Something, something, something, man, we don't have a problem

The people brought me something, and they told me to solve 'em

I've been on to somethin', get the fuck out my way, man

I've been on to somethin', now there's something to say, man

Something, something, something, man, we don't have a problem

The people brought me something, and they told me to solve 'em

I've been on to somethin', get the fuck out my way, man

I've been on to somethin', now there's something to say, man

Love me like your doja, ride me like your lover

Touch me 'round my wasteland, I've been out the basement

Love me like your doja, ride me like your lover

Touch me 'round my wasteland, I've been out the basement

Yeah, I said I've been out the basement

I've been, I've been, I've been out the basement

Uh, uh, I've been out the basement

Something, something, something, man, we don't have a problem

The people brought me something, and they told me to solve 'em

I've been on to somethin', now there's something to say, man

Love me like your doja, ride me like your lover

Touch me 'round my wasteland, I've been out the basement

Love me like your doja, ride me like your lover

Touch me 'round my wasteland, I've been out the basement
