Ne-Yo - Genesis Lyrics






In order for a man to know where he's going, he must first know where he's been. Respecting his past, honoring his present, thus creating his future. Genesis

Genesis, oh genesis, ay
I know pain and I know pleasure
High and low and everything in-between
And through the madness of my life for whatever
My music's always been there for me
I'm the one they talk about
My ego, my attitude
Sage, why they gotta be so nasty?
Why they gotta be so rude?
They don't know about my life
They don't know what I've been through
But if you don't know, want to know
Then let me show you

Welcome to my genesis, to where I started from
How I became the man that I've become
This is my genesis, back to where I started from
Take it right back to the top cause I ain't done (my genesis)

When I was rolling round in my hood (genesis)
Ay, young and up to no good (genesis)
Streets was calling my name (genesis)
And then that music came and saved my life, my life
Oh, my inspiration, my muse
Music made it all right, all right
Hey, who are you that I can't lose

Welcome to my genesis, to where I started from
How I became the man that I've become (oh)
This is my genesis, back to where I started from
Take it right back to the top, take it right back to the top, oh
My genesis, back to where I started from
How I came up, how I got my name up
How I blew this game up
My genesis, back to where I started from
Take it right back to the top cause I ain't done now (genesis)

    CAUTION: KNOWLEDGE HAS ENTERED THE IGNORANCE TRAIN!!!!!

    It's amazing of how all of you people like to point point samplings and call it unoriginal, when in fact every artist has sampled from another artist. Whether it was lyrics or the beat, every artist samples. It doesn't mean that there is no artistic integrity or creativity, it is just twisting something that someone else created and made it into a new thing or to just create a nostalgic feeling in those who remember those times where that artist was prevalent. Besides, with sampling the artist or their family get royalties for another artist using a part of the song under the copyrighted law. So.....



    KNOWLEDGE HAS NOW EXITED THE IGNORANCE TRAIN.

  25. A.... H....

    It's my prerogative. I smell a lawsuit.

    Sounds like a Teddy Riley/Bobby Brown Production... MY PREROGATIVE! Ne-Yo just missing the SHOUT out @ the end! I wouldn't be surprised if Ted produced this.

    Neyo needs to stop making these hip hop club music. He is much much better making those love songs from the early 2010.

  55. D.... W....

    Kudos to Ne-Yo and Bruno Mars for bringing back that New Jack Swing sound back to this generation. They make Teddy Riley so very proud!!
