raye - genesis. - live at montreux jazz festival كلمات الأغنية

[part i]

[verse]
they say the twenties are the best years of your life
but i seem to be spending mine missing sunsets
’cause i’m busy on my phone observing everyone else
how i compare and obsess
just me, my phone, and these walls
and i’ve been sober for some months
but i can feel the demons waiting on my downfall
since i’m so ugly and irrelevant
i’ve been losing friends as if i’m tryna get rid of them
i googled why i’m still desperate for validation and sedatives, huh
callin’ men who don’t give a f_ck about me
then when my mother called i pretend i’m busy
i’m tryna end up anywhere except from where i been
curtains closed, bed bound, amphetamines
mmm, and this devil on my shoulder, man, i’m tryna to shake him off
my ex is on my timeline, it’s as if he’s showing off
my self_esteem is facetune and ring lights
my ego is conquering new heights

[pre_chorus]
i think i need some (think i need some)
do you need some? (do you need some?)
don’t we all need some (we all need some)
light? (let there be light)
da_da_da, da_da_da (there’ll be light)
i think i need some (think i need some)
i lied, i don’t think i (know i need some)
i need some light (some sweet sunshine)
to feel alright (please, let there be light)
[part ii]

[chorus]
i see a sad little sinner in the mirror
the devil works hard like my liver
i don’t wanna be alive, but i don’t wanna die
a fistful of pills, you’re a n0body

[post_chorus]
yeah (uh_uh), yeah (uh, uh_uh), yeah
yeah_yeah_yeah_yeah (uh, uh_uh)
(let there be light)
yeah (uh_uh), yeah (uh, uh_uh), yeah
yeah_yeah_yeah_yeah

[verse 1]
bang_bang, that’s depression at the door again
you know he’ll beat the door down till you let him in the room
since you are already acquainted, you skip the foreplay
he grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed
you try to muster a flare, to tell somebody you’re sinking
but anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips
a whiskey bottle, it whispers, since you’re already bitter
a c_cktail fit for a quitter, “come here and give me a kiss”

[chorus]
i see a sad little sinner in the mirror
the devil works hard like my liver
i don’t wanna be alive, but i don’t wanna die
a fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
i’ve got nothin’ left to lose, dear god in the sky
hear my cry, hear my cry
when it’s too dark to see
let there be light, let there be light
let there be light
[post_chorus]
yeah (uh_uh), yeah (uh, yeah_yeah), yeah
yeah_yeah_yeah_yeah (uh, uh_uh)
(let there be light)
yeah (uh_uh), yeah (uh, yeah_yeah), yeah
yeah_yeah_yeah_yeah (uh, uh_uh)

[verse 2]
yes, i edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
and make my ass look bigger so that i’m someone you aspire to (you aspire to)
let me in your algorithm, please
i know i’ll only be important if i’m someone you would like, follow, share, and subscribe to
if you’re thirsty like me (like me)
mix some pity with some self_hate
stir it up, then add twelve ounces of rosé
that’s how i make the glass half_empty and drink it down

[verse 3]
beneath the curse words and the insecurities
here lies a sorry little soul
and she doesn’t even know what to pray for
still just a heart_broke b_tch
but i traded the back of the nightclub, i did, for the bathroom floor
i wish i could call my ex
he would know just what to say (he don’t say nothing at all now)
brings a tear to my eye
the only thing i rely on him to do is stay declining my calls now
[chorus]
i see a sad little sinner in the mirror
the devil works hard, like my liver
i don’t wanna be alive, but i don’t wanna die
a fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
i’ve got nothin’ left to lose, dear god in the sky
hear my cry, hear my cry
when it’s too dark to see (let there be light)
let there be light, let there be light
let there be light

[bridge]
little girls that have no self_esteem
a little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets
a girl i used to walk to school with
took her life, now rest in peace (rest in peace)
fake democracy, k!lling overseas
k!lling ourselves, suicide
government lies, discrimination
hating ourselves
why hope? why keep going? why try? (why?)
genesis one, verse three, i’ll dry my eyes
the only thing which darkness cannot coexist is the light

[chorus]
i see a sad little sinner in the mirror
the devil works hard like my liver
i don’t wanna be alive, but i don’t wanna die
a fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
i’ve got nothin’ left to lose, dear god in the sky
hear my cry, would you hear my cry?
when it’s too dark to see (let there be light)
let there be light, let there be light
let there be light

[part iii]

[intro]
yeah
no, no, no
i want that light, oh, ayy
(let there be light)
oh, let there be, oh
oh, that light

[chorus]
see, i want that light in my house (oh, let there be light)
i want that light in my car (oh, let there be light)
i want that light in my pain (oh, let there be light)
i want that light when it’s dark, dark, da_dark
oh, no, let there be (oh, let there be)
oh, let there be (oh, let there be)
oh, li_light
no, no, no, no, no, no, let there, let there be light

[verse]
for all the fathers and the teachers (working hard in the night)
for all the builders and the cleaners (i pray, “let there be light”)
oh, for all the farmers and the chefs and the train_drivers, yes
the nurses and the doctors, god bless the nhs
let the pay rise, let the pay rise up
let there be li_li_li_light
for all those overworked and underpaid and dreams of somewhere out of sight
let there be light
single mother, all alone (she’s all alone)
the baby’s cryin’
and she’s cryin’ tears too, to her sister on the phone
bring her comfort, bring her peace
i pray lord, please, yeah, yeah

[bridge]
da_da_doo, da_doo, da_doo, da_doo, doo_doo_doo, doo_doo_doo
(now that’s what i’m talking about)
oh, let there be
lord, let there be
don’t we all need a little?

[chorus]
see, i want that, that light in my house, (oh, let there be light)
i want that light in my car, yeah (oh, let there be light)
i want that light in my dreams, yeah, doo_de
oh, baby, light all the dark, yes
light up the dark, lord (oh, let there be light)
let there be light, lord

[outro]
doo_doo_doo, doo_doo_doo, doo_doo_doo, doo_doo_doo
do_do_do, do_do_do, do_do_do
ooh, hey
thank you
alright, that was my very intense, seven minute song called “genesis.”
hope you enjoyed it
thank you so much
