Serenity
yvngxchris Lyrics

Last time you spoke about how XXXTENTACION was a big influence for you
You previously mentioned how XXXTENTACION greatly influenced you.

Can you talk a little bit about that and how his death affected you?
Could you share more about that and elaborate on how his death impacted you?

X's influence is insane, bro, like not even just for me
XTENTACION's influence is incredible, not only for me.

Like for everybody else in many different lanes
His impact extends to people in various fields.

Like you ain't even gotta rap and he could still influence you
Even if you don't rap, he can still have an influence on you.

His death is a core memory for me, I remember seeing headlines like "Bro, this can't be real."
His death left a lasting impression on me. I vividly recall seeing headlines and thinking, 'This can't be true.'

When I found out the news, it was like three years ago
When I learned about his passing, it felt like it was three years ago.

I had checked my Instagram and then I seen A brand-new post from TMZ (what the fuck? I don't even follow TMZ)
I was browsing Instagram when I came across a recent post from TMZ, which surprised me since I don't usually follow their account.

I seen that he died, a cry wasn't a go to me
I saw the news of his death, and tears weren't my immediate reaction.

I thought a nigga lied and tried to play a joke with me
Initially, I believed someone was lying or attempting to prank me.

Don't you know the feeling of a loved one dying?
Have you ever experienced the feeling of losing a loved one?

Only difference we not related, he wasn't even close to me
The only difference is that we weren't related, and we weren't even close.

This situation told me to keep a stick close me
This incident taught me the importance of staying vigilant and armed.

For any nigga who try to attempt to approach me
To defend myself against anyone who tries to confront me.

Global nigga stay down, locally
I stay grounded on a global scale, despite local challenges.

Tryna put me inside a opp pack, brag about how they smokin' me
Others are attempting to associate me with enemies and boast about harming me.

Swear to God y'all niggas be some hoes to me
Honestly, you guys come across as disloyal and cowardly to me.

He was by himself and y'all niggas was rollin' deep
He was alone, while all of you were in a large group.

When you think about it, he was tryna buy a bike And you robbed him for his life, nigga, that ain't how it 'posed to be
If you reflect on it, he was just trying to purchase a bike, and you took his life. That's not how things should be.

He taught us distribute positivity
He taught us the importance of spreading positivity.

He taught us to protect our energy
He taught us to safeguard our own energy and well-being.

He taught us you don't gotta hate your enemies
He taught us that it's not necessary to harbor hatred towards our adversaries.

He taught Chris to be proud of your identity
He specifically taught Chris to embrace and take pride in his own identity.

I'm watchin' all the niggas around tryna befriend of me
I'm observing all the individuals attempting to befriend me.

And we can never stop 'til we got serenity
We will persist until we achieve serenity.

I'm always gonna remind you guys that I that my life is not great my my
I will always remind you all that my life isn't perfect.

I mean I'm fortunate, yes, I am
I acknowledge that I am indeed fortunate.

And I'm grateful for everything but my life is not great
While I appreciate everything, my life is far from perfect.

Because I am still who I am, and I'm still human and I wanna remind that
It's because I am authentic and human that I want to emphasize this.

So I don't ever lose touch of you guys, you know?
That way, I don't lose sight of my connection with all of you, you know?

I don't wanna make you guys feel like "Hey, I'm not going through what you guys are going through"
I don't want any of you to feel like I'm distant or detached from your struggles.

Because I make, I make this music, and I made this fanbase
Because I create this music, and I built this fanbase.

And I made everything that I possibly can so we can feel like a family
I've done everything in my power to foster a sense of family among us.

And so we can feel relevant relative or related you know?
So that we can all feel significant and connected, you know?

So, I don't, I don't at all want you guys to think like "Yo, I'm not still on the same shit you guys are on."
Therefore, I absolutely don't want any of you to believe that I'm not going through the same things as you.

Ayy, tell Nip he was right 'bout that crypto shit
Hey, let Nipsey Hussle know that he was correct about the cryptocurrency matter.

And Pop Smoke sayin' "Woo," yeah, we miss them shits
We dearly miss the iconic 'Woo' adlib from Pop Smoke.

Wish I could rewind time to tell Juice not to fly and go take that trip
I wish I could turn back time to advise Juice Wrld not to embark on that trip.

When he died niggas cried, I can't fake that shit
When he passed away, it was genuinely heartbreaking, and I can't pretend otherwise.

And that impact was heavy, that's takin' a million hearts and breakin' shit
The impact of his death was substantial, causing immense grief and heartache for countless individuals.

These niggas got me tryna say some shit, they inspire kids to try to make some shit
These individuals are pressuring me to speak up. They motivate young people to create.

He wanted love, peace, positivity
He desired love, peace, and positivity.

With his late passing, He never really got the chance to really push that agenda the way that he wanted to
Unfortunately, due to his untimely death, he didn't have the opportunity to fully advocate for those ideals as he had intended.

(Dylvinci got the code)
(Dylvinci understands the concept)

So, what I'm here for, and my only purpose, is to push that agenda
Therefore, my sole purpose and reason for being here is to promote that agenda.

Thank you all for listening, VIRALITY
I appreciate all of you for lending an ear. This song aims to go viral.
