Track 7 taken from Genesis Elijah’s I Ain’t Even Charging Bruv E.P. The beat is from Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain. Genesis Elijah goes in hard as he always does, and is on point lyrically and visually. One of the best MCs around.
VERSE 1:
- They say I’ve changed
- I question why the never did the same
- Disobeyed the rules ‘cos I was never in the game
- But still I played to win
- That’s contradictory
- Let me explain
- I made a name from doing things I never did for fame
- Made a little P off things I didn’t give for gain
- So I’d be cool without my status
- If it’s ever stripped away
- My presence on the stage will have you feeling like it’s Christmas Day
- I’ve found my platform
- I just hope I haven’t missed my train
- I’ve just started
- I don’t wanna see this journey end
- I ain’t feeling a late start or an early end
- Got a lot of candle and at both ends I’m burning them
- And I ain’t trying to hurt these beats
- I’m trying to murder them
- They never heard of me?!
- Shit, I never heard of them
- Love the industry ‘cos I needed a force to work against
- I love to fly and was never afraid of turbulence
- Or hard work
- Send me into any storm
- I’ll earn my rent
CHORUS:
ADELE
VERSE 2:
- With these words I can work magic
- I’m a verse addict
- My gift is a curse tragic
- Crawled through the dirt
- To emerge lavish
- Hunger and thirst can rival the worst savage
- And on my back I carry the world’s baggage
- Who you been with?
- Chain grabbers, purse snatchers
- I build with made men, dirt nappers
- Young with the gang taste, work stackers
- I put in the work like the clappers
- And when I die they’ll say that my birth mattered
- Cos without me these albums would’ve never happened
- Artists got no heart
- Who cares if they’ve got better patterns?
- Knew my goal from the start
- And I was never slacking
- Any country, any stage
- Still I get it cracking
- With no major backers
- Still I put my back in
- And made it happen
- Save the princess
- Slay the dragon
- Stayed with rapping, ?
- Disobeyed the fashion
- And set fire to the game with the flames of passion
CHORUS
VERSE 3:- One day my hype will die down
- But it’s alive now
- So right now
- Turn the beat up and keep my mic loud
- Tell Security to chill – this is my crowd
- I’m GSP defending my crown – fighting all 5 rounds
- A .45 firing live rounds - skybound
- Kill before I give up
- Die before I lie down
- Crash before I slow downright before I burn up
- What a turn up for the books
- The things that I write down
- Didn’t see me coming
- I can’t blame them for ignoring
- Gave them Dep On Road
- They’re like I never gave them warning
- Spent my nights performing
- Then I spent my days recording
- Said I didn’t believe in God
- Still every day I called? him
- Guess I found my calling
- ‘Cos I got these labels calling
- Made it through the day
- Now I’m just trying to make the morning
- Spaceship’s about to orbit
- Watch me taking off – I’m soaring
- I suggest you get a chorus now
- While you can still afford it
