Domo Genesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This for all you bitch ass niggas you bitch ass bitches out there
This is under the influence
Domo Genesis, he out there killing shit nigga that's what he do
He rips that motherfucking shit
Me? I'm L-Boy
I'm just under the influence
Of crack cocaine nigga!
I don't how the fuck I got in here I'm just in here nigga
But this some real nigga shit
It just the interlude, give y'all niggas a break
Roll up some more mother fucking shit
Whether it be crack, weed, whatever the fuck you like nigga
Light that shit nigga
Smoke that shit nigga!
Cause that's what the fuck I'mma do!
I'mma do my shit nigga!
You feel me? You better feel me nigga!
Cause this is what I do nigga!
It's what I do

I'm not crying, it just mean a lot to me
Cause everything I say, I mean
I'm not done yet
Cause the beat just dropped nigga!
I should rap but I dunno how!
So I'mma just keep talking
Nigga
The lyrics to Domo Genesis's song L-Boy's Interlude are an ode to drug use and addiction, as the singer, L-Boy, proudly declares that he is under the influence of crack cocaine. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as L-Boy addresses "all you bitch ass niggas you bitch ass bitches out there." He then introduces himself as a crackhead who is "just in here" (presumably a recording studio) and encourages listeners to "light that shit" and "smoke that shit" as he plans to do himself.
The interlude serves as a break from the more traditional rap verses on the rest of the album, and allows L-Boy to riff on the beat and spout stream-of-consciousness thoughts about life, drugs, and music. He acknowledges that he doesn't know how to rap, but confidently proclaims that "this is what I do" and "everything I say, I mean." Despite his drug use and apparent lack of direction in life ("I dunno how"), L-Boy seems to find purpose in his passion for music and his belief that his words have meaning.
The mood of the song is intense, but also humorous at times, as L-Boy's exaggerated persona and blunt language clash with the slick production and polished style of the rest of the album. Overall, L-Boy's Interlude stands out as a unique and memorable part of Domo Genesis's Under the Influence album, and an interesting exploration of the seemingly contradictory facets of drug addiction and creative expression.
