(For a while now… I've been Searching For Serenity (Ley Speaks) And I know it's a journey But I'm still stuck like…) How can I find peace?... Huh? Giving everyone pieces of me Don't care long as my nieces love me But what's comfort if you're feeling ugly? A lot on my plate, dont feed me though Besides I don't know if I'm even hungry No appetite, should I catch a flight? Maybe I just need to leave the country Airplane mode or I throw my phone Astral planes with the Holy Ghost Ex love didn't want me home alone Said shes scared I'll overd- Now n'again I wonder if she's over me That's the ego taking over me (mad) I think she'd like the older me Thats when shame tapped my shoulder like "Its over g" I… I spend too much time in the past While worrying about my future I'm the victim and the shooter But I've still got my sense of humour So I'm the still that lit guy in the function And it's not like I've been hearing rumours But the problem is I make assumptions Then wish I bit the bullet sooner I didnt chews this life So I'm swallowing my pride And its hard to digest First I open my mouth then Im covering my eyes (Gulp) It's not easy to squeeze your heart in your art but I do and I make it poetic So I ain't tryna force you to like what I'm on Just respect it It's so ironic Struggled to come outta my shell but online I'll shell it Open mics I could leave it all on the stage but to speak? Pff forget it Now I get it Looking back shit was pathetic But I can't say I regret it I just wanted credit So everyone could look around that room like "THATS they call him The Legend!" Headline shows! Can you see the growth? I know! I even open up to my boys But I'm still stressed, because of who opened up for me "Comparisons the thief of joy" Yeah I know I just gotta focus on me Maybe then I wont feel inferior Actually wait… Maybe I should focus on them and soak up the whole experience (This poet has an E.P. out called Metamorphosis, if you haven't ) Ah, here we go again I'm feeling delirious But while my insides are doing up backflips (anxiety) I'm composed on the exterior (thats pride) You know how hard it is to look confident without coming across imperious? See I used to have dreams of a major success to make everyone wish they treated me different Now I dont wanna make em wish nuttin. Word I just… wish they'd take me serious It's less about tryna sound cold And more about giving them chills Cause it's less about tryna move cold And more sharing how you feel Its kinda mad, I was on overdrive tryna press x Til I found a means to express Word. Now I Excel/XL Not tryna shrink in size. I just want everyting in excess/XS Thats love, success and nuff sex More life F*ck death I'm still grieving Got lost ones that are still breathing But I know shit could be a lot worse so now I'm minimising my own feelings I- sigh Just wanna be remembered for all the right reasons And with my soul … Leave a footprint wherever I go It's either you leave someone feeling whole Or by the time you leave, they're left with a hole And right when I thought I was flawless/floor-less The earth opens up and swallows me whole (rock bottom) Consumed in piles of regret (Humbled) But it's so tranquil after letting them go Its like my G Reya said "The truth aint always necessarily fact" You didnt see 100% of me It was probably like 70 max Theres 30% that we hide cause'a- Look, you know this so lemme relax I don't wanna be a people pleaser I just want serenity back What if someones out there telling people I'm crazy? And just how much she hates me? And its not like I been hearing rumours But these kinda thoughts been bugging me lately Too worried about how I'm perceived For years I've battled this adversity Man I couldn't even quit when I was carrying the weight of the universe at university (No more comparisons from now) So from now… It's just me versus me Sometimes maybe versatile, more time every verse is deep From mental health to the 'Birds and the Bees' Cause you all understand to a certain degree How will I break it down to my child If the apple of my eye fell far from the tree? "Thirsting for women so I fed their ego They wanted loving, not from me though I was tryna be the knight in shining armour They were holding out for a superhero" Still wondering whos over me so… Sometimes I wish I had no libido Irony is, there's woman who want me and they deserve loving… not from me though "But everyones a no-one to someone" Might have sold dreams but theres no receipts tho I lock them out then I block the peephole Got a strong shield like the blue Avenger Huff. Puff and lose your temper Metamorpho- uh. Its a new Leyenda "…Please welcome Ley Speaks to the stage! Keep it going, keep it going til he gets here" Funny how it took a self discovery For me to start questioning who my friends are Luckily, the period I lost my way Is about the same time that I found my pen No more checking out in then out again And Ley don't give a toss who's doubting him Poured out my heart to a silent crowd Thats the only time I'm the type to shout Otherwise I thug it out Like "calm thats just more shit to write about I'm still searching"
