"Gene" lyrics
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Grass is always greener on the other side I get it
Philadelphia, the borough where I did it
Now I'm healthier, I'm happy to admit it
For all the casualties I'm beggin' your forgiveness
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ha, ah, uh, uh
Gene sauntered into the bar I wantin to slaughter
He made a real show of not dappin when it was offered
The way he ducked my hand and he might as well have just slapped it
I knew then and there something bloody was gonna happen
I only really knew him through B, who was in prison on a gun and drug charge
I'm a felon I couldn't visit
So me and Gene weren't really close
He's an acquaintance, but the general consensus on him was that he was a gangster
He also used to bully me in middle school, I don't think he remembered that
He spent the whole night cold grilling me from the other side
If the stories about him were true, I'd be a homicide
He approached me last call, he's ready to blast off
I'm clutching my pint glass, hoping he's got a glass jaw
That's when he said something nobody should say
Unless you got all the facts then you can back up the claim
He said, you know you're a snitch
And with that he started to swing
I smashed the pint glass on his head and somebody screamed
Blood pouring, his ear dangling by a piece of meat
Back then, it wasn't smart to go for a piece of me
That's when I noticed my own hand bleeding
I started licking it up while staring at it retreating
Alright, here's what happened
See, there's this other boy, his name's JJ
Flipped his car off Marshall Street with a bunch of dope on him
Crawled from the wreckage and when he did an arrest was made
This other J.J. got shook and gave a whole list of names
So Gene heard J.J. snitched on B
And the only J.J. that Gene knows is me
So I'm willing to bet next time he'll do a little diligence
Having his ear sewn back on might have showed him humility
I don't know
Grass is always greener on the other side I get it
Philadelphia, the borough where I did it
Now I'm healthier, I'm happy to admit it
For all the casualties I'm beggin' your forgiveness
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ha, ah, uh, uh
