[Verse 1: Nasty C] We been tryna tell the world how my people suffer But it’s goin’ 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 Fast cars and the jewellery’ll make you ponder Cost too much to be a doctor, go get a chopper And that could make you lose your mind, it’ll make you a monster It never was a real option to be a rockstar [Chorus: Nasty C] Genies and them shootin’ stars nowhere to be found But temptation’s like your cousin ‘cause he’s always been around Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house (Huh) Genies and them shootin’ stars nowhere to be found But temptation’s like your cousin ‘cause he’s always been around Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house [Verse 2: Manana] I need a second, maybe a minute Although I defended, every decision Am I a menace? Do I need balance? Am I just desperate, as a recessive? I need to decide, left or to the right If I pay the tithe, will it even change my life? Why every single day I feel like life is just a game and I don’t even wanna play [Verse 3: Nasty C] (Run it) Runnin' the race (Run it) Runnin' in place (Run it) You’re runnin' from cages (Run it) We're runnin' from fame (Run it) With the movers and shakers (Run it) They were very persuasive (Run it) Beggin' and takin' (Run it) Shakin' that bacon (Run it) Oh it's pity their race (Run it) That's how they raised them (Run it) And nobody runnin' for president (Run it) These young niggas runnin' your residence (Run it) Take what they want in your residence (Run it) Do you have a gun in your residence? (Run it) Protect who you love in your residence (Run it) Oh yeah [Chorus: Nasty C] Genies and them shootin’ stars nowhere to be found But temptation’s like your cousin ‘cause he’s always been around Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house (Huh) Genies and them shootin’ stars nowhere to be found But temptation’s like your cousin ‘cause he’s always been around Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house Never took that bible anywhere, it’s always in the house [Outro: Nasty C] (Yeah, yeah) (Woah, woah)
