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…
