About

The Roach is the second track to Genesis Owusu’s sophomore album, STRUGGLER.

The Roach Lyrics

[Chorus]
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like, I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like, I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?

[Verse 1]
I was trapped (Woo)
Trapped, trapped in the black
I'm a roach, don't knock me on my back (Woo)
Legs in the air, hope God don't attack
Not tryna see my head on the plaque
Hm, always watched but never seen
Said my skin was never clean
Tried to turpentine me (Tried to turpentine what?)
Only fit for the fiends
Said the popes and the queens
I'm the king of the unseen

[Chorus]
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like, I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like, I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?

[Verse 2]
Feeling like Gregor Samsa
A bug in the cog of a grey-walled cancer
I'm tryna break free with a penciled stanza
So are we human or are we dancer?
I'ma waste a life tryna chase an answer
A big boy suit with a paid for candor
We all just comics tryna place a lander
For the pests I'm the great commander (The Roach, the Roach)
The Roach

[Outro]
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la (Fear the Roach)
La-la-la, la-la-la (Love the Roach)
La-la-la, la-la (Fear the Roach)
La-la-la, la-la-la (Love the Roach)
La-la-la, la-la-la (Fear the Roach)
La-la-la, la-la (Love the Roach)

What did Genesis Owusu say about "The Roach"?

‘The Roach’ and ‘The Old Man’ are where I introduce and give context to the two main characters. ‘The Roach’ is the story of this flawed anti-hero character that’s just trying to move through life at this pace, but starting to question what the point is. We get a sense of their mentality and why the...
