R-Kwon - Ellipsis

As the future pools closer, I reflect a lot
I need to cherish every moment with the family and friends I got
Can't just wither away and rot
Need to piss or get off the pot
Can't pick a character and play the role of someone I'm not
Can't go Back to the Future like Doc saying "Great Scott" or "1.21 Gigawatts"
But I'm gonna treat life like a picnic
Like I won the pick-six
So can I get a witness? (AMEN)
No longer basic, more acidic on the litmus
Test… like a testament
Make sure to prevent or circumvent
The regret from where it could've went
Or gone… I guess I'm moving on
And passing the baton
To a better version of me
To evolve beyond my history
Exist beyond the mystery
Determine what the truth will be
Go ballz to the wall till the day I get got
Whether I burn, I drown, or get shot
When I take my last breath finish my sentence with three dots…
Living out my life like an ellipsis
Like every day is Christmas
And I'm all up in the Sears catalog
Writing my wish list
Like back in the day when things were simplistic
When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed
Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss
Coming home after streetlights came on
Getting a manifesto - a slap on the wrist
When life was a gift
It was a blessing to exist
And that's what I miss
Gonna live my life just like this
Gonna punctuate my life with an ellipsis…
Death is forgiveness, from all of my sinning
It's not an end, it's a grand new beginning
A "to be continued"…
Only in a brand new venue
An avenue we've never even been through
It's lke we're ordering from a secret menu
Doing what we can, canning what we do
It's like a sneeze and everybody simultaneously says "bless you" (BLESS YOU)
We're blessed too, and every once in a while it hits you, it gets you
It gets to you, when you're staring at the truth, when it's staring back at you
When you recognize the world goes beyond the view
Like you're getting a sneak preview
Of something you didn't mean to
It's like you understand for the first time what you already knew
It's impossible to describe it but you feel it too
Those three little dots now represent you…
Living out my life like an ellipsis
Like every day is Christmas
And I'm all up in the Sears catalog
Writing my wish list
Like back in the day when things were simplistic
When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed
Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss
Coming home after streetlights came on
Getting a manifesto - a slap on the wrist
When life was a gift
It was a blessing to exist
And that's what I miss
Gonna live my life after death just like this
I'm on a mission
To break my traditions
To stop being cautious with all my decisions
Maximize my pleasure at the expense of my business
Take it easy on the taking
Learn to spend my time giving
Wasting no more time mistaking
All my enemies forgiven
Throw myself into life like a high-speed collision
Like I'm driving on the Autobahn
I'm tailing and I'm fishing
Driving cause I'm driven
Alive because I'm living
Rack and pinion
Steer clear - no more fear
Change the narrative to make it feel like I'm always winning
Skimming off the top
From the money pit I'm swimming in
Gonna keep indulging
While the world keeps spinning
Gonna keep singing
Like no one else is listening
Gonna keep dancing
Like it makes the world glisten
I'd be despicable letting my life be run by Minions
But if I avoid it I'll be smiling
Always ear-to-ear grinning
Living out my life like an ellipsis
Like every day is Christmas
And I'm all up in the Sears catalog
Writing my wish list
Like back in the day when things were simplistic
When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed
Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss
Coming home after streetlights came on
Getting a manifesto-a slap on the wrist
When life was a gift
It was a blessing to exist
And that's what I miss
Gonna live my life just like this
