Lyrics:
Leaving the light,
Always thought i was living a lie
Wasnt feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
Put my hand up on my heart, I beat my chest,
The chaos moving down and down, seep in my flesh
The obstacles wont block my path, i see the test,
They can try and swat me down, boy im the pest
Only know what you see from the outside,
You can run, God laughs with his mouth wide,
I won’t die on my knees, though my hands tied,
In the end it’s a Roach vs a landslide
Better run, there's a god
And he’s coming for me
Leaving the light,
Always thought i was living a lie
Wasn't’ feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
The pest is always on the move,
I aint vanish,
Crush me with your holy hell,
I feel no damage,
I can never stop my path,
Despite the panic,
The planet might be burning down,
Fuck it I'll manage,
Green hills I can see them smoking,
Big smile as the flames approaching,
Im a beast, I can feel them poaching
Stamp me down but a roach keeps roaching
Better run, there's a god
And hes coming for me
Leaving the light
I dont need a gun
I can hurt you with my tongue
And im trying not to burn out while I'm living in the sun
Leaving the light,
Always thought i was living a lie
Wasnt feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie

Just got to see this live, opening for Paramore, and the performance was amazing!
That's why I'm here
Same reason I am commenting. Paramore indy show and this as his opening song just MADE you move.
Same here! Fantastic!
Saw him last night. He outdid Bloc Party for sure. His crowd control was on point
Yes I did to June 12....
The beat is giving Crash Bandicoot and I’m HERE FOR IT
And the video reminds me of a dark souls game
I literally searched for this video to see if other people had noticed the Crash Bandicoot vibes lol. Can’t put my finger on what it is exactly, think it’s mainly the instruments
Yeah caught me before any words just heard it in the car
Whoa!
@@thezanycat I spent way too long trying to figure out what song it reminded me of but check out the intro to Cortex Power off the CB soundtrack
YESSSSS, WAKE UP BABE NEW GENESIS OWUSO VIDEO
Man this is so original, love the production style somewhere between hiphop and electro - nice to be entering the post genre era
I want so much more of this! Someone please copy the style
The whole of the 80s sounded like this, if you weren't listening to radio or mainstream
it's dance-punk
Give a listen to Oingo Boingo...
This is the evolution of genesis, this is fucking world domination music
This is like the lovechild of NIN - Head Like a Hole/That's what I get & TV On The Radio - Repetition. Love it.
Yes! I can see it, sick beat
YES THANK YOU
Congrats man. Heard this in the car a few months back and loved it, and today it randomly shows up in an Apple event?! Amazing!
This visuals are insane plus the song is a bop 🔥🔥🇰🇪
I attended Genesis’s Dallas concert the night of Texas Rangers’ World Series win. I had 4 tix, but everyone else watched the game. It was the best concert I’ve attended in a decade!
From Ft. Worth and was watching the Texas Rangers win 😂🎉
Never heard of this dude till last night, he was the opening act for Bloc Party and Paramore. Though wtf is this, by the end his energy had me moving in them stands. Not normally my cup of tea but I thought his performance was awesome, with a big production his shows would be something to see.
Congratulations, you have been featured on the Apple Event
This rocked my morning! Thanks KEXP!
My favorite University radio channel just played this song. I absolutely love it. Thank you DJ Jay! 😊❤
This is THE slapper of the spring and probably summer. Holy shit.
those tempo switches though! 😙🤌
Im do glad I've been here since Wit Da Team how far Owusu has come since its been a pleasure to watch the rise!
THIS!!!!!
the lyrics are nuts, the beat is fucking insane and the music video is awesome. This might be my new favorite genesis owusu song
Just came from the Apple ad, congrats man!
This song melts my face
Stunning, funky, makes me want to writhe on the floor 10/10
Same! I stumbled across this, now I’ve set it to repeat for I’m playing this every time I’m in the car, full blast. I got 4 tickets for Dallas Nov 4 within an hour of 1st listen. I don’t even have 4 close friends to invite! But I scooped up the chance. Once “Struggler”album drops in 2 weeks, he’s gonna blow up. His style is everything! Meaning:
80’s punk post-new wave, 70’s folk, hard-core rap (without the off putting masogny). When he’s playing a minimalist session with 1 guitar & 1 bass, it’s dreamy and sirenisc. HOW IS HE NOT ALREADY HUGE IN THE US? I’ll chop it up to perhaps his freshman album hit the US beginning of Covid? He’s award winning is AUS.
good lord this man just CANT miss
Just saw you at Indy! Sick set my guy, you have some great energy. Your music is what I never knew I wanted.
I can’t get enough of this jam!
Samesies
How can this have so little views? Genesis is amazing. Love you and this song so much, the end bit was transcended. Cant wait for the albun❤
Because it sucks
I don’t know man, people don’t like originality?
Well this is his most viewed music video 😁
@@maxmoritz5065🐢
@@cesar0969my wish came true, when I commented that it had 2k views. I think he'll be the next big thing. This album will be transcended
I LOVE IT!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I heard this song on my local @KXXT Dallas radio. I’m floored and instant fan!!!!
Genesis Owusu delivers another sensational banger
Bro’s adopting some FromSoft aesthetics and I’m all here for it
Yes man. Just heard this on FBI radio in Sydney Australia. How can I not subscribe?
Insane visuals.
Geni Wu is a national treasure keep this man and his ideas alive....and you cant forget the Black Dogg Band either.....one day ill get a feature just for the authenticity.
Heard this on BBC sounds...amazing track!
Kirin j and genesis both having new albums this summer is gonna be a blessing
one of the most catchy fun songs ive heard so far this year. I was already one of Genesis Owusu's top listeners on Spotify before this song, gonna play the hell out of this one too hahah
Heard this in an Apple Event!
WRAS 88.5 Atlanta brought me here. I'm glad I did. You are a diamond in a sea of coal.
song is so good... and the video is just as good holy
You were great at Madison Square Garden, thanks for the stellar performance!
I heard your track on Moscow radio station while driving -
I “shazamed” it immediately on high speed 😂 Good track!)))
I heard it on the radio too lol I looked it up while stopped at a red light 😂
is it fun today in moscow?
Same here! I even broke my 3 month score of no phone use while driving GEICO, so I could Shazam it!
@@MrSimon1909 Super cool summer dude, thanks for asking 😊
When this song comes on…VOLUME UP🎶🏁😻I can’t leave my car until it’s over.
I have this set to repeat and full blast, windows down and MAX A.C. I’m listening & watching everything I can, and pre-ordered STRUGGLER, 4 tickets to Dallas Nov show. I don’t even have 4 friends 😂😂. I’m only a 5-day old Genesis baby, but really at 51 yrs. I’ve got my 85 yr old mother hooked as well!!!
always so original and inventive, love this sm
Beautiful song

My new favorite artist!
Apple never fail to impress us with their good taste of music
This slaps
I'M ALL ABOUT THIS ROACH ROCK
so good as usual. so excited for this new album!
Now, that's fresh.
Just saw him in Brooklyn. Amazing show, so much energy. Roach-guy had the time of his life!
Right?!?! I saw him in Dallas the night of Texas Rangers World Series win. I was pissed that baseball kept the masses away from walking out this show! Actually, it almost sold out, but not all attended.
Bro is very lucky he is in an apple event!
Banger
This is HARD!
Work of art.

Idk wtf I just watched but I'm gonna watch it another million times.
Is it just me that gets Devo vibes?
It’s that slapping bass and keys, right?! I’m all over the place with his songs. I’m flabbergasted!
Seriously Obsessed with this entire album right now
Love the Roach! Fear the Roach!
Actual genius! Thrilled to be listening! The video is giving Souls-like and I love it.
Demon souls remake

NPR ILLINOIS 9.19 WUIS brought me here.
Sooooo good! An instant favorite ❤️
Stumbled across this guy and then later on stumbled many many more times what amazing tracks, lyrics, beats, bars, singing and flows.
Jeeeeez
Isn’t his vast genre bridges and travels fucking raw as F? He can be R&B, folk, post-new wave hard core punk…. He’s amazing!
I saw him in Dallas. Was beyond transcending!
Wow, that is really hard work😍
Niesamowita energia! Lepsze od kawy !! 💪😁🇵🇱🇦🇺
