This Is Not the End
by Thi'sl, V. Rose

Album: Sttag

(Hook)
This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend
This is not how your story ends
? sun, it will shine again

Verse 1
Feels like a dark cloud over me
Pain won't stop
Did Lord come for 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 will make you stronger
And I've been fighting for a long time
How much longer?
I'd rather be laying in the sand, ocean aroma
Or by a pool, ?
But instead I'm in a pool of my own blood
By the hands of some dudes I would've shown love
I grew up cold, I never knew what love was
But 'till that day, I swear to you, I never knew what cold was
I heard them shots ? behind my vertebrate
Mixed with the sound of my throwaway
'Cause Ima fight for mine and ain't no other way
You fight to live, and live to fight another day
I can't believe ?
To walk the world, talking to these kids
Telling them my story
Tryna help them stay up off the streets
Now I'm about to die down 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
? angels all around me
I know that sounds deep
But I knew God had a different plan for me
True story

(Hook)
This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend
This is not how your story ends (story ends)
? sun, it will shine again

Verse 2
They say what don't kill you will 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
Is this ? death they kill ?
I ain't even lying, that hit me different
'Cause all I ever seen ? was spreadin' wisdom
Tryna fix the things He destroyed, He start building
The same people He tried to saved, they still killed Him
That could've been me laying on the pavement
Momma crying, making my arrangements
Friends speaking on me
Tryna offer comfort to my favors
The way we hate each other, it's contagious
Sometimes I wish I would've 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, do my change
That's our slave ship
True story

(Hook)
This is not how the story ends
Keep the faith, persevere my friend
(Don't give up)
This in not how your story ends
? sun, it will shine again

Verse 3
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 ?
Oh, so lift your eyes to the hills where ?
