Genesis
M.C.M.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hate me all you want i'll feed of that
Hate me all you want i'll get rich of that
Hate me all you want
I was built for shine
I glitter tho i'm from the mud
BBC I'm in the news watch you click that
Curry in his prime on the offense pass me 30's watch me shoot 3's with that
Aiming for the moon became the brightest star other mc's call me Christ
Show me who made it out without scars
Loyalty for a price
Memories come alive, drinking to my past life
Shit was horrific I can't deny
I fear friends more than cops
Am watchful of your fades and disguise
For pussy he might rat me out
I like being alone but I ain't lonely
Better off than with the snakes who call you homie
I like been rich instead of sorry
Only time I work is working on me
Worked on roads music paved for me
Ain't about the money ain't no way this hoes fuck with me
I gave so much that shit really turned on me
When I lost it all they all turned on me
Cold nights in dark it all dawned on me
Go a thousand miles for niggas who wouldn't care to dial on me
Even got niggas who stole from me
Wouldn't care to put a dick in my woman
On her knees told her pray to God for me.
You know
It's been all sort of things happening you know
And I just think to myself
What's the outcome of all this
You know I guess some people would just tell me
You are an engineer men
You should be at sea
A seafarer
While some be like yo!
You too good for this rap shit Men
This should be what you do
And I just think to myself and
I be like Ya'll don't understand the love I have for this music you know
Been here in the underground wanna make a difference
You know it's just my time
And this my time
You know
I don't seek validation from no body I'm too good for that
You know and I hope that everyone gets to see how good and great
I am without me trying to force it
Got to love or hate me i don't care




I just wanna get my music out
And let my passion be known for what I did for music and all of that yea
