lyrics

-Genesis-
put your headphones on
and talk us for a bit
instead of faking conservation
give it at least a minute to sit and
listen with focus up
This song ain't too hard
to playback and follow along
ah! come on! Yeah
(x2)
-Nave-
Come on with us
take a little walk
open your ear drums
we just wanna talk about
getting through these days
I hope you're quiet
when your speaker sprays

(x2)
-Genesis-
my room is a graveyard
for drained dead pens
bold face 12 point
font on the tomb stone
chipped bits of graphite
armed in line marching
through 1 inch margins
never begged for your pardons
and misdemeanor stories
kiss the leader for me
since this disguise
tore me for your reality
so this disc and I
are gone and you can't salvage me
or her, we're in a hymn
caught up in a melody
that's sailing down wind
but i'm down to blend
if we meet up at the stem
then we can intertwine
cause passion's hard to fake
but seeing eye to eye's
easy in a dog fight
good thing we fly fine
you can't even walk right
Genesis and Nave
come correct to spark right
living in the booth but soon
to spit underneath that bar light
packing corner coffee shops
and running that ship all damn night
this goes back to days
when I was pasted in basement
compound syllable rhymes
I wasn't able to comprehend
but now i'm killing it all time
dozens of fateful song to send
if the monitors are bumping
it's guaranteed i'm coming
up with at least a little something
if you're running, it's cool
hell it's mildly expected
but if you let the fashion pull
you in that undecided direction
then you capsized yourself
mast couldn't maintain an erection
there's a reason we're walking
and your far from our section
it's no coincidence
we chill and take it slow
and our flows are open flood gates
spilling metaphors rare as fresh
water in the chicago river where
the loch ness monster
feeds on dead mobsters
suit and tie guillotine
shoot for flight millipede
bruise the mic until you leave
I've been writing in my mind
all damn week
but it's been time to have a day
on my own with a beat
It feels like i'm home
and it's better than a dream
-Nave-
Come on with us
take a little walk
open your ear drums
we just wanna talk about
getting through these days
I hope you're quiet
when your speaker sprays

(x2)
-Genesis-
put your headphones on
and talk us for a bit
instead of faking conservation
give it at least a minute to sit and
listen with focus up
This song ain't too hard
to playback and follow along
ah! come on! Yeah
(x2)
-Nave-
its Nave here
With my buddy Genesis
Just so you know 
You don't need to sell us this
Tainted image
Of what you call hip hop
We'll be walking along these beats
Until our hips pop
Ready to rock the mic right
Ready to keep to this shit ill
Ready to make the tracks
Normal people feel
Cause normal to me
Aint a Beemer Benz or Bentley
Minimum wage days 
My pockets really empty
To be honest with you
Life has kinda bent me
And sent me in wrong directions
So for now ill use this poetry
As my protection
correction From the wrong path
I was dirty for years
Till i took a strong bath
In my pen paper 
I'm rising up like vapor
look at me Ma!
Ima a word shaper
Ready to fuck this game up
I saw you paint a picture
Well... Im ready to fuck the frame up
Nah i never gave up
If you start liking REAL RAP!
Go ahead... Blame us!
Cause even a fuckin record deal
Could never ever tame us
See i don't a fuck 
You can call me shameless
Everyday I'm writing these words
getting rid of anguish  and pain
Im not playin 
Im sayin
Love me for who i am
Or Hate me for who I'm not
Real Hip Hop 
I Give it all i got
real hip hop
we give it all we got
