Reed - Genesis Lyrics

Yeah
Oh they knew it was coming
They just didn't know when
Yeah
Here we go again
'Nother Eminem
More comparisons
Just you wait
Arriving on the scene
Hopping on some beats
Cuz they were put on my plate (Uh)
God pulled me some strings
I'm thankful that he saw something inside of me that was great
I got some friends and I got some family
But who finna stay when the world hears my first tape? (Yeah)
I don't know what I've gotten myself into (Yeah)
But music is the way I deal with my issues (Uh)
Cuz when you look at me you don't know what I have been through
But you will along with my hidden talents cause all of that is coming soon (Yeah)
I know that I am not welcomed in the rap game
Look
My skin is white and I don't have "Lil" in front of my name (yeah)
I don't pop pills, I don't sip lean, I just got pain
Only thing in common but it's different is that we both wearing chains
Since I was a little kid I always knew the boy had so many hidden talents
But I tried to balance
My purpose and pain
Meanwhile I'm asking God for so many blessings to rain
Man He came in the right timing
Told me to start writing
When I'm feeling violent
Or when I am crying
So I said I'll try it
But voices in my head say no one will like it
Shut up!
Sorry for raising my voice but you'll learn to get to used to it
There's so many songs that I got that you'll be thinking you're listening to a lunatic
I wish my life didn't hurt and it didn't have to be this way
But my girl told me how would you know what happiness is if you never felt pain?
Wow, wow
What a statement
Yet I'm still over here complaining
Like why was my dad never there?
I was 2 when my mama left didn't know where
Whoa, whoa, whoa Reed you giving out way too much information
Man you don't know what you talking bout
I'm just tryna give the fans the basics
They been waiting
For something tasty
So I'm cooking up something for all of the ones that were patient
I been praying
For people's hearts to be open
To a side of me I don't like showing
Heart's thawing out from being frozen
Yeah I still got issues and I'm coping (Yeah!)
So I decided to take God's advice and start writing all of this on some paper
Ain't really know too much about rap but look at me 1 year later
Couple performances, standing ovations, and pat on the backs
Everybody saying, "Man you're good" but I think they're saying that, "It's wack" (Uh)
I know I'm hard to observe
Everything gets on my nerves
I try to make everything work
Instead I just make it worse
But this might actually be the first
Blessing I get instead of a curse
Ready or not, here I come, I'm starting to climb out my hearse
Yeah
