Preconceived Notions Lyrics by Hec

The Genesis

2017

I know what it’s like when they snatch your pops off the block /
Before you’re even born your whole life being scorned/
You ain’t worth shit and you won’t ever amount to more/
Another statistic fall victim to the system/
Earliest memories are visits in rooms at a prison/
Type of life I’m living never asked but was given/
The type of shit we deal with we born into hell/
Do heaven really exist? Sometimes it’s hard to tell/
I just hope and I just pray to something that’s above me/
And then if the lord exists, I just hope that he love me/
Forgive me for my sins Because I sinned a whole lot/
And protect me so my moms don’t have to grieve at my plot/
Because I’m hot headed hot tempered tho I know better/
But anything can change like the seasons and weather/
My lifeline can snap like a twig and they’ll be burying a kid and that’s just how it is/
And That’s just how it’s been./
First number I remember my fathers fucking DIN/
22 years that’s how long he’s been locked in/
And I’m only 16 so go and do the math/
Never seen him in plain clothes go head you can laugh/
You can laugh at my pain/
Just know I’m here tryna make a way/
Tryna make a change my life will never be the same/
Tryna make a name the shit is more than the fame/
Taking charge of my life and I’m just speeding down the lane/
Moving any obstacle that tries getting in my way/
Because my life mean something when I take it to the grave/
And all the shit that I been through the shit on my mental will probably fucking kill you/
Actually no “probably “ that’s exactly what it will do/
But I hold myself down Because that’s what the real do/
That’s always what I’ve done and it’s what imma still do/
And when I blow up watch them all say “I feel you” /
But I don’t really care what they say Because that’s what a bitch do/
Ik the feeling hit you/
And hit like a missile/
I’m loaded like a pistol/
And aiming at your temple/
I don’t speak no lies go and check my credentials/
My styles fundamental/
Hip hops essentials/
Is flowing through my pencil/
Go and tell your little friends I’m
Coming with a vengeance/
Run them off the track when I start revving up my engines/
Hits like homeruns because I’m swinging for the fences/
Some call me a tryhard I call myself relentless/
I’m easing up the trauma not here for the drama/
Stress relief flows the pain pause with the commas/
Reminisce on words I heard from my momma /
“They expect you to fail so you must prevail/
Or you gonna be like your pops and end up in jail”/
Nothing other than the truth leave her lips when she speaks /
Won’t let that viscous cycle go and continue with me/
Always shed the light when the times seem bleak/
Because down is a place you cannot keep me/
And you can try and you can try but you won’t succeed/
Because down is a place that they won’t keep me/
