Lyrics

[Intro: 7xvethegenius] I put right foot 'front my left foot My right foot, left foot 'front my right (Huh) I put my hands up, fell down, crawled through, was kicked back Stood up for my life (Uh) I stood up for my life, life I stood up for my life, life Mhm, huh [Verse 1: 7xvethegenius] I could give you twelve albums 'bout my bars and quotes Another eight about the shit I didn't have when broke Another black kid strugglin' in this half a joke But even more tellin' a story 'bout a dash of hope Sprinkled on the fuck shit like they had laced my view Seldomly drip on, any shit, they couldn't place my shoe But if it fits, don't let it hit, you know the one to a twelve Thеy never switch, they been a snitch, just didn't want to with jail Whеre I'm from- you do a sixteen, whole block is the club And you can get with that too- not only a drug The field, shit gets real- hoe huddled with thugs sayin' "Who the best emcee? Benny, Conway or 7xve?" Playin' in my times- I rewind a line Some like fuck it, get high But these kind- it rhyme (Uh) I think about my life and what I've been through You gotta know I'm strong- some shit I conquered probably kill you, for real [Chorus: 7xvethegenius] I wrote my life down, notebooks filled up with pain I put the work in, through it all- still I remain And we was broke, so- gotta know, they'll never change You was right, though, charge it to another page I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' stage after stage And I gotta make a profit because they'll never change I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' plane after plane I was right, so, charge it to the days I was played, I put the work in [Verse 2: 7xvethegenius] The streets needed guidance, the hood needed hope Say the chick was down bad, I said good- give 'em both Had the needle in the tub, when she couldn't get the smoke Now now it's hood to the club to the [?] to the boat Truth be told, shit hurt way more than I show it But thank God I'm a poet, 'cause I'm never below it On my last, on my ass- they couldn't help me neither You can't get a hand out, n***** hand down they sneakers To get through, I lay my life down- but swear it's the truth Told the therapist- here I get it, airin' the booth I stare, I'm furious- where n***** [?] shoot That's why I carry this air, like I carry the truth 'Cause shoot, my mom was in the kitchen gamblin' dice Cousin on stove- that ain't no rice Bullet in home- duckin' for life handful of nights Put my wrongs into my rights I feel enclosed into my light I put my soul into my fight Then put my songs into the mic, 7xve [Chorus: 7xvethegenius] I wrote my life down, notebooks filled up with pain I put the work in, through it all- still I remain And we was broke, so- gotta know, they'll never change You was right, though, charge it to another page I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' stage after stage And I gotta make a profit because they'll never change I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' plane after plane I was right, so, charge it to the days I was played, I put the work in [Outro: 7xvethegenius] I put right foot 'front my left foot My right foot, left foot 'front my right (Keep goin') I put my hands up, fell down, crawled through, was kicked back (Huh) Stood up for my life I stood up for my life, life (7xve) I stood up for my life, life (The Genius)
