[Intro]

And continue to rock the mic, right? (This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D, all the way, all the way, all the way)

Yeah, now

This right here (Y'all better)

Y'all better (Y'all better), get y'all acts together (Acts together)

This right here (This right here)


[Chorus]

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

Follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

Follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D (D), the E-N-D (D), the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D


[Verse 1: Imani]

Now, every day I wake up, I take out time

To give thanks that I'm still existing

Still insisting that my people open up their eyes up

And wise up so we all can rise up

Way above (Above), the rim of the muck

But we can't if we're stuck and I don't give a fuck (Fuck)

And lost in a daze (Daze), lost in a maze (Maze)

Trapped in amazement

And hard as cement is the head

And that's why soon, everything'll be dead

And red is the color of the blood that's spilling

And hella amounts is the totals of the killing now

I'm tellin' you that the sky is falling

But all you worrying about is sky-balling

You're falling way outta control

And you ain't doing nothing but losing your soul


[Chorus]

And this ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

Follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D (D), the E-N-D (D), the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D

Now this ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free (The E-N-D)

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D


[Verse 2: Kamau]

Well, I suppose that time is coming to a close

I got no need for jewels, cars, and clothes

Need to slow my roll, but can't grab control

It's unpredictable when we will go

I don't really know, but it seems it's coming soon

The way that niggas actin', we headed for our doom

But we assume that we immune to death

While niggas drippin' sweat, tryna hold they breath

But, uh, they slept while the time just crept

Now they tryin' to awake, but it ain't much left

Sometimes, I think we blind with no hope or faith

My people can't wake up, we sleepin' through the day

Think it's all great, but to me, it really ain't

When it's time to face reality, we turn to a drink

Or some dank, then we can't think straight

Let's try to make a change 'fore it get too late 'cause


[Chorus]

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D (This right here)

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

Follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D (D), the E-N, the E-N


[Verse 3: Imani]

Now every day I wake up, I be rolling down the street (Rolling)

Pumping my beat, but they try to defeat my cause

But I'm a rebel, so I can't pause

But all these laws (All these laws)

Up, up is how I try to keep (Keep), but shit (Shit), still gets deep (Deep)

Deep (How deep?), deeper than a motherfuckin' grave

And it's about that time, I be more than a slave, so


[Chorus]

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D (D), the E-N-D (D), the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D (This right here)

This ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D

Now this ain't nothin' but the E-N-D

So follow me into the sun and let your soul be free

The E-N-D, the E-N-D


[Verse 4]

Ridin' with the rhyme hunter, the punter of the wack MC (The E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D)

Gonna be a goner, steppin' up to the E

I'm furious, leavin' you curious

How did he do that?

Who that master man with the master plan who thinkin' faster than the slower?


[Outro]

Nothin' but the E-N-D

You know the time, yo

I wanna give this shout out to my man M. Walk, you know what I'm sayin'?

Comin' through with the phat-ass, phat-ass, you know what I'm sayin'?

You know what time is it

You know what time is it (The E-N-D, the E-N, the E-N, the E-N-D)

I will not be blitzed
