This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
Honestly I never thought that it would come to this
Angels fallin' from the sky
Demons breakin' shit
These hearts beat for the music
But the words are irrelevant
Devil's got a price on my head and he's sellin' it
Who's buyin' it? I will I will
Now that I got it back
I feel, I fill it with
Memories of her and all the things I shoulda done right
And this weed gets me high enough to start fights with giants
And all these mother f*ckin' monsters
I'ma ghost yet somehow I'm always haunted
By the shadow of a future others say is just a dream
What if I see it in my eyes until I f*ckin' scream?
Die a thousand deaths just to make this my reality
Make believe bitches that operate on batteries
Hookin' up my heart to my crown now they're tellin' me
I will never fall unless it falls apart I'm on my knees
Screamin' "Jesus please"
I sit alone in my crib on this summer's eve
Becoming more of the monster that I'd kill to leave
Becoming more of the monster that I'd kill to leave
That I'd kill to leave
I was feeling so lost
Those days they are so gone
Back up on my feet now
I will never back down, back down
This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
It all starts with a dream and a passion
A spark that'll make you spit flames like a dragon (Yeah)
I imagine me in a mansion in Aspen (Chillin')
Hot springs hot tub relaxin' (Hahaha)
"When you gonna start, Jay?" they be askin'
Laughin', I simply reply "that's the genesis"
First off, I'm all about my business
Benjamins fillin' in my pockets
Nothin' fittin' in (Straight cash)
We on our jobs, me and Aki steady gettin' it (Uh)
It's game time, meanwhile ya'll scrimmagin'
Started from the bottom now we here (Here)
Before I wrap it up get one thing clear
Not one of us stoppin' 'till we all persevere (Persevere)
We all persevere (Uh huh)
And this the start ya'll witnessin'
Rewritin' history and we startin' with genesis
This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
Yo, Yo
A blast from the past
Combatin' the demons
Bein' convinced that my strengths were all the weakness
The beginnin' stage remember when I first took a pen and put it
Into my hidden rage, mental in the cage
Mixed up like a interface
Livin' like a renegade
Gassed up probably hyperventilate
If I wasn't busy tryin' to live my day
Life lemons I made into lemonade
Turn it into business ain't pleasin'
Thank Jesus
Keep movin' can't freeze 'em
Decatur made me this impatient at being impatient
Proactive young rapper talent attracted passion up in the masses
Presently I'm feelin' fantastic with who I am now who I'm gonna be
Where I was then when I'm gonna blow really don't mean much to me
Life ain't 'bout findin' yourself it's 'bout definin' yourself
Limitless this the genesis
They will never take me down
I was born to wear a crown
God is runnin' through my veins
Things will never be the same
They will never take me down
I was born to wear a crown
God is runnin' through my veins
Things will never be the same
Yo it's the genesis
I was born to win this shit
Since I was a kid I saw a crown on my head
I'm finally gettin' it (Yeah)
Always close to God but I heard the devil whisperin'
My eyes are dry but I got her pussy glistenin' (Oh shit)
She wishin' it would never end
I close my eyes, yeah, and I remember when
I was lost like Peter Pan in f*ckin' Neverland
Finally found my soul so I gotta make 'em understand
Grab a pen and pad time to write it
All the fears I'll fight it (Yeah)
My girl's a freak just like me so
I'ma hit that ass just like I hit this beat
Hard as f*ck, took my dream
And ripped up the receipt
'Cause there's no turnin' back bitch
Light a match, burn the past up
Champaign's prince
Never been the same since (Yeah!)
Felt the music runnin' though my f*ckin' veins if (Yeah! yeah!)
Anything gets in my way I'll slay it
So I'll say it again, bitch
This is the Genesis
This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
This is the genesis
The beginning of a whole new world
A whole new world, yeah
