Serenade
K-Pop Orchestral Ensemble Lyrics

When the smoke clears
After the chaos and confusion settle

And the trials over
And the challenges have been overcome

Leaves more room
Creates space

To keep composure
To maintain control and calmness

I search for closure
I seek resolution and completion

I'm moving boulders
I am actively overcoming obstacles

Cuz under mountains there's spring fountains
Because even in the toughest times, there is hope

Lost my hope
I once felt hopeless

Then I found it
But I discovered it again

Firm foundation
A solid base or support

I stay grounded
I remain stable and rooted

So many blessings
There are numerous positive things in my life

I can't count 'em
I cannot quantify them all

All them bad paths
All the wrong choices I made

I had to reroute em
I had to change my course

Hating niggas been prevalent
There has always been a presence of haters

To me they so irrelevant
But to me, they are insignificant

My melanin match my excellence
The color of my skin aligns with my greatness

So you better show some reverence
So you should display respect

This is me in my element
This is when I am most authentic and true to myself

But these people round me so devilish
But the people around me are deceitful and malicious

That's the devil's wish
That is what the devil desires

It's been evident
It has been clear

For a minute boy, I won't second it
For a while, I will not agree with it

Ain't no feeling like a holy healing
There is no sensation like a pure healing

Now I know my demons
Now I am aware of my inner struggles

And I can't conceal 'em
And I cannot hide them

It's so unreal when they try and steal
It is incredibly disheartening when they try to take away

Every ounce of joy
Every bit of happiness

In yo fuckin being
In your entire existence

Outside I look calm
Externally, I appear composed

But in my soul I'm truly screaming
But internally, I am screaming in pain

My heart is beating
My heart is pulsating

These moments fleeting
These moments are passing quickly

I try to grab 'em
I try to seize them

I'm overreaching
But I am reaching too far

Black man in Amerikkka
As a black man in America

And that's 3 k's when I say it bruh
And that's a reference to the racist ideology represented by the letter 'k'

Each day
Every single day

There's some new graves
There are new deaths

From some new evil
Caused by some new malevolence

In a new way
In a different manner

While them higher-ups
Meanwhile, those in power

Gettin too paid
Are becoming excessively wealthy

That's two faced
That is hypocritical

And it's too fake
And it is disingenuous

To trust anything
To have faith in anything

Onna news tape
Presented in the media

But imma pessimistic optimist
But I am simultaneously negative and positive

Cuz they don't see it how I see it like an oculus
Because they do not perceive the truth as I do, like an eye

Higher consciousness
An elevated state of awareness

Spiritual confidence
A belief in one's spiritual self

Do me dirty there's going always be a consequence
If someone mistreats me, there will always be repercussions

Thought shit was sweet
Believed that things were easy

Now they tastin all the rottenness
Now they are experiencing the corruption

I be planting on these seeds
I am sowing and nurturing these ideas or actions

Like a botanist
Like a scientist specializing in plants

Nah forreal cuz I'm really out here cropping shit
No, seriously, because I am actively editing and improving things

Any opposites?
Does anyone hold opposing views?

Dead to me
Irrelevant or no longer present in my life

Posthumous
Referring to someone or something that exists after death
