Gentleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
Why you wanna throw it all away
Now you about to hurt yourself
It is happening here there and everywhere
Man a left from the spiritual wealth
Find out who you are
Hear the sound from a far
Forget about your try along crosses
So much emotional scar
From that tug-a-war
But every tribulation passes...
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
No life is in vain
No thought insane
No transgression to complain
No gun nuh hide round the lane
No fight fi fame
And blessings ago shower like rain
No pride no ego no shame
No one to blame
No lava run down the main
No prisoner to detained
And no dog fi chain
Love alone man hafi maintain
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
Your time and my time
A fi we time now a fi we time no
Peace the groom love the bride
We live it right now we live it right now
Let your spiritual conscience erupt
Let it flow through your veins till it spill from your cup
And just like your heart beat nonstop
Your awareness is rising so don't let drop
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try
Press gas find another gear
Why you wanna throw it all away
Now you about to hurt yourself
It is happening here there and everywhere
Man a left from the spiritual wealth
Find out who you are
Hear the sound from a far
Forget about your try along crosses
So much emotional scar
From that tug-a-war
But every tribulation passes
Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try

Serenity and love in a the air
And da one who want deny
Soon cry a river of tears
Long time now we livin in a fear
Something new fi try

In the song "Serenity", Gentleman sings about how love and peace are present in the air and how denying them can lead to tears. He emphasises that we should forget about our past sufferings, emotional scars from our internal struggles, and worldly ego and pride to live in spiritual wealth. Gentleman urges us to find out who we are and embrace our true selves. He acknowledges that the world is suffering through fear and violence, but there's hope for peace if we let go of our negative tendencies and focus on spiritual awareness. Through this journey towards inner peace, he encourages us to press on and find a new gear to navigate towards a brighter future.
The chorus emphasises that serenity and love are present in the air, but there are those who deny it and will soon find themselves shedding tears. Gentleman urges us to try something new, to keep moving forward, and to hold onto love alone. He further emphasises that our time is now, and we should make the most of it. We should let our spiritual conscience guide us, and just like our heartbeat, let our awareness continuously rise. Finally, in the repetition of the chorus towards the end of the song, he reminds us not to throw everything away because tribulations will pass.
