(Hook)
Verse 1: Remember playin' Genesis, I'm the game's nemesis / Breakin' and enterin' with every single sentence / Like I'm unrepentive and it's my incentive / to get bread by any means and know I'll be forgiven / When I start spittin' these writtens with bad intentions / I'm not a role model, parent your children / Villain's inhibitions with a penchant for pennin' / adrenaline filled sentences that slaughter senses / Depression unrelentin', my glass' half empty / But I got enough Juice to make Bishop respect me / Obviously illin', like I've been infected / but I didn't fight it, I accepted the infection / As evidence the manifest would not be rejected / by the people that got in the habit of rejectin' / truth as an exception to what's come to be expected / So I checked flexin' for breakfast off my checklist
(Hook)
Verse 2: Drove by The Tobacco Haven, my lungs are Wes Craven / Bring nightmares to life behind that blunt blazin' / Hopeful and optimistic turned cynical and jaded / Thoughts went from sharp to intoxicated and faded / They say you die hard when you try hard to make it / My strength and weakness is that I could never fake it / Now these rap dudes just fake it 'til they make it / with rhymes less than basic, trap beat, and a stupid sayin' / I'm no gifts on Christmas, that's nothin' to play with / Birthdays past, guess those wishes are belated / But I ain't complainin', 'cause hardship has made me / the illest motherfucker you heard on the mic lately / Real recognize real they say, maybe / but fake can't tell the difference between steak and gravy / When I step in the booth I rock True Religions maybe / what I say is like what I confess alone praying
