LYRICS:
There’s a reason why I’m here,
There’s a reason why I’m here,
There’s a reason why I’m here, yeah,
(Verse 1)
Things don’t always go the way that you’d expect,
But I learned to love this life and live with no regrets,
Can’t dwell in yo’ strife,
Gotta respect every step,
Tryna protect, yo’ energy feel like life and death,
I’m hoping this new openness is a way we connect,
I used to be reserved, and I would often neglect,
This talent that’s been in me since my first breath,
Before my first curse rapping Damien by DMX,
My Momma use to sing, so no that’s not a stretch,
Just cause and effect,
I, pause and reflect,
No matter the kids cost, she never lost in the debt,
So many thoughts to project,
And if I fall off it’s all gone in a sec,
My life is an anomaly,
I’m honestly the product of where poverty,
And success intersects,
If we met I bet you wonder why I’m like this,
So pay attention as I go in depth,
(Chorus)
(Serenity)
Accept the things that we can’t change,
(Courage)
Change the things that we can’t accept,
(Wisdom)
Know the difference,
And maintain no regrets, no regrets.
(Verse 2)
I always had blessings,
But to my peers,
It appears, there’s some common misconceptions,
So let me make this clear, I ain’t here to act like I had less than,
Those who still stressing,
Where my parents made it out of,
A long way from Georgia Ave or them Howard Houses,
The projects, a lot to process,
Getting money now but how many ways to slice a dollar,
A lot of mouths to feed,
On all sides of the family,
They see the crib and think that it was always like this,
They don’t see hard nights and sacrifices,
I had love in abundance, it was priceless,
Until it wasn’t,
Of course, the divorce, had us a bit divided,
I’m bothered, my emotions, I tried to hide it,
I’m only ten, its hard enough to comprehend my conscience,
So I pray to the lord, before filling the void,
Two years passed, they tell me that my dad is in a morgue,
But that’s a story for a another day,
This ain’t no symphony looking for sympathy,
I was stuck in my ways,
Stuck in a daze,
Somehow I found peace studying football plays,
Gotta give union football praise,
My community forever, yal made me better,
And I’m just being honest,
In all that I’m transcribing,For those slowly dying inside with similar problems,
Realizing you can heal from revealing my outcome,
(Chorus)
(Serenity)
Accept the things that we can’t change,
(Courage)
Change the things that we can’t accept,
(Wisdom)
Know the difference,
And maintain no regrets, no regrets.
(Verse 3)
Some would say I’m quiet,
I ain’t talking enough?
The ones who know me well,
They say I talk too much,
I’m too vocal,
One homie called me anti-social,
Said some girls think you cute, but they scared to approach you,
We was only teens, nobody seen what I was going through,
Wasn’t supposed to,
Now I’m hopeful,
I ain’t the one they wanna get close to,
I play it so cool, real nonchalant,
But this a trauma response,
From losing a parent, now is it apparent I’m fearing,
Attachment, my loving spirit, if it collapses,
I can’t bare my reaction to yo’ absence,
I’d self-sabotage before it happened,
That’s past tense,
Self-love the way to ease all the tension,Not keeping yo’ distance,
Not being defensive,
Surround yourself with real ones and you’ll come to your senses,
What good is escaping the trenches,
If you still mentally imprisoned,
Dealing with everything you feeling inside,
Now we desensitized,
They vilified the real now we often filled with lies,
And we comprise every day lives with a facade,
Hide through a social media guise,
Until ya pride is compromised,
Don’t look surprised, I been the prize,
The flow sick just never ill advised,
Still I rise, finna hit a stride,
Care less about the finish line,
Just find joy in the marathon
(Chorus)
(Serenity)
Accept the things that we can’t change,
(Courage)
Change the things that we can’t accept,
(Wisdom)
Know the difference,
And maintain no regrets, no regrets.
(Verse 4)
Writing since I was fifteen,
But not chasing my dreams,
Initially, out of fear of losing family,
Love, friends, even my career,
And that’s what led me here,
Now on beats I speak, candidly,
Despite attempts to prevent all losses,
I see now I was moving too cautious,
Cus that life that I wanted,
I still lost it regardless,
So now I pray yal get the message,
Divine timing, it’s all about acceptance,
You on God’s watch, count ya blessings,
No regrets for where you’ve been,
Look at where you’re headed,
In essence I’m the light, to a dark presence,
And I’m the voice I wanted during my depression,
Negative thoughts, yeah they tend to seep through,
The best thing in life is that you get to be you,
Brandin Tyrik, they like the world need you,
What if I said DIVINE TIMING was only a preview
