Paul Willis - Genesis (feat. Luke Tailor)

Thank God, he saved me from engaging new beginnings
Priorities are winning, but I'm back and forth, table tennis
Tearing down these tenements with new testaments, I'm clearing
My mind, taking my time to invest in healing
It's appealing, the neon lights, the money and women
But a house is not a home, unless you got that feeling
God fearing, and I'm family first
Unless the hurt and the pain makes the family worse
You know the name when the gospel outweighs the heavy
Or when salat is not enough, and the temple is empty
I knew plenty of sinners born into the faith of Allah
And even more Christians who fall from the grace of God
But when you face the odds, Jewish, Muslim or Catholic
You pray the same way as the Baptist
I'm not the average, catch this, more God than man,
Yet you preying on those who pray to understand
Talkin religion and wrong doing
We all human, facing these choices, we all goin through it
But what you gon do, when judgment day isn't just in case
Would you continue to pray if it falls through
It's on you, to discern, light too bright and burns
Purgatory between the sun and the center of the earth
What's it worth, can't close your eyes to the danger
Son beaming from the manger
We guardian angels

Revolution, more Martin than Malcolm
Ain't televised, I wonder what's the outcome
We sit with privileges and power
Black people in Ivory towers
Properly positioned between police and protests, We protect
A doctrine of discovery, Instead of trauma and recovery
My dreams no longer comforting
So I stay woke, praying seems too simple
Complexity of these issues are weighing on my mental
I write for therapy on instrumentals
Some people don't have that, they lab rats, that's buying into
This dangerous duality, 1% fallacy
99% of the others, participating passively
And those who are active, catch a backlash
We chained to whips, that's slavery, free at last
Cant see it fast, they got wool over ya eyes
Religion and politics are not blessings in disguise

Thank God for my sins
Thank God for my pen
Thank God for the hardest times
The darkest dawns and the heartless dimes
Harshest weed, when you lost that fade and lost that fight
Lost my mind, artist shit, anxiety been inside of me
Therefore, for my therapy I harness rhymes
From the parking lot and park where I reside
Slept inside my Honda, see my address was outside
Up all night, bumping Pac and Nas
Felt like God in his prime
I'm just us in this league of ours
So my little green light shine, shimmer, flicker
Through the brightest day and darkest dawn nigga
Marvel at these bars, marvel at these balls
Wait, I can't these planets in my palms
Solar system on my charm, solar sister on my arm
Your lil sister on my Instagram
Catching all this knowledge that I'm kicking fam
See I'm dropping out of college spittin
Like I graduated with my PHD, what's the definition of me, I mean
Like the average you won't get that
I pass it back to Paul Willis
He told me Luke, get this track, murk it this the intro
I was like, Oh word... it's nothin

Hahaha, word Luke, just sing on em man, quit rapping right now and sing on em man
I see the God in the you, I see the God in me, We are the Guardians, na na
