Genesis
K.King x Beni Maniaci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trying to reach us beyond the walls of what people teach us
We in the bleachers
Nose bleeding but you can't see us
We calling out to the front row and they call us leeches
Let me be the footprint in the sand when you walk on beaches
Fruits of our labor Eve want the Apple I'm into peaches
I'm not a preacher but I'll break the word down into pieces
They say the rest is heathens
Sorry that's what they feeding
You can't be yourself in this world if it's against they teachings
I can be the smartest in the room and they say I'm geeking
The truth is what I'm seeking
Until then I'm not sleeping
My alarm doing harm cause it'll wake the demons
Some aim to be a deacon I aim to be a beacon
Of hope to those whose heart is closed wall is up and froze
Castle black I will spit fire until starts to weaken
They looking at me crazy cause I'm never peaking
Still looking for a way in like my name was Keenan
I never fall cause I'm winner baby this my season
Christopher Williams said it best don't wake me cause I'm dreaming
Woah
See we are not the same bro
I am not able to kill a man that's what Cain for
So what you sayin tho
Lion on my name tho
Got you seeing double you and Noah in the same boat
I'm just a vessel ain't nothing about me special
Change those who let you keep going and never settle
Always aim to be better better yet refute the devil
Once you complete all your goals you'll reach another level
I'm always busy I told her that I don't need a schedule
If you need me you can find me in bethel intellectual
Always learning always working towards a life of self empowerment
Hours spent to make sure my life don't end in peril
I'm not here to save you
I'm not forcing you to cleanse I'm not here to bath you
Life is a marathon I'm just here to pace you
I'm just here to make sure you enjoy the life that he gave you
Woah
The lyrics to K.King x Beni Maniaci's song Genesis delve into the artists' beliefs in the blood of Jesus and their attempts to break down religious teachings that limit individuals. They express a desire to reach people who may feel like they are sitting on the sidelines or being called 'leeches' for their differences. The artists use analogies such as 'being the footprint in the sand when you walk on beaches' and 'breaking down the word into pieces' to indicate their desire to help others understand their own truths. They acknowledge that it may not be an easy journey, as there are 'demons' that need to be faced and that they themselves are constantly 'looking for a way in.'
The song also addresses feelings of individuality and a desire to strive for self-improvement. The artists refuse to be compared to others, as they state that they are 'not the same.' They state that they 'always aim to be better, better yet refute the devil' and encourage others to do the same. The artists place emphasis on self-empowerment and 'working towards a life of self-empowerment' to prevent their life from ending in 'peril.' Ultimately, the artists express that they are not there to force change onto anyone or to 'cleanse' them, but rather to support people in enjoying the life that they have been given.

Yeah see I believe in the blood of Jesus
I have faith in the power of Jesus' sacrifice
I'm trying to reach us beyond the walls of what people teach us
I seek knowledge beyond commonly accepted beliefs
We in the bleachers
We feel like outsiders
Nose bleeding but you can't see us
We struggle in plain sight without recognition
We calling out to the front row and they call us leeches
We seek guidance from those in power but are labeled as parasites
Let me be the footprint in the sand when you walk on beaches
Let me pave the way for you to follow my lead
Fruits of our labor Eve want the Apple I'm into peaches
I'm not tempted by the same things as others and have my own desires
I'm not a preacher but I'll break the word down into pieces
I am not ordained but I can offer insights into the teachings
Like I got to be on guard then I get to rest in Eden
I must remain vigilant to avoid temptation before experiencing true bliss
They say the rest is heathens
Others believe those not following their beliefs are morally corrupt
Sorry that's what they feeding
It's unfortunate that society feeds these harmful beliefs
You can't be yourself in this world if it's against their teachings
Society does not allow for individuality if it goes against established norms
I can be the smartest in the room and they say I'm geeking
Others may belittle me for my intelligence
The truth is what I'm seeking
I prioritize finding the truth above all else
Until then I'm not sleeping
I will continue to pursue knowledge tirelessly
My alarm doing harm cause it'll wake the demons
My actions may awaken malevolent forces
Some aim to be a deacon I aim to be a beacon
I aspire to be a source of guidance and hope for others
Of hope to those whose heart is closed wall is up and froze
I can offer hope to those who are guarded and closed off
Castle black I will spit fire until starts to weaken
Just like a fort under siege, I will persevere until I break through
They looking at me crazy cause I'm never peaking
People are surprised by my consistent drive and success
Still looking for a way in like my name was Keenan
I am still searching for acceptance and validation in this world
I never fall cause I'm winner baby this my season
I am currently in a state of success and will continue to thrive
Christopher Williams said it best don't wake me cause I'm dreaming
I'm so happy with where I am, I might be dreaming
See we are not the same bro
We have different experiences and beliefs
I am not able to kill a man that's what Cain for
I do not have the capacity for violence
So what you sayin tho
What are you trying to say?
Lion on my name tho
I have a fierce reputation
Got you seeing double you and Noah in the same boat
I have helped you through a difficult situation
I'm just a vessel ain't nothing about me special
I am just a conduit for a greater force, not inherently special
Change those who let you keep going and never settle
Push yourself to constantly grow and change
Always aim to be better better yet refute the devil
Strive for self-improvement while rejecting harmful influences
Once you complete all your goals you'll reach another level
Achieving goals leads to further growth and development
I'm always busy I told her that I don't need a schedule
I am driven and don't require strict structure
If you need me you can find me in bethel intellectual
You will find me engaged in intellectual pursuits
Always learning always working towards a life of self empowerment
I prioritize learning and self-growth to achieve personal success
Hours spent to make sure my life don't end in peril
I am careful and cautious to avoid danger and failure
I'm not here to save you
It is not my responsibility to rescue you
I'm not forcing you to cleanse I'm not here to bath you
I cannot change you or force you to change your ways
Life is a marathon I'm just here to pace you
Life is a journey and I'm here to guide you through it
I'm just here to make sure you enjoy the life that he gave you
I want to help you find happiness and fulfillment in life
Woah
Expression of surprise or awe
