Basique [English translation]

[Intro]

Okay, I'm gonna be releasing a new album

But first, we gotta go back to basics

I'm gonna make a simple video where I'm gonna say simple things

'Cause you're too fucking dumb

Simple, basic

[Verse 1]

The most intelligent people aren't always the most well-spoken (Simple)

Politicians have to lie or you'd never vote for them (Basic)

If you keep saying you don't have a drinking problem, it's 'cause you do (Simple)

Don't have a kid with people you don't know (Basic)

The guys in the Front National look like the bad guys in the movies (Simple)

There's a fine line between being principled and being fucking stupid (Basic)

Hugo Boss dressed the Nazis, style has its importance (Simple)

Dolphins are rapists, yeah, looks can be deceiving (Basic)

[Chorus]

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

You don't got the basics, you don't got the basics

You don't got the basics, you don't got the basics

[Verse 2]

If it's on the internet, it could be true, it could be false (Simple)

Illuminati or not, what's the difference? You're still fucked (Basic)

In a foreign place, you're the foreigner, there's no use being racist (Simple)

The wildest people are often saddest people (Basic)

100 people own half the world's wealth (Simple)

You'll always be one or two numbers off from hitting the jackpot (Basic)

If you're often alone with your problems, it's often' 'cause the problem is you (Simple)

Every generation blames the next and says they know not what they do (Cliché)

[Chorus]

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

You don't got the basics

You don't got the basics

You don't got the basics

You don't got the basics

Basic, simple, you don't got the basics

Basic, simple, you don't got the basics

Basic, simple, you don't got the basics

Basic, simple, you don't got the basics

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, basic

Basic, simple, simple, you don't got the basics
