There is no happy ending
I mean we all gon' die
Real shit if Jesus wept that means we all gon’ cry
I mean they all gon' lie
Teach you whatever they want
Feed you whatever they want
Real shit, lead you wherever they want
This ain't a joke to me I stand up and I say what they won’t
I make own path now
I got the torch but I just can't tell who its gon' pass down to
Because Iv'e been around you
I've see your style
I've seen how you move
I know your game and I've seen how you do
And I just can't get with it
2007 I was rocking the fitted
The all black yankee cap when we’d pull up at the mall
Felt I looked broke without a bag, you’d let me carry shit
And now I got these burdens everyday I carry it
I turned my habits into bills and I can't bury it
They hit me on my line, and I just might not answer it
My mom had called me said my father had that cancer shit
There is no happy ending
————
This may be last letter
Man I can’t lie I just can't get it together
Times got hard, but good news at least my dad got better
I grew up faster the summer after
I barely even touched the booth that year
Man them bills went through that roof that year
I'm workin 1-9 and 10-7 (damn)
I can't chill, I fell asleep at the wheel
Its gettin deeper than I expected
Look how it all turned out
I built some bridges it’s amazin how they all burnt now
I bet they'll never crossed me
I wanna think I stayed the same but it's somewhere you lost me
Fr
I know the end is near
I just hate I had to the end this here
I know the difference in something righteous and something evil
I know the difference in praise and worship and praising people
I grew up Pentecostal
At 21 years old and I decide to read the gospel
I started from the beginning, I hit Ecclesiastes. It made me search Inside myself and then “he” really asked me
Is there a meaning to life?
Is there a meaning to work ?
I found some things inside the Bible had me questioning church, Man..
Somehow I stopped attending
…I thought I told you there's no happy ending
I... Won't make the same mistakes twice
2 years after.. it ain't clear I just been rolling the dice man
I know them snakes been eyein me
I... I, I know
Them Jakes been eyein'
I put that price to 25 and then them quakes went flying
I know my mom still praying
Feds did a sweep and that shit kicked me out my lease
And she don't know where I been stayin
I guess she know that now
My life changed and I can't go back now
There is no happy ending

Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 New International Version (NIV)
10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure
My heart took delight in all my labor
And this was the reward for all my toil
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
And what I had toiled to achieve
Everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
Nothing was gained under the sun
12 Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom
And also madness and folly
What more can the king's successor do
Than what has already been done?
13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly
Just as light is better than darkness
14 The wise have eyes in their heads
While the fool walks in the darkness;
But I came to realize
That the same fate overtakes them both
15 Then I said to myself
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also
What then do I gain by being wise?”
I said to myself
“This too is meaningless.”
16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
The days have already come when both have been forgotten
Like the fool, the wise too must die!
