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

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

From shelter to shelter[00:00:13]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Never left my hometown[00:00:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

We never had much[00:00:48]

But we had us[00:00:49]

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

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

Ayyyyy ayyyyy I[00:01:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But the other half[00:01:29]

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

'Cause apparently[00:01:31]

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

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

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

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

Tryna save ships[00:01:41]

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

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

Into a spaceship[00:01:48]

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

Ayyyyyy ayyyyy I[00:01:53]

Oh[00:01:59]

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

Ayyyyyy ayyyyy I[00:02:04]

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

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

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

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

But embracing the mentality[00:02:21]

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

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

Come home daddy[00:02:28]

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

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

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

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

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

Come home[00:02:41]

Ahhhhhyyyyyy ohh[00:03:01]

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

Ayyyyy ayyyyyy I[00:03:08]

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

Ayyyyy ayyyyy I[00:03:18]

From the basement[00:03:26]

To the ceiling[00:03:28]

Going back home[00:03:30]

To replace this feeling[00:03:32]

From the basement[00:03:36]

To the ceiling[00:03:39]

Going back home[00:03:41]

To replace this feeling[00:03:43]
