FROM BACK IN THE DAY

Verse 1
I'm only here for the music miss me with the hype I was born and the midwife hit me with a mic.
Ever since then I'm been killing em nice can't lie novelist this riddem is tight.
Let me give these MC's a bit of advice clash Genesis better tek your vitamins twice im a villainous writer the venomous type get your head ripped off and your ligaments sliced.
I'm really not a violent person but on this mic I'm a mercenary and once the verse is ready I recite it perfect rhymings my work I'm providing service.
So when I walk by they're nervous they got far but I've been the furthest I've been immersed in the game I was first in line spitting lines when they were emerging.
Stay in your lane no merging lyrics back I lead the resurgence I'm a king I don't eat with servants expensive taste can't eat what you're serving.
Shout to my Cardiff peeps what's occurring don't care what you're spending G what you earning.
Get XL to sign me I'll put the work in my flow's never been beat it's a virgin.
Used to work in Virgin Megastore them were them old days stegosaur you don't get that abstract metaphor man the roads know me like we met before.
Mi nah walk with no tek wha you tek me for expect the best from me that's what they respect for.
Every year you can see gen on tour on my way to the top already set the course.

Hook
From back in the day I've been setting the pace from them days I was tryna get my demo on tape
can't lie looking back I made many mistakes
But now it's genesis Elijah's killing every stage.

Verse 2
Gunshot means forward course I'm forward thinking always thinking forward my instincts four moves a head I'm two bars in but I'm four bars ahead it's all business.
But it's always fun too if it wasn't a wouldn't do it and why would I want to all started with a mic check one two now we get our bags checked fly out to some new.
Country I ain't been before but they know my lyrics and they sing them all they say music don't sell like it did before but I'm good right now and I was good before.
Book me if you wanna see how the good perform I'm on form I'm formidable I cook the storm.
Of course I'm pure lyrical viktor vaughn with no mask shout task force hit the floor.
They say I'm underrated I don't agree those who know what I'm under rate it.
And my work rate is second to none my pace is dangerous kill a stage at a hundred paces.
Kill a sound boy with a hundred pages beast on a dub plate while my hunger rages break out of cages then I hunt the playlist unsigned right now but I'm loved by majors.
Still independent still post track on Twitter tryna get my rent it
still frustrated using tracks to vent it when you question me I might act defensive.
Cos sometimes I feel like my backs against it and you don't get why it's that expensive
Cos I just put my heart and soul on a track you act like it ain't that impressive.

Hook
From back in the day I've been setting the pace from them days I was tryna get my demo on tape
can't lie looking back I made many mistakes
But now it's genesis Elijah's killing every stage.
