Genesis
Hunter & Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I been on the ledge
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
The devil was given his worse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse

2018
Mentally tiring
Needed rewiring
Went through the fire
And end up acquiring
Thoughts of enlightenment
Through my environment
Suicide on my mind
So violent
Almost died
I'm not bragging
I'm crying, Man
You and I
Both alike
We requiring
A peace of mind
Keep a piece on my side
Never know when to fire it
Ignite the sirens
Spark up the violence
I been too silent
For way too many years
Way too many fears
This gon' be our year
Hunter a tyrant
Kick down the walls
All my demons retiring
God is my source
And the Bible my sword
Keep a clip on my hip
If there ever a war
I'mma rage
Til' the floor come undone
And you crush as I'm smiling

Lately, I been on the ledge
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
The devil was given his worse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse

Uh, New year
Same me
New shoes
White tee
Same girl
Wifey
I've had enough of hypebeast
I've had enough of IV's
Hunter D
So clean
I'm 'bout 6 foot 3
Your man 5 foot 3
Gimme 5, 4, 3
2, 1
Twenty One
This month on the two one
Turn two two
God bless ya
I'm the best, Yuh
Toe to toe with vets
Think you might need a vest
To protect your own chest
Making moves like it's chess
I'mma make you upset
When they call me the best

Lately, I been on the ledge
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
The devil was given his worse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse

I was running from my pain
And all my demons
They was hunting
I was troubled by my thinking
Jesus saved me
Gave me purpose and a reason




Now my music saving kids
From the deep end
