"Rainbow Child" lyrics

This for my city where the trees grow
This for the children of an immigrant
Came here for a better life
And did things only real heroes did
This for that little girl in school
Her real name was Genesis
She felt like a boy inside
And thought up ways to be a prince

This for that feeling when she got home
It wasn't safe to be a kid
So she built up throne of lies
To behave not innocent
This for that one fan listening
Who doesn't feel so good today
Stay with us
This deep feeling of peace
Doesn't roll in right away, but it will

This for that pupil in your eye
It deserves to see the sky
This for that note you hit when you laugh
I'd like to hear that freedom sigh
This for the joy you get when you dance alone inside your room
If I was up above, far gone
I'd come back to dance with you
This is for you

All I need is a rainbow child
To set this world on fire
All I am is a rainbow child
To set this world on fire

This is for that chain you can't afford
It doesn't represent your soul
This for those bitches and those hoes
That's not you, those aren't your words
This for that chariot that comes
When all your days are all well spent
I know you came down this time
So why wouldn't you come again?

I roll around with my demons
We knock lamps onto the floor
I start a fire inside my mind
I think my story can't be told
I've rapped about my pussy
And I've rapped about my ex
But what would you do if I gave you me
And just talked 'bout Genesis?
