lirik lagu nico roberts - the end
[verse 1: nico roberts]
they paint a mural of me, then they spit on the frame
call me a prophet, but laugh when they curse my name
f~ck the system, it’s rigged, got us stuck in the chains
every b~tch in the boardroom countin’ blood like it’s change
fans scream “legend,” but they flip when you slip
dumbass critics love to gossip just to cash in quick
talk about my sins like i never had none
like they ain’t f~ckin’ dirty too, pointin’ fingers for fun
i gave the world my pain, they gave me numbers and plaques
but behind the curtains, i see thе knives in they backs
b~tch smile on thеy face, envy deep in they eyes
i rose from the gutter, they prayin’ for my demise
i f~cked up a lot, but i never faked my walk
society hate truth, they’d rather dress it in chalk
i been on the edge, scribblin’ my fears on the page
they want a puppet, not a man breakin’ out the cage
f~ck the awards, them statues just dust to me
one grammy, six trophies, still chained mentally
i remember every night i was broke in the dark
now they treat me like a god, but won’t protect my heart
they call it fame, i call it a public prison
every b~tch with a mic tryna judge my vision
they love you when you rise, when you fall, they switch
turn “legendary” to “washed,” like a filthy b~tch
but i’m a soldier, i spit with scars in my voice
never had peace, just pain dressed up as choice
i know the day gon’ come when they drag me out
sayin’ “f~ck him, he fake, he just ran his mouth,”
but my words live longer than they crooked lies
even in death, i’ll haunt the world through rhymes
if i die tonight, let the sky crack open
and the streets play my name like the last one spoken
i bled for this culture, gave it pieces of soul
they took every spark just to keep control
industry’s a b~tch with a smile that lies
feedin’ me poison while toastin’ to my demise
they clap when you fall, cheer when you drown
but i swim through the hate, i won’t slow down
i been betrayed by the ones i fed
turned brothers to snakes, now they wish me dead
ain’t no loyalty left, just contracts signed
with fine print bloodstains that erase your mind
society’s sick, they feast on pain
turn prophets to puppets for a lil’ gain
but i see through it all, my pen’s my shield
every bar i spit makes the fakes reveal
i’m cursed and blessed, it’s a f~cked~up ride
but i’ll burn this world if they touch my pride
if the end is now, let me stand real tall
better die with truth than to live and crawl
[chorus: nico roberts]
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
[verse 2: nico roberts]
they worship power, not truth, just f~ckin’ greed
poisonin’ the youth with the lies they feed
dumbass laws made to keep us weak
while the rich sip wine, the poor can’t eat
they sell us dreams through a plastic screen
but behind the curtain, it’s a filthy scene
politicians b~tchin’, ho’s dressed in suits
k!llin’ hope daily, but they hide the proof
f~ck the cops, they shoot without thinkin’ twice
another mother cries, but they roll the dice
this society built on blood and fraud
they pray to paper, not a righteous god
every kid on the block lookin’ for a way
but the system h~~rds keys, locks doors every day
they profit on prisons, on bodies in chains
they laugh in the boardrooms, countin’ our pain
b~tch ceos sippin’ from diamond cups
while the streets flood red when the guns erupt
they love to see us fight, they love the divide
f~ck unity, they profit when the poor collide
i’m callin’ out every ho who claims they care
charity’s a front, they just build they share
it’s all a game, fame just another tool
to turn the prophets into f~ckin’ fools
but i see it clear, i can’t stay blind
if i speak too real, they’ll erase my mind
but if this the end, let me spit my truth
expose every b~tch runnin’ lies to the youth
they poison our water, then sell us cures
diseases designed to keep profits pure
fake news channels feed fear on loop
dumbass sheep follow lies from the stoop
schools ain’t schools, they just factories made
to k!ll free thought and enforce the blade
religion twisted, used for greed
preachers with pockets too fat to bleed
they claim salvation but they ride in jets
while the homeless starve, they collectin’ checks
it’s a cycle of lies, repeat and spin
society’s a b~tch, but i won’t give in
i’ll scream the truth till they cut my breath
every bar i drop gon’ outlive death
if the world gon’ burn, then light the match
expose every system, no strings attached
[chorus: nico roberts]
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
[verse 3: nico roberts]
i remember pac, i remember nip
legends spoke the truth, then they vanished quick
society love martyrs, but hate the man
they fear the f~ckin’ rebel who don’t follow the plan
if i fall, will they honor or spit on my name?
will they play my records or just laugh at the pain?
i know how it goes, i seen this road
they praise you in death, but alive you’re cold
f~ck the labels, they leeches disguised in suits
every b~tch with a contract diggin’ roots
they love my streams, not my broken soul
just another number they can’t control
i gave the world stories, cinematic pain
but they still want blood when the hits don’t gain
society fickle, they’ll turn on a dime
one f~ck~up, they erase your prime
i’m tired of the gossip, tired of the lies
tired of the fake~ass friends in disguise
they gon’ take my truth, twist it to dirt
but my legacy flames every time they hurt
so if the end comes quick, let it come with fire
let the beat break bones, let the truth inspire
i’ll stand in the flames, middle finger high
f~ck the world if it means i die with pride
i’m ready for the dark, i’ve been livin’ there
ain’t no b~tch society gon’ make me scared
i’ll carve my name in the stone, no b~tch erase
even when they spit hate, i’ll haunt this place
[segue: nico roberts]
“they’ll love you today, and hate you tomorrow
they’ll build you a throne, then burn it down when you sleep
but remember this — the truth lives longer than the lies
and every flame leaves light, even in the end.”
[chorus: nico roberts]
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
is this the end, or the start of a flame?
they love you for the hits, not the man in the pain
society’s a b~tch, tryna steal my soul
but i’ll burn through the night till they lose control
[verse 4: nico roberts]
the end don’t scare me, i been dead inside
society’s a b~tch, but i still won’t hide
they tried to break me, tried to chain my flow
but the real live forever, that’s all i know
f~ck the critics, they ain’t lived my scars
f~ck the dumbass system, f~ck they bars
i rose from the gutter, carved my way
now they waitin’ for my last, for the end of the play
but i spit this fire like my final breath
and i’ll fight this world till there’s nothin’ left
the end is near, but i don’t regret
‘cause i lived this life with no f~ckin’ debt
so when i fade out, let the record spin
let ‘em hear my voice, let the pain begin
and tell the world: this the last of me
but my truth gon’ live for eternity
every scar i wore was a lesson learned
every bridge they burned, i let it burn
i never begged love from a crooked crowd
i stood alone, but i spoke out loud
the end’s just a word, not a chain to fear
i been k!llin’ my demons for years and years
so when silence comes, let it sound like peace
my war is done, let the flames release
i’ll haunt this world with the lines i wrote
every verse a weapon, every rhyme a note
if this is my curtain, then close it slow
let the ashes speak what they’ll never know
[spoken outro: nico roberts, stevie wonder]
man, sometimes i feel like i’m carryin’ a coffin on my back
every stage i touch, it feel like it could be the last
do you know what it’s like when the world loves you
but deep down you scared they just waitin’ for you to fall?
they clap, they scream, they sing the words…
but do they love the man, or just the music?
that’s the curse of the gift, my brother
they see the light, but they don’t ask who’s burnin’ to make it shine
i lived it too, the highs, the lows
the way they praise you today, then crucify you tomorrow
but the truth is—what you give ‘em lasts longer than their judgment
your pain outlives their gossip
yeah but what if they twist my name?
what if they take my story and f~ckin’ break it into cl!ckbait?
i don’t wanna be remembered as a meme
or some dumbass headline with no soul
i wanna be remembered for the f~ckin’ truth i spit
for the nights i bled into this mic like it was my last breath
they’ll never own the truth unless you hide it
you’re already doin’ what they can’t:
speakin’ your heart without chains
fame don’t last, but honesty does
that’s why marvin still echoes
that’s why pac still walks through the speakers
but tell me… does it end with silence?
does the stage fade and the world forget?
‘cause some nights, i feel death breathin’ on my neck
and i wonder if i’m just runnin’ toward the inevitable
death ain’t the end, son
it’s the echo that matters
legends don’t die, they transform
your voice, your scars, your rage—
they’ll live in the ones who needed it
even when you’re gone, they’ll still find you between the lines
so you sayin’, even if they drag me down
even if they call me a b~tch, a fake, a fraud
my words gon’ stand taller than their hate?
exactly
‘cause the end don’t belong to them
it belongs to you
and if you spoke truth
then truth gon’ outlive every lie they write
then let this be my scripture
if they erase me, the echo gon’ scream louder
if they bury me, the soul gon’ rise higher
f~ck it—let the end come
‘cause the end is only the beginning
(~silence~)
but stevie… what about when the money fades?
when the tour lights dim, and i’m sittin’ in silence with just demons?
what about when the friends disappear
and i realize half of ‘em were just eatin’ off my plate?
i can’t tell who loves me and who just loves the fame
that’s the price of the climb, my brother
but listen—if love disappears with the spotlight
then it was never love to begin with
true souls don’t need stages, they need your presence
and when the rest vanish, that’s when the real remain
i swear some days i feel like a f~ckin’ fraud
like they crown me a king, but i’m still cryin’ like a child
like every lyric i spit is a plea for somebody to hear me
but all they want is bangers, all they want is noise
n0body asks if the man behind the voice is dyin’
oh, but they’ll feel it—
every tear hidden in your rhythm, every scream tucked in your rhyme
even if they never ask, you’ve already answered through the music
that’s the curse and the blessing:
they’ll never know your full pain
but they’ll heal from the fragments you share
and what about god?
i been yellin’ his name in rage
but sometimes i think he left me in the dark
watchin’ me drown while the crowd claps
am i wrong for sayin’ f~ck it?
god never leaves, son
he just lets the storm test the tree
and i see your roots dig deep—
so deep that even fire can’t burn ‘em out
he’s in your breath, in your words
in the silence between the notes
so you mean even when i curse him
he’s still right here, lettin’ me fight it out?
still lettin’ me fall just to see if i’ll rise again?
man… that’s some f~cked~up love
maybe so
but sometimes the hardest love
is the only one that saves us
but what if my story ends too soon?
what if the bullets catch me before the applause stops?
then your words will outlive the flesh
legends don’t die, they echo
so even if the world buries me in lies…
the truth gon’ rise through the speakers
that’s right
and when the end comes, you won’t be alone—
your voice will guide the next soul searching in the dark..
