Lyrics : Serenity (Letter To X)
Last time you spoke about how X**TENTACION was a big influence for you
Can you talk a little bit about that and how his death affected you?
X's influence is insane, bro, like not even just for me, like for everybody else in many different lanes
Like you ain't even gotta rap and he could still influence you
His death is a core memory for me, I remember seeing headlines like, "Bro, this can't be real"
When I found out thе news, it was like three years ago
I had chеcked my Instagram and then I seen
A brand-new post, it's from TMZ (What the f**k? I don't even follow TMZ)
I seen that he died, a cry wasn't a go to me
I thought a n***a lied and tried to play a joke with me
Don't you know the feeling of a loved one dyin'?
Only difference we not related, he wasn't even close to me
This situation taught me to keep a stick close to me
For any n***a who try to attempt approachin' me
Global n***a, stayed down locally
Tryna put me inside a opp pack, brag about how they smokin' me
Swear to God y'all n***as be some hoes to me
He was by himself and y'all n***as was rollin' deep
When you think about it, he was tryna buy a bike and you robbed him for his life
N***a, that ain't how it 'posed to be
He taught us distribute positivity
He taught us to protect our energy
He taught us you don't gotta hate your enemies
He taught Chris to be proud of your ident**y
I'm watchin' all the n***as around tryna be friend of me
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity (Serenity)
I'm always gonna remind you guys that I— that, my life is not great my—my
I mean, I am fortunate, yes, I am
I'm grateful for everything but my life is not great because I am still who I am
And I'm still human and I wanna remind that so I don't ever lose touch of you guys, you know?
I don't wanna make you guys feel like, "Hey, I'm not going through what you guys are going through"
Because I make, I make this music, and I made this fanbase
And I made everything that I possibly can so we can feel like a family
And so we can feel relevant, relative or related, 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 sh*t you guys are on"
Ayy, tell Nip he was right 'bout that crypto sh*t
And Pop Smoke sayin' "Woo," yeah, we miss them sh*ts
Wish I could rewind time to tell Juice not to fly and go take that trip
When he died, n***as cried, I can't fake that sh*t
And the impact was heavy, that's takin' a million hearts and breakin' sh*t
These n***as got me tryna say some sh*t, they inspire kids to try to make some sh*t
He taught us distribute positivity
He taught us to protect our energy
He taught us you don't gotta hate your enemies
He taught Chris to be proud of your ident**y
I'm watchin' all the n***as around tryna befriend of me
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity
And we can never stop 'til we got serenity (Serenity)
He wanted love, peace, positivity
But with his late pa**ing, he never really got the chance to really
Push that agenda the way that he wanted to (Dylvinci got the code)
So, what I'm here for, and my only purpose, is to push that agenda
Thank you all for listening, VIRALITY
