[Verse 1:]
1-9-74 was the year mommy and daddy had created a monster
The funny looking kid from the suburbs, and refurbished genius 'cause nobody wants to
Cook up a musical recipe - left it to me so I 1'ma have to give it what I got left of me
'Cause if I left it up to (ya-'all)
Most of ya'll would probably drop the (ba-all)
I be raping these records lately, and ya'll ain't trying
You say celibate, but I ain't buying
No we can't baby baby
That crazy world maybe maybe
And don't be caring they hate me
And if you staring it maybe-be-be
Blinding, 'cause I'm a supernova, I'm shining
The tippy-top is where I'm residing
So if I gotta Rescue Ranger it, picture painter it
Whoops! I left my stain in it (I AM!)
[Chorus:]
Genius!
Genius! (I am!)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
[Bridge 1:]
Take this session, as a blessing
His confession, keep 'em guessing
He's the best in, his profession
He's professin', learn the lesson
[Verse 2:]
IF E equals mc (squared)
I'm an MC (squared)
No comparison (stare)
I'm a therapist
Dare you to listen
Now pay attention
How can I mention, your music paralysis!?
Beckon 'em, (Come here!)
Lyrically I'm checkin' 'em
Tellin' 'em: (Get over here!)
Way too far too left on 'em
The best since my conception,
Put ya antennas in my direction!
Give me an inch and a lead and it's over
I've been a sidekick, now I'm taking over
Never believed that a team, me could lead 'em
Now they salute when they see 'em (I AM!)
[Chorus:]
Genius!
Genius! (I am!)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
[Bridge 2:]
I've been different all my life for a reason
Waiting to attack in my season
And I'm a be here, never leavin'
This is the reason I'm breathing
[Bridge 1:]
Take this session, as a blessing
His confession, keep 'em guessing
He's the best in, his profession
He's professin', learn the lesson
[Chorus:]
Genius!
Genius! (I am!)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
Genius! (Don't you know my nigga)
