We've been tryna tell the world All my people suffered But it's going in one ear and out the other I grew up in a place where you don't see too many prosper I wanted to be like the drug dealers and the robbers Fast cars and the jewelry will make you ponder Costs too much to be a doctor Go get a chopper And that could make you lose your mind Or make you a monster It never was a real option to be a rockstar Genies and them shooting stars Nowhere to be found But temptation is like your cousin Cause he's always been around Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Genies and them shooting stars Nowhere to be found But temptation is like your cousin Cause he's always been around Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house I need a second Maybe a minute Although I defended Every decision Am I a menace Do I need balance Am I just desperate As a recessive I need to decide Left of to the right If I pay the tithe Will that even change my life While every single day I feel like life is just game and I don't even wanna play Run it Running the race Run it Running in place Run it We're running from cages Run it We're running from fame Run it With the movers and shakers Run it They were very persuasive Run it Begging and taking Run it Shaking that bacon Run it Oh it's pity their race Run it That's how they raise them Run it And nobody running for president Run it Young niggas running their residence Run it Take what they want at your residence Run it You have a gun at your residence Run it Protect all you love at your residence Run it Aah yeah Genies and them shooting stars Nowhere to be found But temptation is like your cousin Cause he's always been around Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Genies and them shooting stars Nowhere to be found But temptation is like your cousin Cause he's always been around Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house Never take that bible anywhere it's always in the house
