Substantial - Ain't No Happy Endings lyrics
[Substantial - Ain't No Happy Endings lyrics]
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 FUBU 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
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
'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
