Many rivers to cross You ain't got to ask me what I do this for But I can't seem to find my way over I do this for my city Constantly on the come up, Constantly on the come up But I always get this feeling and it's constantly on my stomach I learned to always follow my instinct, When you come from where I come from They try to make a nigga feel like King Kong in the concrete jungle Damn, cause they don't teach niggaz how to deal with anger Nah, they only teach niggaz there ain't nothin' real but danger Politics will not swing in our favor Cause all of us are rappers or entertainers But I still woke up and said, "Young nigga, get it" Cause this is your life you can choose how you live it Are we just lost in the city of madness? Or do the powers that be just lack human compassion? I don't know And they don't want you to speak the truth, man See when you speak the truth they like to make you feel crazy But you ain't crazy, don't let them lie to you Whoever you are, you out there SongtexteKeep doing you, man, fuck the haters Let them hate, let them hate Yeah! You only get one life, you know? And this life ain't in my control When you talk about politics, it's a rod for a lightning bolt Tell me how do you fight a war when the price is for your soul? When you gambling with your life, That's a hell of a pair of dice to roll They say, "Bobby Ray where you went? All you talk about is whips" I say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it take a sip Yeah, everybody got their own two pennies But what does that mean if it don't make sense? I see the crowd, their hands up high But what does that mean? What do they get? At the end of the day what I get paid and they go home what do they think? How can we ever be free if policies don't ever change? Are we just lost in the city of madness? Or do the powers that be just lack human compassion? I don't know You don't know, sometimes it feels like it's just against the world, man Who really got our best interests, man? Don't, don't, don't let them take your soul, man Don't, don't, don't let them take your soul, Don't take your soul Many rivers to cross You ain't got to ask me what I do this for But I can't seem to find my way over No Genre People ask me what No Genre means You know, I once did a mixtape called No Genre I didn't realize that no genre man, like it really described my career People started, like, gravitating toward No Genre and, You know, I was like, "Fuck it, let's do a part two" It really can't be defined by any genre, so Fuck it man, No Genre Aus Songtexte Mania
