Aaron Dillard - Serenity lyrics
(Verse 1) God Grant me the serenity To search into this inner me And find out what the remedy I'm trying to keep it real, but its like nobody's listening To anything but nonsense the media's been conditioning My heart is breaking- I need to get to this out now But the ma**es wanna hear lies and I really just don't know how To put up a good disguise All I know is being me Which is nothing like all of these rappers here stacking green Cuz I mean I could rhyme about wordplay In a verse yay And say I'm further ahead than the first guy that's in first place Whose weaker than seven days I'm a beast In the streets And anyone whose gonna step to me is getting sweeped But I won't I choose to be deep And question why in our music ignorance tends to seep Or why super high is what everyone wants to be Or saying all of this out loud will suddenly mean (Chorus) (2x) That I got enemies, got a lot of enemies Who wanna get in my way and take up all my serenity Who wanna play games and try to mess with me mentally But I'mma make this music cuz they need something that's genuine (Verse 2) God, Grant me the serenity To accept that I'm not the one that they asked for Cuz I'm not willing to sell a bunch of lies now And deal with the problems coming up when we fast-forward How does a married man sound on all his hits? Saying last night he did like 17 chicks Who all know each other and are all okay with this Clearly it never happened but really what makes no sense Is the fact that people know this And it's taking all of their cents Like their piggy bank got robbed out of no where with no defense Now I know that last simile right there was childish But is it really when being one of those men's a child's wish Misguided and miseducated Only wanna hear lies cuz that producer made it I don't about war if our minds have been invaded Do you understand the picture I just illustrated? (Chorus) (2x) That I got enemies, got a lot of enemies Who wanna get in my way and take up all my serenity Who wanna play games and try to mess with me mentally But I'mma make this music cuz they need something that's genuine (Bridge) My Mom said honesty's only policy You know I gotta trust her with that master's in psychology And my Dad taught me quantity under quality Do what you do and you'll end up with no apologies I know that my style's unconventional It's intentional, I'm setting this fire without permission So I'll leave you with one condition, yo Recognize that me lyrics are all subliminal (Chorus) (2x) That I got enemies, got a lot of enemies Who wanna get in my way and take up all my serenity Who wanna play games and try to mess with me mentally But I'mma make this music cuz they need something that's genuine (Prayer) God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change The courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference Thy will Not mine Be done Amen
