Lyrics

HOOK 

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. 

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. 

VERSE 1 
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 past 
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 in all those who use to be savage 
I advocate the acronym F.U.B.U. speak to 
As if my tongue was tatooed with the word uhuru 
Using my freestyle to emancipate mind states 
Fuck 21, I’d like to live 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! 

BRIDGE 

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 goes past 
And yo, the sun might not come out tomorrow 
Don’t let your life end in sorrow. 

HOOK 

VERSE 2 

I try to live day by day without a fear or a worry 
It’s no time to I make moves in a hurry 
Use 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 hiitin’ ya 
Leavin’ bodies perpendicular 
To those still existin’ 
Silencers hissin’ 
Piercin’ the darkness 
Bringin’ forth another carcus 
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 and arrested 
Brothers tried to bring it to me 
Sends 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 peices 
Liquor splattered 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…

Landed in dawn at Charles-de-Gaulle
take the train into the heart of Paris galore,
we in the summertime, and the locals are gone on a
lengthy vacance, outskirts of France
but I'm still kind of in the mood for food
speaking of which, we can walk to the Louvre
a beer on the lawn nearby, tastes smooth
even the facade of the bibliotheque, it's picturesque
Peugeots on cobblestones and
it's a pebble throw from the River Seine
my friend's got a boat, we can dine where
Eiffel's on the wine glass, it's so fine here
Mon chérie d'amour, I'm glad that you seem to dig this vibe or
we can have paella at Menilmontant
a touch of Spain like Miles, my apartment
has a nice view of Père Lachaise
we can visit Cyrano de Bergerac there
so romantic, cross the Atlantic, fall in love with a city that's frantic
in the evening, cars everlasting
in the wee hours no more of blasting the songs in the air of the République
um all I gotta say c'est magnifique

Cycle in circles at Champs-Élysées
feels like a dream swimming in Alizé,
is it all cliché, well excusé moi
but if it's not taboo yet like foie gras
would like to invite you for petit déjeuner
then watch a matinée that you wouldn't undo
un deux trois, ça va bien et toi?
juste comme ça, we could dance ce soir
evidently, my elementary vocab
wouldn't prohibit me from catching a cab
to Notre Dame ou Port de Pantin,
I can see the art on the streets and get a tan
travelers gather at Gare du Nord
and marvel at the grand design extraordinary
architecture, celestial texture
wanna let you know, spell it out in a lecture
bravo, echo, sierra, tango
I've gotta let go, remember Van Gogh
charlie alpha november my lingo
reach your mind and the cheers salvo
est-ce qut tu comprends ce que j'écris?
Le sacre du printemps, burst of ésprit
tout les jours unique, like a piece of antique
um all I gotta say c'est magnétique

Get off the number two at La Chapelle
Yakkle beats playing walking under a spell
ring the door bell from the bottom then the ascenseur
to the rooftop, bonjour monsieur et mademoiselle
actually yo wassup to the crew,
but you gotta keep it proud like Les Blues
it's your first time, comment allez-vous?
though I'm not trés afraid to make a fool
out of my derrière, merci beaucoup,
I got the old map rocking a Shoop from Madrid and off to Berlin demain
watch a match featuring Paris Saint-Germain
a trip to the toilette? please don't be long
pourquoi? parce que nous nous ennuyons
just kidding you piqued my nuance with one peek
oui all you gotta say c'est métaphysiques

Champ Magnétique

夜明けにシャルル・ド・ゴールに着いて
電車でパリの中心部に乗り込み
夏場だから、ローカルの人たちは
長いバカンス、フランスの郊外へ
でも僕はまだ食事のムード
丁度、ルーブルまで歩いて行けば
近くの芝生でビールはスムーズ
図書館の外観も絵になるね
石畳にプジョ、そして
すぐ側にはセーヌ川が
友達のボートで夕飯はいかが
ワイングラスにエッフェルが映って綺麗
僕の大切な人、この雰囲気が気にいって良かった
それともメニルモンタンでパエリアでもどう？
マイルスみたくスペインのタッチ、僕のアパルトマンは
ペール・ラシェーズの眺めが良くて
そこでシラノ・ド・ベルジュラックに会えるよ
本当にロマンチック、大西洋を越えて、忙しい街に恋に落ちる
夜には車の交通が絶えず
夜更けにはレピュブリックの空に曲をかけるのも止めて
僕が言いたい事は、セ・マニフィーク（素晴らしい！）

シャン・ゼリゼをサークルでサイクル
アリゼで泳ぐみたいに夢心地
すべてお約束だって？それは失敬
それでもフォアグラみたいにタブーじゃなければ
朝食にご招待したいんです
それで後悔しないマチネーを観て
1, 2, 3, お元気ですか、貴方は？
そんな感じで今宵は踊りに行きませんか
明らかに、僕の幼稚な語彙でも
タクシーを捕まえるには問題ない
ノートルダムかポルト・ド・パンタン
ストリートのアートを見て日焼けして
旅行者はガル・デゥ・ノールに集まり
非凡なデザインに感嘆する
建築は天上のテクスチャ
教えてあげる、レクチャーで一語一句
ブラボー、エコー、シエラ、タンゴ
すべて赦して、ファン・ゴッホを思い出す
チャーリー、アルファ、ノベンバー、僕のコトバ
君のココロに届けば、拍手喝采
僕の書いている事が分かりますか？
春の祭典みたいな、エスプリの爆発
いつもユニーク、アンティークのように
僕が言いたいのは、セ・マネティーク（魅力的だ！）

ラ・シャペルで二番線から降りて
ヤックルのビートで歩きながら魔法にかかって
ドアベルを鳴らせば、下からエレベーター
屋根に行けば、ボンジュール、ムッシュ
マドモワゼル、実はクルーにワッサップ
だけど、レ・ブルーのように誇りを
君も初めて、コマンタレブー？
でも僕は馬鹿にされるのも怖くない
自分の尻も、メルシーボーキュー
オールド・マップはマドリーのシュープから、明日はベルリンへ
パリ・サン・ジェルマンのマッチを応援して
トワレに行くなら、早く帰って来て
何故なら僕らは退屈しているから
冗談さ、一目で僕のニュアンスがピークした
そう、僕が言いたいのは、セ・メタフィジーク（とらえがたい！）
