Serenity
Starlito Feat. Kevin Gates Lyrics

Serenity
Asking for the ability to accept things beyond my control, to have the courage to change what I can, and to have the wisdom to tell the difference.

Ups and downs
Experiencing the highs and lows of life.

In and out
Going through the motions, in and out of situations.

I see frowns all around
Noticing that people around me are unhappy.

God protect me, be my weapon
Asking for divine protection from harm.

If they catch me out of bounds
If they catch me doing something wrong or illegal.

Enemies, praying for serenity
My enemies wish for me to have the ability to accept things I cannot change.

To accept what i can never change
To come to terms with the things beyond my control.

Fire in their eyes, that just won't go away
Intense and uncontained emotions in someone's eyes that persist.

My hearts been taken by surprise
My heart has been caught off guard.

And it be (?), Now would you be around
Unclear and indistinct lyrics.

Wondering who′s gonna be around
Contemplating who will be present in the future.

And everything gon (?))
Unclear and indistinct lyrics.

Said the serenity prayer a hundred times when they ran my license
Reciting the serenity prayer repeatedly when in a stressful situation, such as being pulled over by the police.

Damn i should have ran
Regretting not fleeing the scene.

Fresh out of second chances
Having no more opportunities.

Got this one bitch she so fancy
Having a girlfriend who is very high-maintenance.

Pretend to understand me
Acting as if she knows and empathizes with my struggles.

My feelings been so damaged
My emotions and mental state have been deeply hurt.

Can't pretend to be romantic
Not having the ability or desire to be affectionate and loving in a relationship.

A reckless street nigga, Thats her fantasy
Being a dangerous, lawless man is what my girlfriend desires.

Going against the wishes of her family
Opposing her family's desires or values.

Finding comfort in my insanity
Finding safety and ease in a chaotic, unhealthy lifestyle.

Still ain't met none of her friends, I don′t fuck with strangers
Not knowing any of my girlfriend's friends and avoiding interaction with unfamiliar people.

Buy her nothing but big bags, Gotta tuck my banger
Buying expensive things for my girlfriend while carrying an illegal firearm.

I see the devil in her eyes, But got the touch of an angel
My girlfriend appears to be dangerous and malevolent, but her nature is pure and kind.

I bet i introduce her to pain, Fuckin with a gangster
Being with me will cause my girlfriend to experience pain and suffering.

Routine traffic stop going up the road, Wonder if she can accept that′ll ill never change, Thats all i know
Being worried that my girlfriend won't accept that I cannot change who I am, and continuing to act accordingly.

I dont trust a soul, To used to being betrayed, It's survival of the game
Being cautious and reluctant to trust others due to past experiences of betrayal, and recognizing that this is how the game works.

Slurred words, Mental purge with liquid courage
Speaking incoherently after drinking alcohol and using it as a way to release pent-up emotions.

Poverty-stricken origin, Recollection a blur
Growing up in impoverished conditions and having a hazy memory of past events.

Puking out my intestines i ingested the curse
Vomiting and indicating that I am cursed or struggling.

After first base always stuck between second and third (just go home)
Unable to progress in a romantic relationship after the initial stages, indicating that I should quit.

Afraid to go home if home is where the heart is
Being scared to go back to my roots and the people who hold significance for me.

Mother′s relationship abusive, Don't know who my pa is
My mother's relationship was violent and conflicting, and I do not know who my father is.

Love a stripper (why?), Modeled after my mama′s figure
Having a crush on a stripper who looks like my mother.

Clock is ticking, If divided by time that i spent in prison
Feeling the pressure of time and acknowledging that I have spent a substantial amount of time in prison.

Deserted by the very ones, Slippin in my feelings
Being abandoned by the people closest to me and struggling with my emotions.

Shy of commitment, Petrified?
Avoiding taking on permanent relationships, and being scared or apprehensive about doing so.

Instagram pictures im diggin, Twitter DMn
Liking pictures on Instagram and messaging people on Twitter.

Not to mention how me met cuz she mentioned me in my mentions
Acknowledging how I met someone through being mentioned on social media.

Too reluctant won't open up, She thinkin i′m willin to listen
Being hesitant to disclose my true feelings or problems while my girlfriend assumes that I am willing to listen to her.

Pretty women? Bitch on the lips I ain't kissin
Ignoring pretty women and not participating in romantic interactions with them.
