about
"Bougainvillea Taxi" is a raw glimpse at the radical climb one takes to fulfill their artistic vision. Genetti spins this idea of comfort in the reality that struggling to make art/survive is a far departure from the save haven of our childhood daydreams. Having driven for Lyft many nights to survive—even spending some in the car to sleep—allows this new single to provide a more intimate light into the emerging bedroom producer-turned artist.

Bougainvillea Taxi
music and lyrics
by Joey Genetti
So tired of this Taxi Cab
With my dreams in the seat
And my foot on the gas
Yeah, and Im going fast,
Just trying to get to a better class
I wanna make my parents proud
I’m working real hard trying to figure out
fuck.. I gotta figure it out
I’m trying to get there, but I don’t know how
And its you,
You told me everything was gonna be ok, but its not
Used.
That is how I feel
And its you,
I gave you everything, and now I have trouble remembering
How it feels,
To just be me
So tired of this Taxi Cab
So tired of this Taxi Cab
So tired of this Taxi Cab
with my dreams in the seat
and my foot on the gas
Yeah, and Im going fast,
just trying to get o a better class
I wanna make my parents proud
I’m working real hard trying to figure out
fuck.. I gotta figure it out
I’m trying to get there but I don’t know how
And its you,
you told me everything was gonna be ok, but its not
used,
that is how I feel, was as any of it even fucking real for
you,
I gave you everything but now I have trouble remembering
how it feels,
to just be me,
Bougainvillea Taxi
So Tired of this Taxi Cab
So Tired of this Taxi Cab
and Im going fast
I’m always going so fast
oh Im going so fast, cause of you
