Lyrics for The End

And it will be the end I'm warning all (Hell no, we won't go) And it will be the end And if the blind lead the blind All are going into the ditch This is Martin on the balcony This is Malcom giving a speech at the Audubon Shot down by his own faculty This is Marvin shot by his own family This is Lee Morgan shot by his girlfriend This is the end This is when shit gets intense Yo, this is when shit hits the fan This is when Al-Qaeda slash an airplane into the pentagon This is Jimmy's sleeping remedy gone wrong This is 2Pac in Vegas This is Biggie Smalls back in Cali This a junkie 'bout to take his last hit in an alley This the grand finale, my man, this is the last stand [?] with the gas cans Slaves jumping off of slave boats into the ocean This is O.D.B. overdosing This is Kurt Cobain loading a shotgun Blowing his brains all over Washington This is the slaughter, son, this is the end This is the last draw at war This is the last door The one thing you don't ask God for This is the meteor that killed all the dinosaurs This is not the final four, nah This is the end Yeah, beginning and ending I come to bless your dome Heads get blown, said rappers that convalesce at homes Each word of my lyrics should just be etched in stone Langston Hughes in the spirit when I express the poem The provolone, the cheese, gouda, the Fetty guapa I even with vegans, nigga, and shit a Whopper They raise a gun to their people but never hear the copper Seek fortress from evil before I shit with chakras My philosophy is iller than Socrates On point like isosceles, with verbal atrocities You operate sloppily, we murder your mockery It's Dag Sav prophecy, we shit on your comedy Alpha and Omega, arm, leg, a leg A arm, head sector on a slave ship to Mecca Treat the booth like it's the house of the Lord Why are there still so many rappers, I got thousands more Last days when a nuclear cloud pours acid rain From the neocon policies gone insane When the black lungs collapse and the black rivers drain And you don't wanna burn so you put a bullet in your brain instead The same thing that Revalations explained, last days When the highways collapse, this ain't the final four This is a rap about how it's a rap about The last time we wrapped around the corner 'fore the route expires Either drowning in the flood or you're doused in fire You could climb a mountain and hide in a cave But everywhere will burn, my G, there's no escape Apocalypse means the unveiling of the fate When you reject God's word and give the Devil your embrace When every layer is betrayer, every level gets erased Last days for the ghettos and the upper-class communities Irony through the death, the classes finally found unity Hiding underground, where they probably found you and me Huddled in the corner, even the coroner will die off Ain't no amount of money to prevent it, ain't no buy-off The last days, end of watch God turn the light off This is osmosis Broke minds buy into hypnosis Live streams that divide king's eyes from divine focus You was dead in the delivery room It's all hopeless 'cause your Heartbeat ain't in tune with the universe The flesh is a tomb, the mind is a tool The heart is the part where revolutions push the body to move You ready to lose? Got the mathematics confused If you're trending on the Gram niggas are rocking my news Ooh, what a deep truth, they don't see the bleak proof You ignore the wisdom when you're thinking with a sweet tooth Power is warm, but cadavers is cool Babies walk the green mile just to make it to school What can you do? The needle stay stuck in the groove Why you praying for a god when you're fucking a fool? D.O.A., stillborn, show me what to build on It can't be the ground that my people getting killed on Black lives get shattered 'cause they don't matter Bodies full of bones for the prisons to be built on We in the last days, trapped in black haze Freedom is the sacred ground we never got to live on Skinny legs, big belly, preaching you to stand strong Short life, but think twice, it's starting to feel mad long If this is the end, I'll take my mask off Missile's like, count me down, 8, 9, 10, we have blast-off The end of the line is the beginning So what's next, once failed, just stay strong for the winning First diversion in the sinning I'm tryna be the last days with a bat in the ninth inning This cat past his ninth life, the end Holding my wife, but then I get hit twice in a knife fight I see the middle of the night coming with fright We all gotta fight and unite for what's right A see a version of it like, we try to unite We get in one place for the cops to say goodnight They pull the guns and they shoot, but they bulletproof We hit back, it don't work, they kill another two So what you gonna do, mad You blast back with two rounds But you only put one to the ground You hear a sound, you go to the ground, you look up A mushroom cloud hit the earth, ch-ch-blaow Well I'm the last man on the planet And I know because I walked to Japan All the way from Los Angeles I swam across the Atlantic And it's true, I really am the last man standing I panicked at first, then I said, "Wait, I'mma make this work" Then I started walking the whole Earth Then I started thinking, "What if I'm just dreaming? What if I pinch myself and find out I'm just sleeping?" So I closed my eyes and when I opened them I seen people dying from opium, kids starving in Ethiopia I seen Muslims go to war with Christians I seen slavery lynches, I seen shit I can't even mention I seen a man convince a population to drink his juice I seen Bishop die at the end of Juice I seen Jews face the Holocaust I seen who Gs pour out they're 40-ounce bottle for I done seen shit I don't know how to describe I played Scarface, I never seen a man cry 'Til I seen a man die I think I seen the face of the anti That's why I got baptized, I seen the fate of bad guys The faith of the rabbi, the kings of nations lie Maybe I'm tripping, maybe I won't get shot if I'm Cripping Maybe I smoke rocks and won't get addicted Maybe I'm on a mission, maybe I don't know how I'mma end it Or maybe this is how I end it This is the end The end of their power and their authority to rule (Hell no, we won't go)
