Genesis by Kipauno Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What happens in the dark is bound to come to light
So I’ve been tryna make a spark, grinding thru the night
When it comes to recording feel like Jordan with the Mic
But those who say they the goats prolly, lying instead
So pray for my prey cuz Imma lion instead
So they ain’t sleeping on me no they tryna play dead
But I keep a bird view I’m just tryna get bread
Only fam Durk said but I ain’t dying my dreads
People dying in dread stuck like flies in a web
So I can’t write songs bout looking fly on the web
Future cold and downhill but we ain’t riding no sled
Pressure won’t break us makes us diamond instead
[Chorus]
I’m turning dreams to reality it seems yall doubting me
But soon in the crowd, y'all scream and shout for me
Warring for our freedom, we’ve seen casualties
Wrote songs in basements throwing green off balconies
All that talk is cheap it seems you cowardly
Tryna cop horsepower my whole teams a calvary
20/20 Vision but I’m blind to boundaries
Balling so hard these labels might start scouting me
[Verse 2]
My kin stick with me like velcro so I ain’t tripping
So for them I stand ten toes down in quicksand
All alone she felt too much loss to withstand
But I told her to lean on me just like a kickstand
Lil wash turned to big boss with some big bands
Reel it in with a hook but I ain’t fishing
Swear hate is toxic, get it out your system
Feel I’m talking to walls yeah, nobody listens
Except my grandmas who I truly admired
Spoiled me like milk but love neva expires
Saw my cuz win on ESPN
Now for my grind I’m really inspired
I used to waste time on FaceTime with these fake dimes
Now I chase signs with my dawg as I make rhymes
Different breed but think alike with our great minds
Can’t change the world overnight I know this takes time
And when I make it Imma stay humble and stay kind
Fight with the ones closest but would neva trade mine
I don’t front no struggle story, I embrace mine
Cuz people sacrificed their dreams to lemme chase mine
[Chorus]
I’m turning dreams to reality it seems yall doubting me
But soon in the crowd, y'all scream and shout for me
Warring for our freedom, we’ve seen casualties
Wrote songs in basements throwing green off balconies
All that talk is cheap it seems you cowardly
Tryna cop horsepower my whole teams a calvary
20/20 Vision but I’m blind to boundaries
Balling so hard these labels might start scouting me
[Outro]
We all got innocence with ignorance in a sense
But in this glimpse I see our flaws make us limitless
To grow from bitterness and timidness into the unknown
Cuz a spark has been lit it’s just time we finished it
Solar eclipse in the dark we’re in the midst of it
Just glad that I was born in a time to witness this
Wonder how we’ll remember this when we reminisce
Talmbout the start of our voyage, call this the genesis
What happens in the dark is bound to come to light
So I’ve been tryna make a spark, grinding thru the night
When it comes to recording feel like Jordan with the Mic
But those who say they the goats prolly, lying instead
So pray for my prey cuz Imma lion instead
So they ain’t sleeping on me no they tryna play dead
But I keep a bird view I’m just tryna get bread
Only fam Durk said but I ain’t dying my dreads
People dying in dread stuck like flies in a web
So I can’t write songs bout looking fly on the web
Future cold and downhill but we ain’t riding no sled
Pressure won’t break us makes us diamond instead
[Chorus]
