Geno..
Erryday im back breaking, slaving, sweats cascading for taxed wages Outrageous, IRS denies my checks and witholds for back payments Sad -ain't it, that my salary caps some teenage dollar bill hourly crap I'd panhandle the corner, but my pride keeps on overpowering that What would my daughter think, how could she be proud of her dad.. if I was holding a sign saying please, help me out with some cash I ain't about to collapse, I'm bout to commit acts of a drowning father Bothered, oatmeal, tell these fucking people why I'm about to hollar! Oats.. the world revolves around the dollar, a dictated direction so make the connection - "paper thin" measures how money shapes its dimensions the Earth is flat again! we're slaves to this globalization deception that distorts our perception; we live in a Mercator projection crave the perfection, it's motivation for consumerist bidding just synthetic value, like your answer to "what do you do for a living?" it doesn't matter, as long as you stay true to the mission: work tirelessly so you can pay your dues to the system Geno.. that's a stupid depiction, but the goddamn truth is your right Its far from unscrutable, your whole point of view is to fight Intuitive types, but not a very suitable life for everybody I know Cause most hungry people really can't stomache the blows I've studied the ropes, and id survive where others would fail Cause I can do without food, while other mutha fuckaz are frail The kind of dust I've inhailed could break a mans lungs apart From the start ive gone hard, but what about the ones who's soft Oats.. hunger hawks over them - compared to comfort costs? Soberin' when we could feed em easy with our weekly pumps of petroleum but that argument's far from cogent when your strapped in the rat wheel workin 9 to 9 you don't have time to imagine how that feels tragic but that's real, at least it's the reality we've permitted too passive with our positions, the gravity of indifference sadly it's what we live with, imbalance that's clear as day they say money comes and goes, but poverty's here to stay

THIS IS FIRE.... Geno set it off nicely with a personal perspective of his job and being a working father... good flow and great passion both expressed... then oats backed it with a pragmatic narration of the whole economic system.. I was really feelng this on a flow and lyrical level and a personal one too..

I liked this a lot. You played off each other and balanced each other. Oats' sections stood out because he was flying above while Genocide brought things back to the ground level, which was important because that's how we entered in. I've been listening to some old OutKast, so my natural comparison here would be to Dre and Big Boi back on ATLiens.
