Wanna slip into infinity, I just gotta have you here with me. You don’t have to do a damn thing, It don’t matter where we’re goin’. Sink in deep into this tapestry, Easy come and easy flow with me. Can’t control it we just fall in; ‘Fore we know it we’ll be all in.

Dear BB&J - I bolted into you faster than Jackie Joyner Kersie and my mind’s been on a treadmill ever since; I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you; I keep chasing this vision of your silhouette strolling off sweetly into the horizon. That’s got me feeling a bit more human lately, medical grade and champagne help me formulate the thoughts of you I can’t explain — I pace the guts of hollow rooms filled to the brim with tension in anticipation, contemplating your greatness and etching my sins into the skin of paper. It’s like my pen grew feet - and I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you. How many times have I took to the fields of my mind to let my thoughts of you run wild and free, like Bounds and leaps from mountain peaks with promises of flight, Can we get much higher than this? Can we run into the sun like newfound God and Goddess? I sprint to conclusions of happy endings my BB&J- And I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you, like marathon, like nonstop, like a stallion in full blown gallop happily off the edge of the cliff, and if the end does come, well, I’d be willing to fall for you again, just to reincarnate and run into you again, my soul once more finds a beautiful friend and sparring partner in Heart to heart combat, I battle the pace you create but I can’t fake the effect you make, yuh. No lie, you got my heart beat, my heart Beats 3x Faster, please pass the baton backwards if you have to honey, but in the meantime, Ima let you run it, cuz you should already know... I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you, my BB&J

Over It 05:23
Feel I got myself In a funk and I gotta get up Can’t control myself Can’t hold back and I gotta get over it yeah It’s times like these that I say, I’m gonna change it up my way It’s gonna take some time, take some time to know who you are Why have I been waiting for so long To sing my own song This is one thing I’m sure of Somethin’s beautiful about the words Over it, over it, over it [Instrumental] Now I’m feelin' myself Steppin' into the funk and I gotta get up Start the groove, make you move, it don’t matter what you do, but ya gotta get up It’s times like these that I know, I’m steppin into that good flow I’m over it, movin on, gotta hold on to that beat, and I’ll do it right now Why have I been waiting for so long To sing my own song This is one thing I’m sure of Something’s beautiful about the words Over it, over it, over it Over it, over it, over it yeah

VERSE Caught you standin, staring at me And I don’t know why Think your something, something to me And I don’t know why The thought is there But it might not mean what you want it to, no And if you want me, take all of me That’s the only way PRE Tell me is this for real Tell me how do you feel CHORUS Find your way into my heart Don’t me shy this could go off Feelin like this is the start, of a long embrace Let me look into your eyes VERSE I see you round All over town And it seems cliche But it don’t gotta stay that way Gotta step up, step into it Cause if not I’m movin on Lookin at your only chance, only chance To see what you can mean to me PRE Tell me is this for real Tell me how do you feel CHORUS Find your way into my heart Don’t be shy this could go off Feelin like this is the start, of a long embrace Let me look into your eyes

about

GENR8R's debut album "Music for People" was forged with intentions not unlike the album title would suggest. With this musical offering, GENR8R is adding steam to a movement - a new vein in music known as Neo-Funk. Here, elements of Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk and Hip-Hop co-exist in harmony and serve to move people with music that is conscious and downright groovy!
