BASIC

Tired of explaining what showing up means

I do it myself so don't sell me your dreams

Yeah

I ask for nothing I don't give myself

Hm

So don't tell me shit about: I just can't

You ask me to sit my bum on the plane

And book the plain ticket and the train

Nah my boy not anymore with me

I've done that plenty Cape Town - Germany

You can't even open the door for me?

I do that for my bestie effortlessly

Consideration and accountability

I know strange words for some of thee

I'd rather stay alone in my peace

Than teach a grown ass man basic needs

We're done with games done with the chase

Ten cats in a castle sounds safe to me babe

We give and give till there's nothing left

Our life force drained completely spent

So we turn inward reclaim our wealth

Fall in love deeper with ourself

If you think women break on their own

You're wrong we thrive when we're alone

Funny how the numbers have shown

Women live longer when they stand on their own

I'd rather stay alone in my peace, mh

Than teach a grown ass man basic needs, oh

We're done with games done with the chase

Ten cats in a castle sounds safe to me babe

And trust me I'm not saying it's all men

Though many men say it's all of them

Cause they know how y'all work how it plays out

They've watched it unfold day in day out

And if this truth makes you feel attacked

It's inner work that you clearly lack

A real man won't take this as shade

He's rooted in self unafraid

I'd rather stay alone in my peace

Oh

Than teach a grown ass man basic needs

Oh-Oh

We're done with games done with the chase

Ten cats in a castle sounds safe to me babe

Oh

To my beautiful divine girls out there

Never accept bare minimum care

You're the closest portal to god on this earth
