Oh Genius - Original Manz lyrics

[Intro] Judge: Do you have any idea how much of a burden you are to the tax payer? Man: Yes Judge:Yes, Your Honor Man: Yes, Your Honor Judge: Because of his excellent academic record, I'm going to give him a light sentence this time If I ever see your son in court again I am going to lock him up and throw away the key And I'm going to lock you up with him [Verse 1: Ellis] The medicine man is back Charged for being born black A victim of cla** has nothing to do with etiquette Deprived of cash is systematically done, where I'm from The youth think it's cool to be dumb The same song sung In the court room, another brother hung A few hours after the rise of the sun My momma got a drug dealer for a son It's breakin' her heart I might depart from this life by a gun or a knife Forced to use mine lookin' at life I got the same advice from my pops as pop got from Mike Tys' Do something righteous with your life So I move crowds with mic's Seduce dykes to rock my mic' You get it? Forget it. I live it It's nothing to spit it vivid I speak the universal language Articulatin' pain and anguish Takin' being felt over bein' famous Black heart, my sleeve stainless [Hook] It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually [x3] [Verse 2: Ellis] Deja-vu make me feel like my soul time-travellin' Backwoods unravellin' Mind soar' like a javelin While being pleased by Jacquelin My reality, you're imaginin' I'm royalty, 'bleed the blood of an African Or an ultra-masculine My roots, I can't mask 'em In my past life, I played jazz in the Tribe of Shabazz Taught titans the art of war when they clash To the tat' of my origins, now I gotta' get drunk to dance And forget to put prayer in my plans Won't give the preacher half a penny, but I toss my man a grand So he 'don't cop grams 'Say he wanna' leave the street, but the workforce won't let him compete Now who you blame for that? Can't find a hustler across the map in a trap, that wanna' sell crack The self-preservation is the first law of nature So we 'bout that paper from Jamaica to Decatuh' I'll k** ya' before we graze ya' Inherited slave blood comes with hostile behaviuh' Attracted to the j**els and rings 'Cuz we was once kings And they want us in chains, both mentally and physically [Hook] It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually [x3] [Outro] *Man 1: You wanna' know something? Your kind should be locked up the day they're born Man 2: 'You wanna' know something? We ARE*
