Genesis

[Intro]

Respect this right here, nigga

I.M.D. – you must play this

I.M.D., word up

Yeah, you know, Infamous Mobb Deep

It's real, check it out, though

[Verse 1]

Respect the I.M.D., fresh out the carton

The R-A-double-P-E-R

P-E-double, when I speak, it gets real

Flex try to tell me, "Yo dunn, nah, chill

You can't come out, wildin' out like that"

Rhymes so vivid, dunn, I see what you sayin'

But you gotta understand how I feel

The pain and the hardship it took to build

Years of frustration, some got killed

Others fell vic' to the gates of steel

Most try to instill sanity, still

Stuck on this rock where we don't belong

I wanna go home, not sing this song

But I'm forced to perform, speech napalm

Calm, surrounded by all types of harm

Dog, man, fuck your screwface, I watch hands

[Interlude]

Watch your hands, nigga, I see that, word up...

Word up, peep y'all cats' movements

Laid back in the cut, like what

Pay attention, check it out, dunn

[Verse 2]

I'm bein' watched by snake eyes

Peep them shed skin plenty times

Surrounded by crash dummies and empty minds

Get your shit together, dunn, see between the lines

Stay awoke, to the ways of the wickedest kind

Infamous – 'cause of the way I write rhymes

Plus, my story's more foul than your newborn eatin' swine

(Stupid) Catch a seat, it's about to get deep

Like squeezin' flouride on your brush for your teeth

Or, takin your seed to get shots every week

We need to pay more attention to our surroundings

Busy wildin', all for the wrong cause

Put that same strength into somethin' that'll pay off

Don't forget your soul's involved

That same energy you put out, comes right back, it revolves

I smash you, dunn, only if I have to

I would hate to, but I'll be more than glad to

The positive and negative war has now begun

P helps you separate both the sides

Let the truth arise, Black, Devil don't hide

You can't hide from me, you might from the others

I've been employed to pull your ass out from the covers

You walk like you got hoofs, and talk like you 'sposed to

Trickin' my brothers into followin' you? Yo

Potential energy is easily made kinetic

I turn 'em all back where they belong, don't wet it

What? Set it...

[Outro]

Set it, nigga, fuckin' fake-ass motherfuckers

Take your mask off, nigga, what? (What... what...)
