Genesis

[Produced by Ne-Yo & Kizzo] [Intro] In order for a man to know where he's going, he must first know where he's been. Respecting his past, honoring his present, thus creating his future. Genesis [Verse 1] Genesis, oh genesis, ay I know pain and I know pleasure High and low and everything in-between And through the madness of my life for whatever My music's always been there for me I'm the one they talk about My ego, my attitude Sage, why they gotta be so nasty? Why they gotta be so rude? They don't know about my life They don't know what I've been through But if you don't know, want to know Then let me show you [Chorus] Welcome to my genesis, back to where I started from How I became the man that I've become This is my genesis, back to where I started from Take it right back to the top cause I ain't done (my genesis) [Verse 2] When I was rolling round in my hood (genesis) Ay, young and up to no good (genesis) Streets was calling my name (genesis) And then that music came and saved my life, my life Oh, my inspiration, my muse Music made it all right, all right Hey, who are you that I can't lose [Outro] Welcome to my genesis, back to where I started from How I became the man that I've become (oh) This is my genesis, back to where I started from Take it right back to the top, take it right back to the top, oh My genesis, back to where I started from How I came up, how I got my name up How I blew this game up My genesis, back to where I started from Take it right back to the top cause I ain't done now (genesis)
