Lyrics
Get food, barely eat
– Jwenn manje, apèn manje
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
– Chak mòde jis kenbe m kole nan chèz mwen an
I worried, even cried
– Mwen te enkyete, menm kriye
How’d it feel to take the light from my life?
– Ki jan li te santi pou pran limyè a nan lavi mwen?
Bad habit, even worse
– Move abitid, menm vin pi mal
Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
– Senkant-senkant, mwen se yon souse pou gade
Asked for it, here it is
– Mande pou li, isit la li se
A quick example ’cause you wanted the hits
– Yon egzanp rapid paske ou te vle frape yo
I think you’re scared of being basic
– Mwen panse ke ou pè pou yo te debaz
That’s ironic ’cause it’s reading like you’re even more basic
– Sa se ironik paske li se lekti tankou ou se menm plis debaz
It’s not funny, it’s so funny
– Li pa komik, li tèlman komik
‘Cause you’re basic
– Paske ou se debaz
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
– Jis gade cho ak kenbe monotone ak modere
Nothingness won’t change it
– Pa gen anyen ki pa pral chanje li
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
– (Bon chans ak sa, bon chans ak sa?)
It’s not funny, but it’s so funny
– Li pa komik, men li tèlman komik
I don’t want your money, I don’t care for fame
– Mwen pa vle lajan ou, mwen pa pran swen pou t ‘ ap nonmen non
I don’t wanna live a life where that’s my big exchange
– Mwen pa vle viv yon lavi kote sa se gwo echanj mwen
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
– Mwen vle plezi senp, zanmi ki gen do m
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
– Tout moun gen sekrè, men se pa tout moun ki ka twonpe yon nonm tankou sa
It sent me reeling, still not the same
– Li te fè m santi m mal, men li pa t fè menm bagay la
It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
– Se tankou kapasite m pou m renmen ak bay chanje
I guess I’ll thank you and spite your name again
– Mwen devine mwen pral di ou mèsi ak malgre non ou ankò
The past’s the past, and I’ll outlast the hate to find real love that’s not pretend
– Pase a se pase a, e mwen pral surpasser rayi a jwenn renmen reyèl ki pa pretann
How basic (Sell me on it)
– Ki jan debaz (Vann m ‘ sou li)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
– Nimewo melanje, lonje dwèt, abandone chat nan diferan apps
That’s basic (Haha)
– Sa se debaz (Haha)
It’s not funny, it’s so funny
– Li pa komik, li tèlman komik
That’s just basic being basic (Basically)
– Sa se jis debaz ke yo te debaz (Fondamantalman)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
– Ou te di li te sanble ak yon ti fi, kidonk ou renmen ti fi
I guess I’ll take it
– Mwen devine mwen pral pran li
Yeah, that’s funny, you’re so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
– Yeah, sa komik, ou se konsa komik (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
– Chanje kò ou, chanje figi ou, boukle cheve ou lè sa a, fè li dwat
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
– Pran yon foto plak ou, Tarantino movie taste
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley’s back in Vogue
– Rah-rah, cheugy-fobi, vera Bradley tounen nan Mòd
It’s a flash photograph
– Li se yon foto flash
What an empty epitaph that is (That’s basic)
– Ki sa ki yon epitaf vid ki se (sa a se debaz)
What an empty epitaph that is (That’s basic)
– Ki sa ki yon epitaf vid ki se (sa a se debaz)
What an empty epitaph (That’s just basic being basic)
– Ki sa ki yon epitaf vid (sa a se jis debaz yo te debaz)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
– Yeah, mwen sere senk ta ka jwenn yon ri kòm se
If that’s funny, I’m not funny
– Si sa komik, mwen pa komik
