let me slide in
Met nobody body body do it like this
I've from the bottom bottom bottom of the map girl you couldn't find it if you tried it
But your bottom bottom bottom’s got me vibing

Call me Adams cuz I'm bout to bring the thunder
Here's another one from way down under
No need to amend it cuz I meant it
With you I see the truth while they just stretch it
All on IG misrepresenting but you don't play em like that no no

Chorus

Bridge

From the bottom of the map
I need you often come relax
From the bottom of map
I need you, yes I need you

Swear these other girls all faceless
Facing up to all these face lifts
Them reality TV wasted
How they ever gonna tell us how to love in life
When they can’t even get the basics

Chorus

Outro (#1Hana)
Yeah that’s dope
Yeah I really like that
It’s kind of like a banger but kind of also one for the girls
Uhh kind of a little bit...
