Jarren Benton - My Grandma's Basement Lyrics






[Verse 1]
My grandmas basement
Felt like there was no escaping
Some days felt suicidal
I was scared I would never make it
I got problems nigga, I got issues bitch
I don't want to live no more
Im'ma let this pistol spit
Give me a therapist
That know magic tricks
Prescribe me something, nigga change my life
I need happiness, sunshine
Darkness that's all I see
I drank away my pain and popped a few pills
I can't wait to fall
Asleep
Damn I think death is calling me
Wake up and I'm still here
Like fuck I'm too scared to die
These pills and this vodka making me feel weird
I don't hang around like I used to
Paranoid that Im'a lose her
I'm scared of what my bitch think
I know any day I might lose her
Too unstable to raise a kid
What the fuck holy shit!
I just came to this realization
Its been nine months I just noticed it
This must be a nightmare
Pinch myself, somebody awake him
I open my eyes and I wake
And I'm still right here in my grandmas basement
Noooo!

[Hook]
My gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement
My gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement
Some days I felt so scared I wouldn't make it
Some days I felt so scared I wouldn't make it
Yeah outta' my gran'ma basement, yeah nigga my gran'ma basement

[Verse 2]
At night I can't go to sleep
I feel like someone's stabbing me
Inside of my fucking heart
Just like clock work this pain grows gradually
Actually I still have a little bit of hope
Maneuvering the anguish and shit I wrote
I ain't got patience the way I'm dope
Give a nigga one shot they like, no!
Now its back to my grandmas basement
With all this anger and this frustration
Stress can't be complacent
There he go again getting wasted
Pacing around his room so anxious
Wish I had a space ship
'bout to go ape-shit
How much more can a nigga like me take it
Before a mother fucker go and cave in ahhh!
Fuck this rap shit, it ain't happening quick enough
My homies say I shouldn't give it up
But honestly I don't give a fuck
My girl bitching 'bout cash nigga
I'm strapped down to my last nigga
My baby hungry and need new clothes
And I swear they grow so fast nigga
These nine to fives don't pay enough
I'm about to hit the bank and go spray it up
I've got to get the fuck out this basement
These dreams and hopes ain't waiting up
This must be a nightmare
Pinch myself, somebody awake him
I open my eyes and I wake
And I'm still right here in my grandmas basement
Noooo!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I'm on the edge, fucked up in the head
I don't know who I am no mo'
I lost faith in religion
God please give me just one anticdote
I plan to blow
But I panic so much these days I can't see straight
We can't relate
Cause I'm losing it and out of my rocker
Don't know what to do with it
This music ain't lucrative
Papa keep talkin that go back to school
Bitch you sounding so ludicrous
Stuck on that stupid shit
I should be thankful while laying in the basement
Instead of the pavement
My brain is just aching
My city they sleeping
They hating
But fuck 'em I eat 'em
I'm packing my shit up this evening
I can't turn back
Fuck that
Shit, damn it I'm leaving
Got to get out of here find my way
My sanity's slipping
Im'ma go crazy
Got to make moves
What's it goin' take me
I'm stuck on my own
No one saves me
So what you gonna do when there's no where to go
And the world seems cold
And the pain keep aching
You finally made it
It's your worst nightmare when you lose
And you got to go back to the basement
Noooo!

[Hook]

  1. S.... Q....

    Shoulda been on Black Ops 2 lmao so fireeeeeee☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄

  2. b.... m....

    Live fast, die young in the jungle
    How the fuck you still standing?
    When the ground beneath you crumbles
    That's how they want you
    You can make it if you want to
    Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    Don't let me die

    [Verse 1:]
    High school drop out, I was so young
    Just so I could rap, damn I was so dumb
    Met a coke head older bitch, I was so sprung
    Popped pills, then put a lot of dope in our lungs
    Damn, didn't mean to disappoint my mom
    Hit a couple licks, then throw away the gun
    Never doing time in the state, now we all fucked up
    Damn, should've been on my way to prom
    Life of a young black teen
    Not my kids where the fucking vaccine
    Streets turn some niggas to a crack fiend
    Had dreams you would hit the line, like rapp-ing
    All my niggas so soft in heart
    I was in the basement, trynna' practice my art
    Life is a beach with a ocean, with sharks
    Don't let 'em smell blood, they'll tear you apart
    Worst fear: I would turn to be nothin'
    Least in my kids eyes I would mean somethin'
    Paranoid like a motherfucker seen somethin''
    That a scared nigga straight, motherfucker I ain't frontin'
    Yes I'm king, young black teen
    Throwed off from the bullshit that I've seen
    Wait for my nightmare, I live my dreams
    Still here bitch, ready for whatever life brings Live fast, die young in the jungle
    How the fuck you still standing?
    Gonna crumble if you tumble
    That's how they want you
    You can make it if you want to
    Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    Don't let me die

    [Verse 2:]
    Sorry y'all, but I was off that night
    High as hell, I could've lost my life
    What the fuck am I smoking?
    What you put in that pipe?
    That's PCP nah nigga that ain't right
    Confronted my fears right by the moonlight
    I was so geeked couldn't even move right
    I was so scared, felt God that night
    Bless you and me, ACHOO, Gesundheit
    Amazed how a nigga made it
    Without land on the pavement, and locked in cages
    We all go through phases
    And roam through hell and hopes someone saves us
    Came up from the east, lex, and gold teeth
    Chevy's, old school Capri's, running from the police
    Some didn't make it like Cochise
    My homeboy died over old beef
    Yeah, not Salmonella
    Rolled around that night looking for the killer
    Came back home, boy get it together
    What the fuck am I doin', boy chase somethin' better
    Try a whole new angle
    Levitate through the bullshit, Chris Angel
    Must be touched by angels
    Bro got a loose foot, gripping this angle
    Life in the jungle Live fast, die young in the jungle
    How the fuck you still standing?
    Gonna crumble if you tumble
    That's how they want you
    You can make it if you want to
    Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    It's life in the jungle
    Aye, aye, aye
    Don't let me die

    [Verse 3:]
    Life in the jungle, we scrambling just to make it
    Dr. Conrad Murray niggas losin' they patients
    Can't find a decent job with good wages he's on probation
    Baby momma bitchin' 'bout paper, fuck he can't take it
    Stress is kickin' in, and this pain and his heart is achin'
    Don't wanna fuckin' lose it, his faith is slowing decayin'
    Momma constantly prayin', hope the angels can save him
    Poppa was never there, so these fuckin' animals raise him
    No decent role models, these dope boys they craze him
    Cops patrol the block with no empathy, they just gauge him
    Same old cycle, we been through this shit for ages
    We question the presence of God, shit is just never changin'
    In the jungle

    ddi you just say "nom"??? are you fucking retarded??? it's "Nam" which is short for Vietnam.

  41. w.... ....

    Dre does rap, kato does not

  42. S.... M....

    sure dre is a legend and sure he signed eminem and kendrick lamar, but come on he rarely writes his own music and his lyrics are hardly unique. However I could say different about his production.

  43. S.... ....

  56. D.... ....

    shits gonna get real on the next album

  57. q.... k....

    This songs so good

  58. R.... M....

    Kato is a bad ass producer, and jarren just crosses the boundaries of insanity

  59. p.... ....

    Tight :)

  60. c.... ....

    get em kato......

  61. H.... S....

    modern day talib kweli.. I hate comparing artists and all, but it's so true lol

  62. h.... l....

    they are all very good artist, but that statement proves you dont know much about hiphop and not worthy of those thumbs up.

  63. D.... M....

    i'd have sex with her

  64. k.... p....

    he's a sellout cuz he matured? shut up he's not gonna rap about the shit he did when he was younger. he's pushing 40

  65. A.... ....

    when does it drop?

  66. B.... K....

    just wanted people to get it.

  67. T.... P....

    just because he has a new album coming doesnt change the fact hes a sell out

  68. P.... x....

    Dude you are replying to everybody's shit on here man nobody gives a shit that you don't like Eminem god damn we get it

  69. B.... K....

    So that isn't a sell out cause he has a new album, fuck off, you know nothing about rap. Real rap fans don't listen to eminem's new shit.

  70. N.... W....

    jarrens grandma is fuckin scary

  71. T.... P....

    Just ordered my Grandma's Basement! now thats money well spent! lol first CD worth going out and buying in a long long time!

  72. R.... B....

  73. J.... S....

    *sighs*

  74. B.... K....

    I'm white, eminem is shit.

  79. K.... n....

    Second part reminds me of Kevin Gates and Eminem.

  80. Z.... F....

    Very well put together album. Really enjoyed this masterpiece and, soon to be classic album by Jarren Benton and the Funk Volume crew. Much appreciated for good ear vibes! ^_^

  81. M.... J....

    My exact words when i heard this

  82. m.... ....

    real shit

  83. T.... ....

    Fact. King Benton

  84. C.... A....

    Jarren just keeps getting better

  85. T.... ....

    I like this

  86. c.... ....

    Listening to this when your high is super awsome

  87. R.... M....

    true statement. But yelawolf and will power is pretty good as well

  88. D.... P....

    holy fuck!!! so sick

  89. x.... B....

    All I got to say is.

  90. s.... ....

    couldnt have said it better wow....

  91. H.... M....

    pbr and reefer is dope as shit

  92. S.... A....

    or hopsin and hopsin

  93. J.... V....

    I think hes gonna make video for this since it has the most views out of all the other songs (Except for We On and Go Off) But theres already videos for those. So next video if there is one is probably this or PBR

  94. y.... ....

    Literally every single song the top comment is "Best song on the album"
