Genesis (feat. Robert Ivory) Video (MV)

This where it all happens
Innocence
Remember, we was little kids
Back when summertime called for not giving a shit
Now we done jumped the fence
Alcohol fallin' out my ribs, and I got less to give
More and more, everyday we live
Findin' newer ways to sin
Searching lesser for a cleanse
Brains straddled on a Benz, gettin' bitches in dm's, that's yo
Carpe diem
I'm tryna be above a GM
Higher than mountains in my town, so you could hardly see us
Raised up from knockin' speakers, playin' keys, and coppin' reefer
Grandma was in the kitchen cookin', she a proper leader
Before Stick, lived a soul who was a non-believer
Searchin' for keepers on the road, till he caught the fever
Led him to battle his nemesis, a mirror
Vision wasn't the greatest, he often thought to consider which road would have a pot of gold, waitin' for beginners
Till he found out to get his own involved bein' a winner
Ain't a night goes by, I don't remember where I used to be
(Where I used to be)
You can't let the time slip by, or you'll be fifty by the end of the week
(Time flies)
Right from the jump get right with the things that make you feel unique
This be the start
Genesis of it all, but we gon' end with a streak
(Yea this where it all started, listen close)
When I was born
The world was war torn
9/11 sent too many innocent people to heaven
My mother's depression made my father crazy, grip his weapon
Sent to battle the demons, who couldn't reason overstepping borders
And when he flew back his brain was not in order
Started sortin' through his drawers to find some pills, he had no more
Now we poor
Now we forced to live a life divorced
Sisters and brothers separated 'cause of drugs and gore
I'm gonna change up the system and leave a message won't miss 'em
I'm pessimistic kissin' bitches cause of lessons I've listened
Ain't a night goes by I don't remember where I used to be
Can't let the time slip by or you'll be fifty by the end of the week
Yeah I listened my mission was stunted by parental supervision
My intuition kicks in when I'm listin' sentimental visions
I'm spittin' writtens, this ain't a freestyle
It come from deep inside my heart, it was so dark
I found a spark it lit a part, done departed from scars that started on larger barges on carseats in Chargers
But meanwhile, I ain't catchin' charges
I'm leadin' the bigger armies and teachin' the kids Barney
'Cause the television system is switchin our mental mission
Sisters hope your listenin', 'cause when you have your children, you gotta hold them close, and always lead them towards their goals
Most importantly the road you chose will give them gold
Postin' social media will seed ya with some ghosts
Roastin' up the weed is just another way to cope
Stop the drugs before you end up being why I wrote this whole verse
It gave me road burn
Ain't a night goes by I don't remember where I used to be
(Where I used to be)
You can't let the time slip by, or you'll be fifty by the end of the week
(Time flies)
Right from the jump get right with the things that make you feel unique
This be the start
Genesis of it all, but we gon' end with a streak
The past left me with a lot to learn from
Lookin' back I see pops was hurtin'
He in battle with his own alignment, but he kept it level and it taught me purpose
Instrumentals so I could surface my full potential, and find my circuit
I was writin' verses in the hallways of my school before we even had service
Took jumpshots on a slab surface
Good kid
Crack city
Genesis
Born and raised to be in the flesh
Lock me up with my penmanship, and I'll do the rest
Ain't a break no more, it's break a sweat
I'm a case closer
Way too broke for them Range Rovers
Way too dope to not make a change of what I'm crazy over, so we change that motor
Fix up my motives to chain together some goals to get closure
Closer to freedom, but somehow I feel I'm under an owner
Off kilter, but I'm a shocker no matter the voltage
I got all the tools to make a difference just by listin' all the sentences that roll up off the tongue, it's like I'm meant for this
This just the Genesis
Wait till we finish this
Promise to be a better player by the end of this
