Expensive Genes - Phonte

Alright we need to check your height.

Uh-huh.

Ok

Let me get your weight.

Ok.

Uh-uh

Ha, I think we can do a little bit better than that.

We’ll talk.

Ok?

Your cholesterol is looking kinda high but, ah we’re going to work on that.

Ah, let’s take your blood pressure

Are you in any pain?

Seven days in a week

Eat a steak every plate, it’s a feast

Watch your weight, no mistakes in the least

Or else you too will dig a grave with your teeth

I wish I that I could fit in these expensive genes

A waistline that’ll rip the seams

And pharmaceuticals that sit between ya heart medicine

Cough medicine, blood thinners and antihistamines

We got the ocean front view but scope is so limited

'Cause young niggas be dyin' of old nigga shit

Wifey sleepin' in the guest room 'cause you snore at night

It’s like 40 years old is ¾ life

Our biggest fears were shots or armed robbery

Now the biggest fears are clots and oncology

Got a sleep app to tell you you got sleep apnea

He all in your sheets with a CPAP

Wish that I could fit in these expensive genes

I don’t like this cut, it’s like the Lord got my order wrong

3am, stress eating, laying down on it

Now ya blood sugar is borderline Bordelon

Seen 'em rise, I seen 'em fall

I’ve seen the dreams of fiends and scenes of war

Inside my mind, it ain’t nothin' serene, it’s called Blackness

The most expensive gene of all

Ok, I see.

I see.

Alright, uh

We need to good look at your family history

Yes, your family history.

I know it may be a little difficult
