[Verse 1: James Revels III]
Day One, I invent paper
Then look around I found myself on a college ruled acre
Looking east, I go there and prepare
To get sustenance from vegetables shout out to nature
Day Two, I invent pencils
Then trace my brain, outlined on the page with a stencil
Puffing lentils between dentals before Popeye;
Laser focused on nowhere with my blind hawk eyes
Day Three, I invent Rhythm. I'm that guy
The whole ecosystem bobbing head with him
Visions of the future seems my creator hid them
“Seconds. Where y'all going?” I'm starting to miss them
Day Four, I invent poetry
Before Yiruma, I found the flow in me
Other animal ridicule; jokingly
Then I destroy the close minded, openly
[Hook: James Revels III]
One day I'm made from the clay of Ca**ius
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes
This is the revelation of my genesis
This is the revelation of my genesis
One day I'm made from the clay of Ca**ius
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes
This is the revelation of my genesis
This is the revelation of my genesis
[Verse 2: James Revels III]
Day Five, I invent melody
To give my words time to play with some company
Add a little counterpoint and a couple timpanis
Then accidentally smoke a whole forest. Hickory
Day Six, I invent Hip hop
From there, I figured that I would never stop
Now I don't know who it was who invented pop or country
It's not me so hold the phone
Day Seven, I invent the microphone
Hmm. I wonder
That was me thinking I should invent the first song
And that song is what's been playing all along
Day Eight, I invent humans
To give a way this soul food that they're consuming
After putting my elaborate plan to movement
I fade away to nirvana with my favorite Buddhist
[Hook: James Revels III]
One day I'm made from the clay of Ca**ius
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes
This is the revelation of my genesis
This is the revelation of my genesis
One day I'm made from the clay of Ca**ius
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes
This is the revelation of my genesis
This is the revelation of my genesis
[Verse 3: James Revels III]
Invented paper to savor this emotion
Wrote this genesis of rhetoric, unlike electric can't resist
This sets the precedence for the rest of this dissonance
I'll speak this stream of consciousness even without an audience
Heart of a lion cloaked in a brown human pelt
Mind your business. Enjoy your ride on conveyor belts
What do you when everyone wants to escape?
While I'm on a mission to go find myself and relate
Sleep is for the dead, I'll live forever so I'm restless
Me, myself and I the only one on this guest list
Party of one. Celebrating our essence
Not a graven image that we paint for the ma**es
Can't accept your bills your social currency is counterfeit
Died ten times. I'm out of lives now that I think of it
The conclusion, I've included is a great revelation
Every ending's followed by the light of a genesis
