The Calm Lyrics by Henrī

Live + Learn EP

2014

[Intro]
Uh, yeah
Henrī
Lyrical, lyrical genius
Team 2E
Dang

[Verse 1]
I’m sitting in my room focused, eyes open
I feel like Jonah, haven’t slept in 40 nights
Cause 40 days I’m in the booth
Rapping sonnets
But you should hear me, I’m killing it

I’m shooting verse at my microphone like it’s bullet proof
Feeling biblical cause I’m speaking truths, about my life
Young black male lacking confidence, boy it’s obvious
Negativity is in my ambiance
I seek attention, where’s my audience
I do this music cause it’s therapeutic to my soul
It’s a drug, if I can’t use it, I lose it
Can’t pay for therapy, so I write the pain on the paper
Poetry
I’m an artist, I paint these vivid pictures through my mind to the microphone
Picasso
And I’m a genius with my craft, Aristotle
I’m trying to show you the beauty in my music, like it’s a model
No poppin' bottles, I’m staying sober, until it’s done
I clearly wanna see my victory for when it’s over
Cause when it’s over, back to square one starting over

[Bridge]
Mamma always told me be the bigger man
Stop playing all these games and start thinking of a plan
Let them haters talk, they will never understand
Cause it’s the calm before the storm
[x2]

[Chorus]
The calm before the story boy
Mama told me this the calm before the storm
[x4]

[Verse 2]
I feel I’m in the matrix, and life’s a dream
Cause my reality is music to me, so I’m
I’m the chosen one, here to wake you from this nightmare
Music’s dying, because of rappers
They need to wake up, pop the red pill
Instead of popping mollies need to pop some knowledge
Picking Jordans over college
They have the power through the music, to rule the nation
But dollar bills breaking concentration
I had a revelation, I need to blow up
Detonation, so I can teach y'all just like a prophet
While making profit, show you how it’s done and take you higher
Like in the cockpit, I’m sayin'
Mamma told me, greatness is inside of me
I need to tell the world my name boy, Henrī
Let them haters bob they heads all in unity
Dang greatness has arrived, team 2E

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
