There's a reason why I'm here
There's a reason why I'm here
There's a reason why I'm here, yeah
Things don't always go the way that you'd expect
But I learned to love this life and live with no regrets
Can't dwell in yo' strife, gotta respect every step
Tryna protect, yo' energy feel like life and death
I'm hoping this new openness is a way we connect
I used to be reserved, and I would often neglect
This talent that's been in me since my first breath
Before my first curse rapping Damien by DMX
My Momma used to sing, so no that's not a stretch
Just cause and effect, I, pause and reflect
No matter the kids cost, she never lost in the debt
So many thoughts to project and if I fall off it's all gone in a sec
My life is an anomaly
I'm honestly the product of where poverty and success intersects
If we met, I bet you wonder why I'm like this
So pay attention as I go in depth
(Serenity) accept the things that we can't change
(Courage) change the things that we can't accept
(Wisdom) know the difference, and maintain no regrets, no regrets
I always had blessings, but to my peers
It appears, there's some common misconceptions
So let me make this clear, I ain't here to act like I had less than
Those who still stressing where my parents made it out of
A long way from Georgia Ave or them Howard Houses
The projects, a lot to process
Getting money now but how many ways to slice a dollar
A lot of mouths to feed, on all sides of the family
They see the crib and think that it was always like this
They don't see hard nights and sacrifices
I had love in abundance, it was priceless
Until it wasn't, of course, the divorce had us a bit divided
I'm bothered, my emotions, I tried to hide it
I'm only ten, its hard enough to comprehend my conscience
So I pray to the lord, before filling the void
Two years passed, they tell me that my dad is in a morgue
But that's a story for another day
This ain't no symphony looking for sympathy
I was stuck in my ways, stuck in a daze
Somehow I found peace studying football plays
Gotta give union football praise
My community forever, y'all made me better
And I'm just being honest in all that I'm transcribing
For those slowly dying inside with similar problems
Realizing you can heal from revealing my outcome
(Serenity) accept the things that we can't change
(Courage) change the things that we can't accept
(Wisdom) know the difference, and maintain no regrets, no regrets
Some would say I'm quiet, I ain't talking enough?
The ones who know me well, they say I talk too much
I'm too vocal, one homie called me anti-social
Said some girls think you cute, but they scared to approach you
We was only teens, nobody seen what I was going through
Wasn't supposed to, now I'm hopeful
I ain't the one they wanna get close to
I play it so cool, real nonchalant but this a trauma response
From losing a parent, now is it apparent I'm fearing
Attachment, my loving spirit, if it collapses
I can't bear my reaction to yo' absence
I'd self-sabotage before it happened, that's past tense
Self-love, the way to ease all the tension
Not keeping yo' distance, not being defensive
Surround yourself with real ones and you'll come to your senses
What good is escaping the trenches if you still mentally imprisoned
Dealing with everything you feeling inside, now we desensitized
They vilified the real, now we often filled with lies
And we comprise every day lives with a facade
Hide through a social media guise, until ya pride is compromised
Don't look surprised, I been the prize
The flow sick just never ill advised
Still I rise, finna hit a stride
Care less about the finish line
Just find joy in the marathon
(Serenity) accept the things that we can't change
(Courage) change the things that we can't accept
(Wisdom) know the difference, and maintain no regrets, no regrets
Writing since I was fifteen but not chasing my dreams
Initially, out of fear of losing family
Love, friends, even my career and that's what led me here
Now on beats I speak candidly
Despite attempts to prevent all losses
I see now I was moving too cautious
'Cause that life that I wanted, I still lost it regardless
So now I pray y'all get the message
Divine timing, it's all about acceptance
You on God's watch, count ya blessings
No regrets for where you've been
Look at where you're headed
In essence I'm the light to a dark presence
And I'm the voice I wanted during my depression
Negative thoughts, yeah they tend to seep through
The best thing in life is that you get to be you
Brandin Tyrik, they like the world need you
What if I said divine timing was only a preview
There's a reason why I'm here
There's a reason why I'm here, yeah
Things don't always go the way that you'd expect
But I learned to love this life and live with no regrets
