Origins, Part Two (Calm Down) ft. J-Ideas Lyrics

So that's how Poseidon got started

From flows spiling out of a man that was broken-hearted

Now it wasn't the first time he referenced the god

But it stabilized the waters and for him that was cathartic

With the characterization of rushing tides

Being manipulated whenever ELJAY decided to up and slide

Knew that taking on the tide would end up a coup de grace

For his pride, but God reassured him: "I'm on your side,

And since you're My child, you should understand resurrection's light,

But can't nobody kill what I put inside you

I gave you tools to get through all these pools"

and God's words? They channeled a fire

Inside him that hasn't died,

no wonder he's moving loud and confident when he ride

Enlightenment hit him like lightning but didn't frighten him

He stopped caring about what others thought

And made a decision on it right there and then to

Utilize that power to write and inspire

So he picks himself up, even when he gets tired

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everything matters dog)

He used to be starry-eyed, but this clarity's brighter

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everything matters dog)

He can't stop now, not the way that he's wired

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everythang matters dog)

Ain't no need to cause waves just to elevate higher

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everythang matters dog)

Calm down

A week later getting dinner with his dad

When he felt a vibration from a Facebook tag

Sees the name and smiles, ain't heard from him in in a while

Dude sent him a verse to close out his next album

And that shit was wild

Forgot about it until later when he checked the page

While facetiming a friend about the day's events and

hold on hold on hold on, what

What? Wait he's dissing me, like for real

What is this

Saw the shots he been sending for days and how it correlates

And got confused to why the home chose to handle it this way

Devil on his shoulder slowly said "I thought you both were cool"

He turned to him like "Nigga me too!"

"And he did that public when your number's in his phone

Nah that nigga did that public when he's been inside your home

Nah that nigga never been your friend, fuck it

Ain't shit to light his ass up

Oh that nigga food, gone stir fry his ass up"

And as much as ELJAY had a reason to pop

God spoke and told him to ignore the last shot

"I know these waters threatening, but it ain't nothing I can't mop"

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everything matters dog)

All his anger diffused cause it wasn't worth the squab

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everything matters dog)

K1NG of Oneself, ain't no drama to unroll

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everythang matters dog)

He resides in the eye, but this storm he can control

(You got no choice in the matter dog, everythang matters dog)

Calm down
