Genesis
Chris and Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow, today
Solace from a chalice, pour out the pain
Having my heart plummet when contemplating
"What's in for me?" Yeah
This city got a hold of me, let go
At hand and yet so out of reach, yeah
Imagine being told you're seeing ghosts
Competition, competition
Should I abort the mission? nah nah
This life is unforgiving
Unforgiving, unforgiving
Alive but barely living, nah nah
Ok, hold on wait a minute
Hard to see beyond my field of vision when I'm in it
Praying for a blessing, let alone a pot to piss in
Reminiscing on the days when we could barely make a living
But that shit is in the past now
Young nigga make it glisten with no bussdown
Looking at me, I might really be a cash cow
No debating, put a bid up, I'm the best out
All you lots can rest now
If you wanna do it, gotta put your mind to it
Only hit it if it got a little bounce to it
Cutting loose ends, ain't afraid to lose friends
Either way they coming back around like some loose change
That's why you gotta let it go when it's gotta go
If your folks ain't got no goals then it's adios
Margaritas by the load when we crack the code
Showing you all that it really takes to be considered goats
Competion
Competion
But who's my competition?
Competition, competition
Should I abort the mission? nah nah
This life is unforgiving
Unforgiving, unforgiving
Alive but barely living, nah na
The lyrics of Chris and Joe's song "Genesis" touch upon themes of struggle, ambition, and the challenges of living in a competitive world. The opening lines refer to the realization that nothing is ever guaranteed in life, emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment. The mention of finding solace from a chalice represents seeking comfort or escape from the pain and difficulties of life. The line "Having my heart plummet when contemplating 'What's in for me?'" illustrates the internal conflict of weighing personal gains and the consequences of one's actions.
The lyrics delve into the artist's experience in a city that has a hold on him but feels just out of reach. The idea of seeing ghosts could signify feeling haunted by past mistakes or constantly being reminded of missed opportunities. The repeated refrain of "competition" highlights the pressure to succeed and surpass others in a competitive environment. The artist questions whether they should continue on their chosen path or "abort the mission," questioning the unforgiving nature of life.
As the song progresses, the artist reflects on their journey and the hardships they have faced. They express gratitude for the progress they have made, overcoming past struggles to create a better life. The lyrics also convey a sense of determination and confidence, asserting themselves as the best in their field and suggesting that others can find success if they put their minds to it.
Overall, "Genesis" captures the universal themes of ambition, competition, and the challenges of pursuing one's dreams amidst the unpredictability of life.

And I heard 'em say
I overheard people saying
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow, today
There are no guarantees for the future, only the present
Solace from a chalice, pour out the pain
Finding comfort and relief by expressing and releasing the pain
Having my heart plummet when contemplating
Feeling a deep sadness and despair while thinking about something
"What's in for me?" Yeah
Questioning what benefits I will receive
This city got a hold of me, let go
Being deeply influenced and controlled by the city's environment
At hand and yet so out of reach, yeah
Something seems close and accessible, but remains unattainable
Imagine being told you're seeing ghosts
Being informed that what you perceive is not real
But who's my competition?
Questioning who my rivals are
Should I abort the mission? nah nah
Considering whether I should give up on my goals
This life is unforgiving
Life does not offer forgiveness or mercy
Alive but barely living, nah nah
Existing, but feeling like life has lost its meaning
Ok, hold on wait a minute
Pause and take a moment
Hard to see beyond my field of vision when I'm in it
Difficult to have a broader perspective when I am deeply involved
Praying for a blessing, let alone a pot to piss in
Seeking any form of blessing or even basic necessities
Reminiscing on the days when we could barely make a living
Reflecting on the past when our financial situation was extremely difficult
But that shit is in the past now
Those hardships are over and no longer relevant
Young nigga make it glisten with no bussdown
Achieving success and making it shine without flashy displays of wealth
Looking at me, I might really be a cash cow
Observing me, it's possible that I am a source of financial gain
No debating, put a bid up, I'm the best out
Without any argument, I am the most superior and skilled
All you lots can rest now
Everyone else can now relax and stop competing
If you wanna do it, gotta put your mind to it
If you want to achieve something, you must fully commit and focus
Only hit it if it got a little bounce to it
Only engage in something if it is exciting and energetic
Cutting loose ends, ain't afraid to lose friends
Getting rid of unnecessary connections and not fearing the loss of friendships
Either way they coming back around like some loose change
Regardless, they will return like loose coins
That's why you gotta let it go when it's gotta go
That is why you have to release something when it is necessary
If your folks ain't got no goals then it's adios
If your acquaintances do not have ambitions, then it's time to say goodbye
Margaritas by the load when we crack the code
Enjoying plentiful rewards and celebrations when we succeed
Showing you all that it really takes to be considered goats
Demonstrating the qualities and efforts required to be recognized as great
Competion
Competition
But who's my competition?
Questioning who my rivals are
Should I abort the mission? nah nah
Considering whether I should give up on my goals
This life is unforgiving
Life does not offer forgiveness or mercy
Unforgiving, unforgiving
Without mercy, without forgiveness
Alive but barely living, nah nah
Existing, but feeling like life has lost its meaning
nah nah
Expression of dismissal or refusal
