[Produced by 9th Wonder] [Verse 1: Cutla** Reid] Intelligent thug, half of the time I'm Nasir Jones Cooking live at the barbecue When I reveal poems from the composition Destroy the competition Never on the wire But look Joe, here's the proposition I pray for you fools every day like a faithful christian Sunk my soul in white wood the whole eighth I'm twistin' Cutla**, jet black '78 edition I'm a genius, straight A's when I ride the rhythm Cut the pie more than twice and I'm gon' get a slice Don't act like I ain't the truth Word to Proof, let's go get 'em Ninth Uh-Uh, let's go get 'em Ninth Middle East represent let's go get 'em Ninth [Verse 2: Skewby] I'm sad cause my generation got the blindest eyes n***as rapping 'bout d** like it's saving lives Investing time into these hoes like potential wives If that's the mother of yo son boy don't be surprised Didn't think that karma was real The condom flushed down your toilet resurrected as a beautiful kid Got you working double time to lead that cubicle sh** Make up your mind, holy design or Lucifer's tips Yeah I know life's complicated Open the bottle just to see it's all concentrated Pulp fiction I will never pump fiction just to leave pots pissed in Spittin' at the camera like Pac before prison huh You know the losers say it happens to the best of us The best of who dawg? Who are you dawg? I'm U-turning in the clouds because of me Been logging off since that guy on Youtube is me Usually I would like attention But strangers get stranger with every "Can I get a picture?" I'm trynna tell folks blog posts don't make ya richer But thank you for supporting all the genius in a n***a [Verse 3: Naledge] Tread water on flat land My larynx hold crack c**aine for a rap fan Looking for more than the shuckin' and jivin' of rappers compromisin' they taste Like eating off a griddle no blow Never congregate with the so-so Snob hop in it's purest, this here is my modern life I took a vow, never live moderate That was way back when I was on Ivy league college sh** They won't let me live it down so I live it up I used to want my city's crown now it isn't much No shots fired when 'Pac died Back when it wasn't cooler to be lying to the consumer Matata Hakuna, I am the Lion King Tell these hoes what they want, I'm the Lyin' King Word to McLuda, Brainiac No blanks in my six shooter, they all hollow Take a tip, out the sip Cla** is dismissed [Verse 4: Add-2] Yo, coming straight up from Chicago They say I'm coming from the outside looking in Looking like that n***a that your favorite rapper should've been Better than the best right, catch me in the next life Bet I'm still spittin' uglier than Usher's ex-wife Add-2 a problem in the column Ann Landers writes So mean but on the mic I'm near Planter's nice A genius like Jean and Ninth and k** tracks Trynna hurry up before Drake and J. Cole bring light-skinned back You kick it like hacky sack, I ain't going back to that For every scar on Seal's face, I can spit a rap to match They nervous like a suburban jumping the curb And the sh** I spit is stuck on they mind like hodgy wearing his turban I was told to go harder, and try and touch the dollar Mo' dots be on they a** than Laurence Fishburne' daughter Artists hard as the hardest part the part a gotta martyr us And Martin must Guess I'll dumb it down we all smarten up [Verse 5: Kendrick Lamar] If you look inside my mind you'll probably see atomic bomb Loaded with explosive grenades holding dope rhymes And it's potent You never heard of heroic flow more divine As a poet I know I'm the don Like sunrise and I owe it to family genes The Albert Einstein in the pocket of dungarees And I'm dunking on Shaq with ease It's a lay up every time I stay up I'm in the studio the time they wake up, but wake up It gets worse There's not a weapon that can prosper The prognosis of a sick rapper that can rock ya whole roster [Verse 6: Brittany Street] Brittany Street, yea, time told on itself Kinda happy here to see this, I'm a actual genius Ninth, I'm on a pedestal lift a finger when it's needed A genius makes no mistakes So it's cool I had to wait push the bull to the side And keep my power in the safe Now I release it in this room Even if you don't believe you'll catch a spirit in this place I'm a actual revolver When it comes back around hope it's me for the take I'm a thief for this space, I want it all or nothing It's never beef for this cake And I'm the beauty and the beast and on this beat I will shake Damn slow down Street, naw n***a this my pace You need actual proof, I'm the actual stakes Past the [?] around and tell them super genius on it's way Brittany Street [Verse 7: The Kid Daytona] What a beautiful day it is, cruisin' to Mayfield In a ride that glide like [?] when he was hoopin' in [?] Living proof for the ‘mazing is Scooped up your broad now my palm on the cranium Gettin' dome, indoor stadium Rocky a** roll when I'm all in your [Adrian?] You must s** at life, I'm on the cusp of hypes Unattainable to most, safe to say I've touched the sky Delante West you muthaf**in' [bride?] Show some respect for the toughest on the mic Daytona, paint images like [?] from [?] What you hearin' is quotables You never get it if you slow to move Success smell sweet like when roses bloom Defeat like see-saw in a open [?] I know some goons that keep the strap on like [brand new?] bowling shoes [?] those them dudes I keep close for hoes like you No lenience for idiots, my five thoughts beyond smart He's a muthaf**in' genius [Verse 8: Laws] Yo they mocking me when they should be copying their Laws Knowledge is forever but novelty wears off Like names on a wall, and fade like hairlines They gave mine airtime This is for the Judas and call me Jesus in person and say he's just OK He jock my colour quality [?] my genius is great So I'mma meet the chicks he want and steadily strong arm ‘em Make ‘em glow like silver and readily Long John ‘em It's not a problem, or one that I can't solve They wanna stop to talk sh** man but I can't stall In this modern warfare they say that I can't but I can't recall Poppin' off with my back to the wall Is being a genius being a capital G In this day [?] avoiding it after seeing it Either it's something that you can't reach Or it's something that your whack mentors can't teach Genius [Verse 9: Sundown] Knowledge connoisseur, genius provocateur The genius schizophrenic, scribble my mental image Replace the inkblots, graph a genius plot Off the charts I mark my territory Glory been [?] Banner in the lab before the gamma radiation got to damage him You bore me, what of Arabia?
