[Verse 1]
This is my namesake- rap name Token Genius
If you don't get the meaning, well it's painstaking
Say the whole thing, just Token's demeaning
And in case you need it explained plainly
Black folk ain't monolith
We don't all walk or all talk or all act in the same way
Thought back in college you'd see me in populace
And learn to not make the same mistake
Wasn't there to educate you on race relations
Or I would've upped pay grades
Don't forget tenure, this year to rеmember
We all know somе who didn't make the grade
I'm Black and I'm proud, I can hear it now
Other loners out there singing James today
Airing all grievances, aerosol all
And it ain't no Febreze when I aim and spray

[Chorus]
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every track is my only aim
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
Kill your career just to hear your own name
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every thought of doubt that remains
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
You can't kill us when our culture sustains

[Verse 2]
I had to dig deep in my vault
Memories I locked away or tried to spin in a positive way
Now rattle the cage whenever they come up in my thoughts
Learning some lessons from microaggressions
And stereotypes, all the lies taught
Think I was tested and never addressed it
I'm guessing that it's partly my fault
Greatest failure of my twenties was carrying my adolescence around a lot
White dude would ask to say nigga
I tried to be bigger and just say "He's wild sloshed"
Joking like "Yo homie", "Token", whatever
And I never checked 'em, that time's lost
This is my reckoning, done with the reticence
I'm exceptional in my songs

[Chorus]
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every track is my only aim
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
Kill your career just to hear your own name
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every thought of doubt that remains
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
You can't kill us when our culture sustains
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every track is my only aim
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
Kill your career just to hear your own name
Fuck the bullshit, I'm married to the game
Killing every thought of doubt that remains
Fuck the money, y'all married to the fame
You can't kill us when our culture sustains
