Mavi stopped by the Genius studio to perform his track, “the giver.” Produced by The Beach Noise, the song comes from his latest project, shadowbox. In today’s episode of Open Mic, the Charlotte rapper delivers his bars melodically, gliding over the smooth beat.

00:00She loves me, she loves me not, I'll find you in another's eyes
00:20The promise of another life, cool boys on the other side
00:24With whom you gonna trudge the aisle, loopin' arms if wasn't mine
00:27For whom you gon' become a bride, the moon I flung among the skies
00:31Who view you as another guy, I surely love to meet him
00:34If this church could come in other sizes, otherwise I much prefer surprise
00:38And lose your love or die, I struck that line but it just crept eruptin' from inside
00:43I want you to be happy, how you happy with another guy
00:46Who's wrapped in me, is he just as fine as rattling, not gonna lie
00:50Is that enough to cut a tie, don't mean to blow you up this time of night
00:53Can't scrub you from my mind, I'm trippin', draggin' it
00:56Fashin' up some reply, just make it make sense to me
01:00Yeah, am I so much of a stain, do you mistake you, you can't erase history
01:07Yeah, everything I ever gave to you, he gainin' from you, makin' plays, benchin' me
01:14Yeah, I was crazy makin' you wait on me, I'm late but I ain't think you take shifts from me
01:21Yeah, all the ways I made you hate me, I could change it, baby, make it make sense
01:27I ain't mean to, after I showed the worst of me, you think I'm see
01:31Through the cloud that always follow me, how I received you
01:35I was lovin' money, wasn't man enough to need you
01:38The soul I didn't know I had, you tried to preach to
01:42And then you throw it in my face that I'm a demon
01:45I know I can't restore the path, I'm past redeeming
01:49But I ain't fall this far with you for you to leave me
01:52I know I broke us, but I ain't mean to
01:56After I showed the worst of me, you think I'm see
01:59Through the cloud that always follow me, how I received you
02:03I was lovin' money, wasn't man enough to need you
02:06The soul I didn't know I had, you tried to preach to
02:10And then you throw it in my face that I'm a demon
02:13I know I can't restore the path, I'm past redeeming
02:16But I ain't fall this far with you for you to leave me
02:46Good to see you, love you, thank you
