Genesis

[Intro]
(Genesis, Genesis)
(Ah) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah)(Genesis, Genesis)

[Verse 1]
I never fit in
I never stood out
Kept going left
'Til there was no one left around
I could've stayed down low
And although I still get high
I've got purpose
I've got a reason left for life

[Pre-Chorus]
What is this feeling that's got a hold of me?
I cannot possibly be

[Chorus]
Happy for myself 'cause I put in the time
Releasing negativity that isn't mine
I feel like I am on the precipice
Of reaching the potential everybody said
I could fight for forever but never get
Tell me, are you out there listening?

[Post-Chorus]
This is my Genesis
(Ah) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah) Mm

[Verse 2]
Well, I've always been an optimist
But too scared to give in to the happiness
I've always had a bone to pick with the hand I was dealt
Like I was stuck with it
So I'ma throw the game away
'Cause if the game don't change, it's more of the same
More of a cis Caucasian nation
Tryna put us all in our place, I'm saying

[Pre-Chorus]
What is this feeling that's got a hold of me?
I cannot possibly be

[Chorus]
Happy for myself 'cause I put in the time
Releasing negativity that isn't mine
I feel like I am on the precipice
Of reaching the potential everybody said
I could fight for forever but never get
Tell me, are you out there listening?

[Post-Chorus]
This is my Genesis
(Ah) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah) Mm
This is my Genesis
(Ah) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah) Mm
(Ah)

[Bridge]
Maybe it's maturity
Maybe it's a lack of empathy
I don't know what's got into me
But I feel like a brand new entity
Maybe it's maturity
Maybe it's a lack of empathy
I don't know what's got into me
But I feel like a brand new entity

[Chorus]
(Happy for myself 'cause I put in the time)
(Releasing negativity that isn't mine)
(I feel like I am on the precipice)
Happy for myself 'cause I put in the time
Releasing negativity that isn't mine
I feel like I am on the precipice
Of reaching the potential everybody said
I could fight for forever but never get
Tell me, are you out there listening?

[Post-Chorus]
This is my Genesis
(Ah) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah) Mm
This is my Genesis
