Nick D's - Serenity lyrics

[Verse One: Paypa] Look, I went from monster balling to losing Isaiah We weathered the storm, I think FEMA should pay us This ain't no f**ing hobby, don't see no f**ing hollies I'm just throwing the truth, sh**, I could pa** a poly Let's take it back to the, to my grandmother's basement Try to make a hit ‘cause moving base was basic Too Too taught me the bagga, now I got my swagger Trying to stunt for Quila and f** my whole stash up Hustling ain't me and sh**, that's hard to see ‘Cause when you feeling trapped, education is key When the block is your teacher, Larry Hoover your preacher Trying to get you a Pelle Pelle to go with your sneakers This can't be life, lord show me another way, Biggie can't be right You either slang crack, rap or got a wicked jumpshot In the streets where its Novak scenes, just gunshots huh [Hook] Lord, grant the serenity, I promise I'll k** it from now to infinity Stunting on my enemies, f** where I came from Look at where I'm finna be, where I'm finna be [Verse Two: Emilio Rojas] The murder rate as high as them fiends is And the homes we growing up in, yeah they broke as our dreams is Even dope boys ain't rolling around in no Beamers My guy done pushed white for eight years and still he hope for that V6 He walking out the front door and looking both ways Bullets barking at him like dogs, he hope for no strays All we want is insurance with lower co-pays So ma can buy some new clothes she could sport at a work place I seen her wear the same sneakers for three summers Too worried about buying food to just sit down and eat with us Police come and they f** what you becoming And innocents flee, running like they finna beat something We see judges as nothing but a formality You grown, you go to jail, if you young, they pull you from family And then they put you into foster care, only hate is fostered there But that sh**'s our cross to bear, yeah [Hook] [Verse Three: Nick D's] They say my mission was impossible I'm scaling up the wall which means I'm breaking through the gla** When I'm tapping on your jaw, I'm boxing ‘cause I got no other options Like a warehouse worker, say my name, go ahead, wear it out further You see I'm trying to get my granny rich Pay her back for all them ham sandywiches that she made When I was famishing, they tried to facemask me But I still ran it in, long story short, man I rip ‘em like Hamilton I usher in a new era, can you handle it? My man*scripts the only reason your girl's panties wet I f** her ‘fore I head out the door then I'm beating down the block Like Lew Al-Kan-Dor, I know it's Alcindor but the way I pronounce And deliver only gon' result in me making profound figures And never a**ume I'm down with ya Unless we toast off the table ‘fore we down liquor, coalition [Hook] [Verse Four: Paypa] Look at where I'm finna be ‘cause I grind endlessly Made it from the bottom, it's the Coalition Emba**y Hoes had the tendency to overlook me Now they throw the Vol up, Tennessee, listening to Hennessy b**h, I came from Burnstuy, went to school in Murdervalle Ho, my name is Paypa, if you s** me, it'll be worth your while I done had a million jobs, told you I was working wild You was bullsh**ting, I was listening and working wild Untamed n***a, you a lame n***a, k** your own brother How you glorify Cain n***a? We put ourselves in the game n***a Even if it came from ‘caine, excuse my hypocritical ways We was really grinding hard, f**ing b**hes, buying cars Diamonds, we was shining hard, I wish you coulda seen my n***as Now I'm popping bottles, yelling free my n***as, hold on
