Lyrics

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I need a second

Maybe a minute

Although I defended

Every decision

Am I a menace

Do i need balance

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Run it

Running the race

Run it

Running in place

Run it

We're running from cages

Run it

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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 **** running their residence

[Verse 7]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
