Lyrics

A genius, ya’ll
I’m genius
A genius -- I take it easy
They can’t keep me from my AAVE
As if SATs state tests and ACTs be
Any measure of brains that's how they nay-say Yeezy
About his genius
I don’t agree with his every word
But it’s egregious how some idiots don’t see he has any worth
And any jerk a critic stay getting on every nerve
All that does is drive somebody real nutty like Eddie Murph’
It’s a pattern that I noticed from haters of lots of rappers
Some rather see us going the way of velocirapters
Disturbed to see us turning Nat Turner on all our captors
Determined to mass murdering words up on every rap verse
No they cannot explain the shit that Gene Simmons said
You should be ashamed to share the same sentiment
They can’t never say that Samm-us ain’t killin’ ‘em
Gotta say my name’s the same as a synonym for
GENIUS -- is not mandated by any edicts
GENIUS -- it does not care about your appearance
GENIUS -- don’t give a damn about your allegiance
Venus to Serena, Lupita to Junot Diaz x2
A genius --- Lemme stop and give thanks
Or my head’ll gets so big they’ll act like it’s Krang’s
So big, it’s like my thoughts have implants
Cuz it’s sobering to think that I’m smart like think tanks
I had dreams of quests for tracks at fat beats
Now I spit to Rap-heads, got blessed by mad geeks
I’m down at MAGFest, Southwest, and PAX East
To spit to rap-vets and confess my pet peeves
I’m Dave Grohl
Fool-fighting I’m rocking fatigues
I stay woke
Through writing give props to Patrice
Lumumba to O’Neal
Don’t forget about Emmett Till
I’m indebted to Uncle Phil
I pray they’re at peace
She chock full of knowledge yet how can she acknowledge it?
God forbid she talk up her accomplishment
They’ll posit that
Her frontal lobe is probl’y pumped with fillers like some collagen
Black and cold as one below
They’ll kill her cuz she confident
GENIUS -- is not mandated by any edicts
GENIUS -- it does not care about your appearance
GENIUS -- don’t give a damn about your allegiance
Venus to Serena, Lupita to Junot Diaz x2
