[Verse 1: Aaron Dews]
Yeah, man, I'm battlin', uh
I'm mad at this, the catalyst is flaccid passiveness
Passed through atoms, to the first Adam
You can see my pedigree is adamant
All the demons that my dad got I'm practicin'
Man, they callin' on me like Kaepernick
Can we break these chains? Man, imagine it
Can't fake this pain, man, it's taxin', man
Tee off, man, and tee off my head
Can't see off, can't see off the ledge
If you see more to that, yeah, T-Dot
He brew a lot, I pledge, but I barely eat off what I rap
I flee off the stat, yeah, why I like bad women?
Bad thoughts, bad vision, bad habits, bad days, why God?
When I look at how the apple fallin', it ain't that far
How am I supposed to look right at my seed and tell 'em that part
[Chorus: Battz]
Eithеr way
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA (Yeah)
It's just in my DNA (Ayy)
[Verse 2: Battz]
My father used to gang-bang
So I took thе S out and changed the last name
My father's father's father's father's sin passed to us all, watch it cascade, the best save
Throw all the demons inside of the Batcave
Battz a bad man and Battz a bad name
I take aim at the mainframe and change things
(They don't really hear what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Like COVID we locked down, like moles we pop out
Like pics we crop out, we the ones they talk 'bout
So pass me the rock now, these thoughts I jot down
These problems will compound, uh
I'm seein' the cycle, I'm fed up (I'm fed up)
It's better ways to get your bread up (Your bread up)
We gotta change before they dead us (For real)
My DNA changed for the better
[Chorus]
Either way
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
It's just in my DNA
[Interlude: Aaron Dews]
Ayy, we might have to do that again
Yeah
[Verse 3: Aaron Dews, Battz & Both]
Young king in this joint with the wisdom
Play smart, play hard, hear the difference
Boy came with the slaps like he's pimpin'
I subtract that bullcrap out my system
Yeah, young, young, black king and he Christian
I was really out of luck, He redemptive (For real)
Boy had to boss up out the trenches
I said my DNA changed and I meant it
Yeah, I'm a new breed, the way I do things
I come from the Dews creed, I'm a new seed
I only do like one thing, maybe two things
I kick game and then pray like Bruce Lee
All that walkin' and talkin' and cappin' and flogging
And now you is holdin' in grudges
'Cause we are a recipe, you is not testin' me
Old habits under me, you is not next to me, boy
