Genesis (feat. Sampa the Great)

Yeah, yeah, this was like the genesis

This was like the memories

This was like the deja vu, the way that I remember this

This was like the penalties, this was like the way they treat you

When you thinkin' different, put that different in parenthesis

This was like this level three

This here feel like Paul got the window of that truck

Screamin', "Murder" to my enemies

This here feels like the equalizer

This was like the powers in the people

Hence the moment that they realize that this is black enterprisin'

The heavy liftin' in the revolution for the very freedom that we exercisin'

It feel like it's level five now

This feel like the calm before the storm, but the storm is 'bout to happen

Right now

The excellence doesn't stress about a pessimist

Gift wrap your future, but you don't know what your present is

History I know is of the kings of Ethiopia

The libraries of Timbuktu, but tell me, who the fuck are you?

Tryin' to put some botox lips on the ugly truth

This is the revenge of the nerds from the corrupted youth

I say, "Power to the people"

Power to the people, this is who I bleed and who I speak for

And such, and such is that, you wanna know the feeling

You wanna know the feeling, and such, and such is that

You wanna know the feeling, you wanna know the feeling

They tellin' me to stick to a code

They don't even know, they don't even know

So, instead I'm goin' to stick to my soul

You already know, you already know

They tellin' me to stick to a code

They don't even know, they don't even know

So, instead I'm goin' to stick to my soul

You already know, you already know

I say, "Power to my people"

I say, "Free my my mind, say heal our people "

Said, "We lost, we don't know how to eat though"

Killing all our voices, yeah, we don't know to speak though

Tell us that we are angry, all we want to be is equal

Tired of bein' angry, tired of bein' bitter

I'm tired of marchin' alone, so we can do it all next winter

I'm tired of speaking up and bein' labeled as a villain

You say some of us where under mindin' what I'm feelin'

I'm speaking on my feelings, I'm tired of bein' raged

I'm tired of bein' tired, I demand to see change

I'm puttin' on the armor every time I'm in your space

And when I say I need my orders, when you say it's about race

You wanna know race?

You wanna know the feeling when they spittin' on your children

For the color of they face, talk about age

My baby brother tried as adult, locked for life to put a **** in a cage

My sista I'm gonna change the image of what beauty is

I know her face will never, ever get a second glance

My suffers just a fact, they talkin' nice and shady

I diverse and put my image on they cover 'cause I'm black

And such, and such is that, you wanna know the feeling

You wanna know the feeling, and such, and such is that

You wanna know the feeling

They tellin' me to stick to a code

They don't even know, they don't even know

So, instead I'm goin' to stick to my soul

You already know, you already know

They tellin' me to stick to a code

They don't even know, they don't even know

So, instead I'm goin' to stick to my soul

You already know, you already know

We've been watchin' (So long) Waitin' (So long)

But it still goes 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

We've been watchin' (So long) Waitin' (So long)

But it still goes 'round and 'round and 'round

We need forward motion

And such, and such is that, and such, and such is that

Forward motion

And such, and such is that, and such, and such is that

Can you handle that?

And such, and such is that, and such, and such is that

And such, and such is that, and such, and such is that

Can you handle that?
