Genesis Knights
I wake up in a world dystopian, where the rubble’s out of sight
Where you will never see the damage done, ‘cuz it’s drowned out by the lights
But it’s the hand that rocks my world, it is the spitting in my face
It is the knife against my throat, but I’ll live my life anyway

Live, life, it’s a struggle to survive
Live, life, it’s a struggle to survive

If you’d walk a mile in my shoes
You would see what I’ve got to lose
Why I raise my fist and shout
‘Cuz I see my loved ones hit the ground
Walk a mile in my shoes
Then you’ll see what I get to choose
It’s either living hand to mouth
Or through the backdoor out

This is reality for me

I’m sick of standing my ground, every night and day
I’m done hoping that the next man passing by won’t kill me
They all preach humanity
But the saints become the beasts
When the lights go out
Ignorance fills their lungs with hatred

Live, life, it’s a struggle to survive
Live, life, it’s a struggle to survive

If you’d walk a mile in my shoes
You would see what I’ve got to lose
Why I raise my fist and shout
‘Cuz I see my loved ones hit the ground
Walk a mile in my shoes
Then you’ll see what I get to choose
It’s either living hand to mouth
Or through the backdoor out

When the world says; You’re on your own
We’ll scream; You’re never alone!
You’re never alone!

This is the story of the people who saved me, in the streets doing rough
This is the story of the man who raised me, even though I know I’ll never be enough
They taught me to be humble, to fight the unjust
I’ve lost some lives along the road, and all the pain has knocked me numb
But’s it’s the reason why I don’t give up
I don’t live for the sake of it
‘Cuz honestly I should be dead
Whether through violence or myself
And still at night I go through hell
But know there’s more than you and me
There is a world that you don’t see
Where families torn apart
Raise children with big hearts

If you’d walk a mile in my shoes
You would see what I’ve got to lose
Why I raise my fist and shout
‘Cuz I see my loved ones hit the ground
Walk a mile in my shoes
Then you’ll see what I get to choose
I’m sick of living hand to mouth
But I won’t take the backdoor out
