leon breaux – genesis. lyrics
[verse 1: leon breaux]
newborn child gripping the fingertips of its mother
born innocent with no knowledge of skin color
racism don’t live in the veins of the young
it’s in the air we breathe, it lives in our lungs
the sword is mighty yet the voice works wonders
you can gun me down but can’t drag me down under
freedom of speech only right we have left
occupy soundwaves with songs of protest
i ain’t saying i’m in it, i never met the bullet
i’m speaking on behalf of the ones who pull through it
evil don’t have a color, it’s in every person you meet
there’s no white privilege, were all up against the elite
even judas betrayed the ones he broke bread with
snakes in the gr-ss grab your word and behead it
were all hypocrites but give me credit
in this shook world i’m the one who said it
[verse 2: leon breaux]
the same child that was grippin’ is now a young man
not so innocent anymore but you must understand
he’s a product of circ-mstance, the cards he was dealt
how can you believe in heaven when all you’ve seen is h-ll
try to hold on to faith but hope always seems to be up in smoke
dreaming of the day that peace is all we’ll ever know
consistent like a metronome yet falling like a domino
tell me how to save the world without having to give up my soul
devil schedules meeting just to test your temptation
promise you the good life in exchange for your creation
dance with the devil and see how far that tango goes
he tempts you with beauty i mean he’s a fallen angel (woah)
seems like the end of days just take a look at the news
innocent people dying and not just under the red, white, and blue
everybody’s equal no matter where you may be coming from
i learned to leave it in the hands of the father, son, and the holy one
[verse 3: leon breaux]
i’ve been training my mind to look for the good in life lately
having devilish thoughts hoping the grace of god can save me
use my music to vent the pen holds my soul
hope every listener grabs hold of every seed that i sow
have you ever thought of the power you have as a rapper
once you receive your platform the youth comes after
and they listen and dissect every rhyme that you write
some even see you as a role model to teach them wrong from right
even a hero maybe, saving them from reality
they wait for you to leave them with a beaten and battered beat
and the message it sticks, carved within their brain
they actually care about the things that you got to say
so what kind of influence are you telling kids to bust guns
telling them selling drugs is the only way to get funds
saying that a woman is only good when she puts out
little kids turned adults that never got to sprout
