Genesis lyrics - Ne-Yo

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, back 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, back 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)
