Genesis Owusu - The Roach Lyrics

Genesis Owusu Lyrics

"The Roach"

Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?

I was trapped
Trapped!
Trapped in the black
I'm a roach, don't knock me on my back
Legs in the air, hope God don't attack
Not tryna see my head on the plaque
Always watched but never seen
Said my skin was never clean
Tried to turpentine me
Only fit for the fiends
Said the popes and the queens
I'm the king of the unseen

Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Stay back
No, I don't play that
Like I'm not jaded
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?
Why you say that shit?

Feeling like Gregor Samsa
A bug in the cog of a grey-walled cancer
I'm tryna break free with a penciled stanza
So are we human or are we dancer?
I'ma waste a life tryna chase an answer
A big-boy suit with a paid-for candour
We all just comics tryna place a lander
For the pests I'm the great commander
(The roach, the roach)
The roach!

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la
Fear the roach
Love the roach
Fear the roach
Love the roach
Fear the roach
Love the roach
Fear the roach
Love the roach
