BLÜ GÜMBO! - YOÜNG GENIÜS! (feat. Faris Rahman) Lyrics

It's the realest
Okay
I'm terrible at basketball
'Cause when I pick up the ball
I'll never drop it like I'm travelling
Rappers dribble on the mic while I shoot for my goals
Unsympathetic
I ain't come to play, like I got rid of my console, yo

I got idols spanning from
T, to Pink Floyd, to old Ye, to Stevie
I wonder if I'll ever reach that level of genius
Project the visions in my mind
I'm racing parallel to Time
I ain't got much of it
But I promise to keep it real inside my rhymes
I'll keep it 10 times a dime

I don't self medicate, or give into the green, I got my own personal tastes, it just ain't my thing
I deal with my issues
Like I was meant to
And I use this music as a crutch for my pain that stings
I refuse to use a blunt 'cause it'll make my creativity go blunt and then I won't have no more paper rolling in

I'm not the illest lyricist
But I'm definitely the realest
Of the younger generation
I'm the youngest genius
And I'm coming for all your favourites
Doing what I love until I die
So passionate I could cry for this shit
I allegedly
Have no grip on reality
But in actuality it's that
If the music is futile
Then I don't wanna be alive
Get up early every morning to work a shitty nine to five
I just wanna make my music, then be on my way
To greatness
To everything that I love
You should know I won't
Fold though, 'cause
I'll always have a creative spark
Inside my mind
Inside my heart
Why you tryna
Stop me, hoe?
I ain't even start

But I'll show you
What I can be
Just you wait and see
That ambitionful kid that you rejected
Becomes the next Tyler
Then, creates an album that's timeless
Then, make so many notes that it might topple if you towered it
Win some awards and thank the homies
And my influences
Thank my mum and them
Find me a gem
Fall in love
Make up for what my father never gave me
It's gonna take alot of spirit draining to take me, yo

It's strange to go and think
That I'm not mentally in sync
With all the people around me
To give a f*ck about thier feelings
Or emotions
I'm apathetic, though
I'm not a pathetic person
I'm actually quite remarkable
'Cause in a world where I feel like everyone gives a shit
It's good to know that I can live with being indifferent
I don't care about you, not even a little bit
Unless you impacted me in a way that made me not wanna quit

I'm not the illest lyricist
But I'm definitely the realest
Of the younger generation
I am the youngest genius
I'm coming for all your favourites
Doing what I love until I die
So passionate I could cry for this shit
It's do or die for this shit
Done extra time for this shit
Laying rhymes for this shit
Put all my lines, breath and spit
Into this
I had no production skills or bars but I had drive
And now I'm here laying out my life on this beat
Music made me feel complete
Now it's set in stone, let it solidify like concrete
I got expectations to meet
Can't just sit in the backseat
Waiting for my time in the limelight
When I gotta go and get this feat
When I do
I'll stand right on it
Mel McDaniel
With energy you can't handle
Energy I need to channel
Run despite the twist of an ankle
Put my pic upon that mantle

Damn

(Applause)
