[feat. Diddy]
I'm about to take everybody back to the basics
I'm gonna... occur
Because a mother fucker put these rappers in the matrix
But there is beauty in the dark
Just put it into your mouth and the flow is mmm
Like that when you taste it
Com'on niggers like a disciple of death
You may think of poppin'...
I may be right for your neck
Your mother may as well call a funeral house
So she can write them a check
So how you feelin' me the trilogy
The horror is how to be good
So they'll be calling me Jason...
Ops I mean Jason More...
Niggers got to pay some more fees
Hard enough to put it with the... from another planet
I can live...
A comet hit the planet with a minimal...
Astronomer because I'm out in the Galaxy
Challenge me...
Follow you to a corridor at four in the morning
So I can horrify you...
My boys are sayin'...
So you know I got to give them all
Then I'm gonna be
Run around like a serial killer
... Fuck them all
Niggers are never gonna be next to this
I'm gonna roll...
I'm gonna blow up the city
Your place and throw up shit in your face
Like the...
[Chorus:]
Now let's take shit back to the basics
How we used to do shit
With the original sound
And still somehow come on with that new shit
Talk about the way... respect in the streets no more
Don't call with the heat no more
'Cause I'm really get up and eat no more
Nowadays niggers are acting like a love in the dime
Used to be some respect
But now they just kill by mistake
Because Benjamin Franklin is driving them nuts
... everybody around you 'cause that nigger may fuck
Don't need to be no killers in your family...
'Cause the nigger might touch you
System recession... hard in the streets
So a nigger comes hard on the beats
No order in the hood
I remember when niggers were given too
And they were happy to take problems...
Now they don't give a fuck how the... you know
... what you are
Now they only care if you got that
And if you love one of these... bitches
You're sitting on...
South side murderer
Is the west side killer
Up north...
What they release
Believe in you...
Fuck up anybody who's trying to do demos
So I'll carry a piece
But I don't wanna shut it
'Cause I already seen some niggers... in jail
Instead I had them on a cell phone
I be... brother well gone
Got to show a different way to give it
Instead of... full of hatred
You'll get smack in face with
Reality if we don't get back to the basics
[Chorus]

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
