[Verse 1: 7xvethegenius]
How you supposed to feel when everybody call you the one?
And you're like three days, two cents down on your luck
Number seven was a lesson and a valuable one
But a heavy crown adds more like you carry the one (Carry the one)
I got dreams to find a king and then marryin' one (Marryin' one)
Probably make the Holy Trinity, The Father and Son (Uh)
They tell me "7xve, you out of line"
I say, "I know where I'm at" (I know where I'm at)
I packed my hope and all my hustle in a bag whеn I left
They wanna put me in a box, so thеy'll be boxin' me out
I gotta play the game 'cause all this shit's Monopoly now
I bought a car and bought a puppy thinking that was the piece
Until I picked him up, went down and put him back on his feet
I put a ribbon on decisions and then rap on beats
I'm in this bitch with such precision, ain't none after I leave (Uh)
I tell the story of the ghetto and what's left of the hoe
Sometimes I wish my ancestors weren't captured on boats
'Cause who am I when you decide what my worth is? (Huh?)
You don't know what these scars cost me, this shit perfect (7xve)
I've always had dreams, didn't know I deserve shit (Nah)
Cause we come from the streets, 'naw mean, on some curb shit ('Naw mean?)
It's making me nervous, they telling me I'm better than you
I'm still seeing imperfections, I'm just tellin' the truth
That might be misdirection from not havin' a lead (7xve)
It took a while to see what I was after was me (What I was after was me)
And when they find out who I am I don't want attention
Just put me with the GOATs when my name is finally mentioned
My mother was in the kitchen, my father as not around
He missed him a couple steps, this ain't no Bobby Brown
I really know how this sound
It sound like I'm 'posed to be here
I'm scannin' a rapper down, he food and he groceries here
We not used to luxury here, been down for a couple of years
But, bitch when I’m finally up, there won't be no touchin' me there
I gotta go
Heavenly throttle with model bitches and bottles
Who only after the money, and flippin' that shit, follow
I'm 'bout to give what I wished y'all would have did with this shit
I watched, study and sit and y'all makin' me sick
And nah, I'm none of this
And nah, I'm none of that
So y'all can hold all the applause
'Cause when they clap where I'm from
The curtains close and you done
I heard a couple of shots, I said I only need one
Is y'all stressing me done?
Do y'all know what this is?
My Aunt Stephanie's son was shot down as a kid
My big cousin a blood, my best friend was a crip
And he just got forty and he does not live
Now this all here for me, man, I deserve this shit
I'm tellin' the sheep that I be leadin' "y’all ain’t heard this shit"
Except for this evening told Skeese don't know what nervous is
Man, n***as dyin' everyday, we gotta murder this shit (We gotta murder this shit)
7xve
[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna touch on my life (Verse off, to get the hurt off, uh)
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna speak on my life, just gonna speak on my life, 7xve (Verse off, hurt off)
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna talk on my life (Verse off, hurt off)
I really gotta get the verse off, I'm gettin' hurt off everytime that I write (Everytime that I write)

[Verse 2: Jae Skeese]
Yo yo, yo yo
I be feelin' like failin' is not a choice in my list of options (Why?)
I'm fifteen plus in this shit, no way that the kid is novice
Been goin' hard for this long and n***as is still unconscious
Ain't never take verses off, I constantly spit obnoxious (C'mon)
I do this shit for the city, I know that there's n***as watchin’ (Yeah)
My family never was there, sometimes I feel adopted (Shit is crazy)
That's why I focused on me, I never had a lot of support
Left out in cold when n***as lockin' their doors
Shit, I kinda was lost
I had a label I was rockin' with at 14 (What?)
That moved to Atlanta, their whole studio, they took the whole thing (What?)
With all my files of music, I was just feelin' stupid
Like could I go forward with this dream that I been pursuin'? (Ah, man)
I moved to Syracuse in 2015, thinkin' that I was done with flowin' (What?)
'Cause for so many years I went unnoticed
I mean, certain cats would come to my shows and come support it (Uh-huh)
'Cause everything I recorded was about as hard as a fortress (Talk that talk)
But Broadway Joe's would have me seein' Broadway dough
I’m tryna sling raps like broadway dope (Uh-huh)
I had a motherfucker tell me I could open for Pusha
Said he had just got off the phone with his manager (What?)
He booked him, had me hyped 'til I found out it was cap in his story (Ah, man)
As time went on, too many holes and gaps in his story (Ah, man)
Shortcomings I had to endure, had passion for more
Then I was given my decision, go after them all
Look
[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna touch on my life (Verse off, to get the hurt off, uh)
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna speak on my life (Verse off, hurt off)
I really gotta get a verse off to get the hurt off
Just gonna talk on my life (Verse off, hurt off)
I really gotta get the verse off, I'm gettin' hurt off everytime that I write (Everytime that I write, 7xve)
