Afternoon Song Lyrics by Genesis Renji

I Might Be Home

2016

[Verse 1: Genesis Renji]
Somewhere between homicidal and suicidal
Razor in my hand
They say don't jump
With ya eyes closed
You won't see everything that you pass
They say we living too fast
But really
We just dying slow
Too close to the edge
Fuck it
I'll take off
I pray this noose around my neck soon break off
I pray these shackles 'round my leg soon shake off
I quit these jobs
So I can never be laid off
I sold my soul to myself
My debts are paid off
Built a House from a pyramid
Bitch, I'm Maddoff
I'm making sure I can make off
With all this cash I made off
Rap sales of past tales of a young black male
It's unfortunate
All these portions I'm posed to get
Prolly go back to the government on some bogus shit
On some
"We taxing you for what you owning shit
And we gon write it up acting like you still owe us" shit
I understand it
My perception uncanny
I see the good and the evil
I peeped the angels and demons
I appreciate the purpose of the spirits that's working
Wrote a thesis bout being deceased
And now I'm more than certain that I'm
Gon' be passing by my own hand
Cuz I
Wasn't born in my own land but I'm
-lyrics fade off-
[Hook: Genesis Renji]
Pray for peace of mind
For the times I
Spent all of my time in the limelight
Pray these Angels watching all my blindsides
I don't ever wanna be sidelined
No
No way that I won't (won't)
Won't make it to where I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
[Verse 2: Genesis Renji]
They keep you fearing God
Just to keep you from hearing God
Here's the tricky part
Is there even really a God?
I mean
I know there is
These are questions from older kids
I'm just the boldest kid
Who fucked around and wrote the shit
I only wrote the shit cuz I fucked around and noticed it
I only noticed it
Cuz I'm naturally the nosiest
I got a need for knowing shit
And then when I know the shit
I got a need for showing it
And then owning it
This God complex
Is found in my rhyme sets
They told me pray to they God
I told them I'm set
Keep yo opinions to yoself
My religion was believing
That I could be something else
Arm
Leg
Leg
Arm
Head
Know what that be
Life number seven
Immortality's around me
7 streams
7 breathes
And 7 generations
Gotta live a life worthy of those who survived plantations
Shoutout to Dolo, Anika
Shoutout to Darius
Hope this existence I'm living ain't too embarrassing
Life can be perilous
Doesn't mean I don't cherish it
The ego's necessary
Help me work on arrogance
Pride comes before fall
I feel like I been floating
In between the mountain tops and all the low lands
And if I never rise
Bury me in a river of gold then
Glass casket with a rose tint
I'm open
I'm
[Hook: Genesis Renji]
Pray for peace of mind
For the times I
Spent all of my time in the limelight
Pray these Angels watching all my blindsides
I don't ever wanna be sidelined
No
No way that I won't (won't)
Won't make it to where I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
