rex white - ecclesiastes 2:10 lyrics

there is no happy ending
i mean we all gon’ die
real sh-t if jesus wept that means we all gon’ cry
i mean they all gon’ lie

teach you whatever they want
feed you whatever they want
real sh-t, lead you wherever they want
this ain’t a joke to me i stand up and i say what they won’t

i make own path now
i got the torch but i just can’t tell who its gon’ p-ss down to
because iv’e been around you

i’ve see your style
i’ve seen how you move
i know your game and i’ve seen how you do

and i just can’t get with it
2007 i was rocking the fitted
the all black yankee cap when we’d pull up at the mall
felt i looked broke without a bag, you’d let me carry sh-t
and now i got these burdens everyday i carry it
i turned my habits into bills and i can’t bury it
they hit me on my line, and i just might not answer it
my mom had called me said my father had that cancer sh-t
there is no happy ending
————
this may be last letter
man i can’t lie i just can’t get it together
times got hard, but good news at least my dad got better
i grew up faster the summer after

i barely even touched the booth that year
man them bills went through that roof that year
i’m workin 1-9 and 10-7 (d-mn)
i can’t chill, i fell asleep at the wheel
its gettin deeper than i expected

look how it all turned out
i built some bridges it’s amazin how they all burnt now
i bet they’ll never crossed me
i wanna think i stayed the same but it’s somewhere you lost me

i know the end is near
i just hate i had to the end this here
i know the difference in something righteous and something evil
i know the difference in praise and worship and praising people

i grew up pentecostal
at 21 years old and i decide to read the gospel
i started from the beginning, i hit ecclesiastes. it made me search inside myself and then “he” really asked me

is there a meaning to life?
is there a meaning to work ?
i found some things inside the bible had me questioning church, man..

somehow i stopped attending
…i thought i told you there’s no happy ending

i… won’t make the same mistakes twice
2 years after.. it ain’t clear i just been rolling the dice man
i know them snakes been eyein me
i… i, i know
them jakes been eyein’
i put that price to 25 and then them quakes went flying

i know my mom still praying
feds did a sweep and that sh-t kicked me out my lease
and she don’t know where i been stayin

i guess she know that now
my life changed and i can’t go back now

there is no happy ending

ecclesiastes 2:10-11 new international version (niv)

10 i denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
i refused my heart no pleasure
my heart took delight in all my labor
and this was the reward for all my toil
11 yet when i surveyed all that my hands had done
and what i had toiled to achieve
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun
12 then i turned my thoughts to consider wisdom
and also madness and folly
what more can the king’s successor do
than what has already been done?
13 i saw that wisdom is better than folly
just as light is better than darkness
14 the wise have eyes in their heads
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but i came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both

15 then i said to myself

“the fate of the fool will overtake me also
what then do i gain by being wise?”
i said to myself
“this too is meaningless.”
16 for the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
the days have already come when both have been forgotten
like the fool, the wise too must die!
