(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
