This Is Not the End Songtext
von Thi'sl

This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend
This is not how your story ends
Soon the sun, it will shine again

Feel like a dark cloud over me, pain won′t stop
Dear Lord, comfort me, rain won't stop
I took everything they threw at me, I wouldn′t stop

But after everything they threw at me, I get shot?
They say what don't kill you it make you stronger

And I been fightin' for a long time, how much longer?


I′d rather be laid in the sand, ocean aroma
Or by a pool, skin gettin′ tanned in Arizona
But instead I'm in a pool of my own blood
By the hands of some dudes I woulda shown love
I grew up cold, I never knew what love was
But ′til that day I swear to you I never knew what cold was
I heard them shots buck behind my vertebrae
Mixed with the sound of my throw away
'Cause I′ma fight for mine, it ain't no other way
You fight to live and live to fight another day

I can′t believe all that I done did
Then walk the world talkin' to these kids
Tellin' them my story, tryna help ′em stay up out the streets
Now I′m about to die out in the streets? (No way)
I can't believe that, that′s not what I'm gon′ think
Not what I believe, not what I'm gon′ speak
Felt angels all around me, I know that sound deep
But I knew God had a different plan for me, true story

This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend
This is not how your story ends
Soon the sun, it will shine again

They say what don't kill you it make you stronger, yeah
God blessed me with a gift and a vision
That don't include me locked up in a prison
Livin′ out my last days in the system
And since we on the subject of death, they killed Nipsey
I ain′t even lyin', that hit me different
′Cause all I ever seen cuz doin' was spreadin′ wisdom


Tryna fix the things he destroyed, he start buildin'
The same people he tried to save, they still killed him
That coulda been me layin′ on the pavement

Mama cryin', makin' my arrangements
Friends speakin′ on me, tryna offer comfort to my babies
The way we hate each other, it′s contagious
Sometimes I wish I woulda been alive on them slave ships
To help preserve the knowledge and the wisdom that we came with
I was sent to help free the slaves that I came with
Money, fame, and drugs, them my chains, that's our slave ship
True story

This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend, oh
Ooh, no, don′t give up, yeah
This is not how your story ends
Soon the sun, it will shine again, oh

Ooh, oh, no
Ah, ah, ah, mmm, ah, ah, ah
Jesus
I assure you that your story goes on

We already know the end
Only God will judge, but only Jesus
Can save you from your sin
Oh, Jesus, oh
He'll stand with his arms stretched wide
And tell God for you he died
So you can fly, yeah
Oh, so lift your eyes to the hills
