[The Genius a.k.a. Genius/GZA]
Yo, I rock the mic at any party
And in the place to be
I'm a true, true fresh MC
I'm a true fresh MC
I work real hard to achieve my goal
From buildin to bringin out my true inner soul
Which was once on a downfall and then uplifted
Why live life foul when you're talented and gifted
I've changed, rearranged my total direction
Searchin for happiness, seekin for perfection
Livin the true life, a real story
To make you realize the truth, not scream glory
Glory hallelujah, not here to fool ya
But to replenish your souls as I school ya
With a greeting of Purified Education Always Correcting Errors which stops the temptation
Of you doin wrong singin the same sad song
Renewing bad histories for how long
A long long time ago
Going for mine made The Genius a pro
And as you see who I be
I be The Genius and I'm a true MC
Now who rocks the mic at any party
And in the place to be
Yo we have a Genius, a true fresh MC
A true fresh MC
Who rocks the mic at any party
And in the place to be
Yo we have a Genius, a true fresh MC
A true fresh MC
Brothers need to study some lessons
They are the blessins to keep you from guessin
The question that is asked by the seeker
Put on the beat and let me born it through the speaker
Peace, a lot of MCs like to say it
And some that advocate it they just spray it
Out and scream and shout, beyond the shadow of a doubt
They don't know what it's about
I'm just to keep you informed with the significance
How can I prove this through true evidence
Some make me laugh, think they droppin math
Show and provin is a difficult path
Within the five percent, I am the live percent
Those who perpetrate are jive percent
I be the universal, the biochemical Arm Leg Leg Arm Head is the physical
That keeps rhymin til it's unbearable
No individual is comparable
You have a problem, inform the technician
But he's not dealin with those of superstition
Those who like dealin with it superstitiously
Cross your fingers when you steppin to me
I don't need beefs and problems, riffs and static
Debates and arguments that's not dramatic
I need action, it speaks louder than a word
Especially when the word is loud but unheard
Word is what? My word is bond, your word is bull
Now it's your card I'm gonna pull
Now who rocks the mic at any party
And in the place to be
Yo we have a Genius, a true fresh MC
A true fresh MC
Who rocks the mic at any party
And in the place to be
We have a Genius, a true fresh MC
A true fresh MC
