Ain't No Happy Endings |
There ain’t no happy endings, 'cause nothing really ends |
When your life is over, another begins |
And that’s the way it works in the circle of life |
Balancing those good days with the times of strife |
There ain’t no happy endings, 'cause nothing really ends |
When this life is over, another begins |
And that’s the way it works in the circle of life |
Balancing these good days in these times of strife |
I’m just trying to make it |
Life’s precious for granted I’ll never take it |
Every breath I breathe to me is sacred |
Back when I was young, my only love was football and my mama |
Learn to use curse words before I ever used a comma |
Little bad ass |
All I liked in school was gym and art class |
Life’s changin', I was age ten when my pop passed |
His love for cancer sticks and alcohol prove to be tragic |
My fam’s seen it all we became immune to havoc |
My lyrics is satisfaction to those who use to be addicts |
Soothin' the beast within all those who use to be savage |
I advocate the acronym F.U.B.U. |
speak to |
As if my tongue was tattooed with the word uhuru |
Using my freestyle to emancipate mind states |
Fuck 21, I’d like to live to see 9−8 |
But this world’s got me going bananas like a primate |
People you thought you knew full of surprises like a blind date |
And I hate |
Cash flashing niggas with a passion |
More to life than dollars and rockin' the latest fashion |
Seems like we either wanna play ball or be assassins |
While children go to bed to lullabies of guns blastin' |
No matter the weather |
I’m striving to make it better |
But my motto is a contradiction «Never say never!» |
I will not |
I remain poetic like Gil Scott |
So stand up, get up |
My people keep your head up! |
And live everyday like it’s your last |
'Cause life only get harder as time goes past |
And yo, the sun might not come out tomorrow |
Don’t let your life end in sorrow |
That’s why you live everyday like it’s your last |
'Cause life only get harder as time go past |
And yo, the sun might not come out tomorrow |
Don’t let your life end in sorrow |
-HOOK- |
I try to live day by day without a fear or a worry |
It’s no time to waste I make moves in a hurry |
Used to be so clear now my vision’s getting blurry |
Streets is hotter than Tabasco sauce on chicken curry |
Bullets fly from guns with no target in particular |
Fatally hittin' ya |
Leavin' bodies perpendicular |
To those still existin' |
Silencers hissin' |
Piercin' the darkness |
Bringin' forth another carcass |
Total bedlam, swear these streets is infested |
Filled with the many horrors that the devil manifested |
Children molested |
Nuclear weapons being tested |
Somehow I avoided being shot or arrested |
Brothers tried to bring it to me |
Send slugs through me |
Almost was bodied thrice back when I was just a juvy |
Hard to deal thought about putting one in my own temple |
Permanent scars on my physical and my mental |
Sometimes I’m glad my niece is no longer around to see this |
Not a trace of unity society’s in pieces |
Liquor spattered on concrete to mourn those that we miss |
Watch day and night, controlled by unseen leashes |
Watch day and night, controlled by unseen leashes |
Watch day and night, controlled by unseen leashes |
Yo, but no matter what… |
You know something? |
This is what you gotta do… |
