[Intro]
Yeah
They here?
(They here?)
Ayy
Lock in
[Verse 1]
I was mindin’ my biz, eatin’ cereal late
When a light hit the crib like a broke VFX
Little green dude said, “Take me to your best”
I said, “First of all, shoes off, this a no-shoe nest”
He look around, see the rent, said, “This your rate?”
I said, “Why you think I’m manifestin’ every day?”
He said, “Back on my planet, we print what we need”
I said, “Back on this planet, we print fake feeds”
UFO parked crooked in my neighbor’s spot
Left a note on the dash, “We’ll be back, please watch”
He said, “Teach me what love is, we don’t got that”
I said, “Scroll for an hour, feel empty, then backtrack”
[Chorus - Male Lead]
Aliens comin’, we
Back to the basics, back to the basement
Phones on silent, hearts on LASIK
Seein’ through the fake, yeah, back to the basics
Spaceship hummin’, we
Laugh while we face it, cry while we chase it
Whole world runnin’, we just pace it
Under all the memes, yeah, back to the basics (woo)
[Chorus - Female Lead]
Aliens comin’, I’m
Back to the basics, back to my patience
Turned off the noise, found my cadence
Deep talk vibes in a Dollar Tree blanket
Spaceship bumpin’, I
Dance while I say it, joke while I pray it
Whole sky glowin’, I just taste it
Under all the jokes, I’m back to the basics (yeah)
[Verse 2]
She said, “Why they so pressed over little blue apps?
Why they flex fake peace, then attack in the chat?”
Alien blinked twice, asked, “That your overlord?”
I said, “Nah, that’s a bird logo we can’t afford”
He tried slang out, said, “On god, no cap”
Voice like Siri tryna freestyle rap
Asked, “What’s drip?” so I showed him my sink
He said, “Y’all worship metal and call that bling?”
We took ‘em to the club, DJ hit that drop
Alien dabbed once, then the whole room stopped
He said, “On my world, we just vibe in the dark”
I said, “Here we pay cover just to stand and look hard”
[Bridge]
They don’t care ‘bout your brand, just your heartbeat
They don’t check your views, just your heartbeat
He said, “All your gods live in small screens”
I said, “All your tech live in tall trees” (woah)
[Chorus - Male Lead]
Aliens comin’, we
Back to the basics, back to the basement
Phones on silent, hearts on LASIK
Seein’ through the fake, yeah, back to the basics
Spaceship hummin’, we
Laugh while we face it, cry while we chase it
Whole world runnin’, we just pace it
Under all the memes, yeah, back to the basics
[Chorus - Female Lead]
Aliens comin’, I’m
Back to the basics, back to my patience
Turned off the noise, found my cadence
Deep talk vibes in a Dollar Tree blanket
Spaceship bumpin’, I
Dance while I say it, joke while I pray it
Whole sky glowin’, I just taste it
Under all the jokes, I’m back to the basics (back, back)
[Outro]
He said, “Take me to your leader”
I said, “Group chat, take me to the heater”
If they judge me, beam me up quick
‘Cause this whole planet on that clown time trip (skrrt)
