Lyrics
How did you get so basic
Questioning how someone became so ordinary or conventional.
Maybe you always were
Suggesting that being basic might have been inherent or always present.
More cringe than north face
Comparing the level of discomfort or awkwardness to certain cultural references (North Face and popular coffee swirls).
And macchiato swirls
Referencing specific elements associated with mainstream culture (macchiato swirls).
How did you ever get me twisted
Reflecting on confusion about how a connection formed between two people from different backgrounds.
When we're from different worlds yeah
Highlighting the disparity in backgrounds or lifestyles between the speaker and the subject.
I'm way more bogart
Identifying with a classic or iconic persona (Bogart) in contrast to the subject.
You're the cash me outside girl
Comparing the subject to someone known for controversial behavior or attitude.
You want that nine to five
Describing the subject's desires for a traditional, stable lifestyle (nine-to-five job, two vacations a year) and educational aspirations.
Yeah you're living the life
-You want those two vacations
-A year how nice
-You want that four year program in debt for life
-I bet your mommas so proud of you
-You really dreamed it big
Sarcastically acknowledging the subject's achievements and suggesting parental approval.
Oh yeah you have it all
-I bet your mommas so proud
-Your mommas so proud
-You really dreamed it big
-Oh yeah it all paid off
-I bet your mommas so proud
Repeating the sarcasm about parental pride regarding the subject's choices and achievements.
Your mamas so proud
-How did you get so basic
Reiterating the theme of questioning the subject's conventional lifestyle and contrasting it with the speaker's preference for a different cultural or entertainment reference.
Maybe you always were
-More cringe than twilight movies
-Or 2010 gossip girl
-How did I ever get it twisted
-When it's so clear to see
-I'm way more cowboy bebop
-Jupiter jazz for me
-You want that nine to five
Repeated description of the subject's aspirations and anticipated parental approval, maintaining the ironic tone.
Yeah you're living the life
-You want those two vacations
-A year how nice
-You want that four year program in debt for life
-I bet your mommas so proud of you
-You really dreamed it big
Continuing the sarcastic acknowledgment of the subject's supposed success and parental satisfaction.
Oh yeah you have it all
-I bet your mommas so proud
-Your mommas so proud
-You really dreamed it big
-Oh yeah it all paid off
-I bet your mommas so proud
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the contrast between the subject's desires and the speaker's preferences, all in a sarcastic tone.
Your mommas so proud
-You want that nine to five
-Yeah you're living the life
-You want those two vacations
-A year how nice
-You want that four year program in debt for life
-I bet your mommas so proud of you
-You really dreamed it big
-Oh yeah you have it all
-I bet your mommas so proud
-Your mommas so proud
-You really dreamed it big
-Oh yeah it all paid off
-I bet your mommas so proud
-Your mommas so proud
