Book Ends

Yeah, yeah
Mysterious
(We just beginning) Dex, Rug

Is the story gonna end soon? Only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

Is the story gonna end soon? (No) only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

Is this the book ends? No, I ain't from Brooklyn
Back when the mob was deep, y'all was shook then
Oh, now y'all don't want me to chill? Let me cook then
Every time they try to trap me, I de-book them (let's hope every time)
Every time they spread the myths, I debunk them

Now everybody gossiping, what is your function?
We finally at the fork in the road, I'm at the junction
I'll never be comfortable (never) at y'all luncheon
Why do I feel most at home in the dungeon?
Sitting in the cloud of my smoke, it's so pungent

Fuck it, let me light up another stick
Even with the vaccination, I'm still sick
Every day's the same toilet, it's still shit
And everybody's just scrambling, Mike Vick
I hope they still show me love after the pit (fall)
I guess you never truly lose until you quit (dog)

Is the story gonna end soon? Only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell (all hell)
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

Is the story gonna end soon? Only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

If this the last chapter, I'm praying for life after
Sometimes it feels like we just waiting for the rapture
That last shot had him crying, Embiid versus The Raptors
Oh, you a funny guy like Kawhi? Fucking bastard

It's heavy, I need a new balance, if it even exists
Don't tell me it's raining when it's really just piss
And when they throw a pound, (that shit) it's really a fist
And them backhanded compliments is really a diss

I tell 'em like Udoka, you really a bitch
Checkmate, read 'em like poker, I really do this
Cook up bars like a chef, Curry, I don't miss
Attitude never been cavalier, this the last kiss (uh-huh)

You never truly know when it's gon' be your last dish
I couldn't solve all my troubles with one wish
And if a man lose his soul, is he still rich?
It's gotta be more to life than the Forbes List

Is the story gonna end soon? (It's gotta be) only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

Is the story gonna end soon? Only time tells
You know when things break loose, then it's all hell
If all of us don't succeed, then we all fail
So put away the book ends, we gotta prevail

We gotta, we gotta
It's just the beginning
Praying for life after
Feels like we just waiting for the rapture
(Last shot had him crying) no, uh-huh
(Embiid versus the Raptors, uh-huh)
