The Basics - A cultural subordination
Show Notes

In a Very Special Bonus Episode... 

Not gonna lie, I’m a basic guy
When I get a latte, It’s pumpkin spice
You can try to judge me, I won’t live a lie
Yes I’m a yuppie, I work 9 to 5

Made this song on my Mac Book Pro
Shop on amazon with my new iPhone
Watch NBA on my Apple TV
Wake up every day with an average physique

Face it. I’m basic
I claim it. Embrace it

Haters gonna hate it, they can keep it real
I prefer to fake it and that’s the deal
Used to give a shit, now I don’t give a fuck
If that ain’t legit, then I’m shit out of luck

Got no game and I get no play
Shop at the gap, wear slacks all day
Watch what I say, and I stay in my lane
Don’t want any trouble, I won’t complain

Face it. It’s basic
That’s how I play it

Careful what you say if you wanna stay A-list
Join every cause or they’ll call you a racist
Cancel culture won, this is what replaced it
Why make art, when the world wants hatred

If you talk shit, I’ll change the subject
Avoid conflict cuz I gotta say fuck it
Now I gotta end it, Evan T on blast
Someone got offended, getting shut down fast

Face it. Stay basic
Complacent is safest
