Silkk rose to fame in the mid-to-late 1990s, releasing records through Master P's label, No Limit Records. His self-titled debut, The Shocker, was released in 1996. Silkk was featured on Master P's 1998 hit, "Make 'Em Say Uhhh!" and had a minor rap hit with his own single that same year, "It Ain't My Fault," featuring label-mate Mystikal. Silkk also performed with R&B singer Mya on the second single released from her self-titled debut album, "Movin' On." In 1999, Mya and Silkk collaborated on the lead single from his album "Made Man." The track, titled "Somebody Like Me," went on to become one of the year's top-selling singles on the Billboard charts. Since then, Silkk has released two additional solo albums: "My World, My Way" in 2001 and "Based On A True Story" in 2004. Neither release generated the same success he enjoyed in the late 1990s. Silkk was also featured on World Wrestling Entertainment's Wreckless Intent album, which was released on May 23, 2006. The song he performed on the album, I'm Comin', has since been used as the theme song for SmackDown! wrestler M.V.P. Silkk also performed former SmackDown! wrestler Orlando Jordan's theme song, Do It Big.
End Of The Road
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
?? how I miss my homies so
I don't expect y'all to understand this
Cause y'all ain't never lost nobody
But imagine the closest person to you
See everybody feel it
But some of us
Feel it more than the rest
It only add
More to the stress
I try to live my life day by day
And ignore the rest
It's so FUCKED UP
I can feel life
More than I feel death
Split second
And picture
The family's being torn
I gotta tell my little nephew
His dad wasn't around
To see him being born
When we get older
Playing with our kids
He just sittin' all alone
You know what his last birthday wish was
He wishes daddy come home
And while I'm at the funeral
Contemplating sittin' in strap
He looked up to me
Gave me a hug and asked me
"Silkk, where my daddy at?"
Question I couldn't answer
Tell him a vacation
And somehow I wish
If I tell him this enough
Maybe one day
He just might forget
(Chorus)
I guess I'll be seeing you
At the end of the road (end of the road, I'll see y'all there)
You know it ain't easy
Lettin' my homie go (end of the road, I'll see y'all there
(repeat)
(Silkk)
Now I learn ??
I miss my homies so
Even though
My homies gone
Try to be strong on my dawgs
Used to hit me
But I'm home alone
All the memories I got of you
Shining like the sun
I used to invite you to my house
We used to fight
Who gone sleep in the top bunk
We used to
Throw rocks
To the cops then we'd run
We was so tight
We got caught
Both of us
They got just one
I remember dawg
We just like
Kick back and laughed
We grew up a little bit
Life made us choose a
Different path
You chose to get a job
And I sold and dealed
You choose to go to school
And i chose the streets
I was the one that
Always lived fast
You used to want to live slowly
As I look in the casket
I though for sure
It was supposed to be me
Damn I lost my dawg
It's cold but its fair
And I contemplate to myself
Would it have been different
If I would've been there
I guess we'll never never
Never know
But I know one thing
Why's it always the good ones that got to go
(chorus2x)
(Silkk)
It's never easy
To let your loved ones go
Tomorrow now promise me
Tell me something that your loved ones know
A straight bullet in the neighborhood
Got a little girl
Holdin' her breath
In my arms I closed her eyes
She died while I was
Holdin' her chest
I couldn't change
Even though the game was file
Through all the pain
Maintain
Still find ways to smile
And grandma(grandmama got sick)
And they fixed her to bed rest
The family was fightin' over who? left the money to
Picture this you won't even dead yet
And I'm sick of this east and west coast crap
This east and west coast trap
Lost two of the biggest mc's
To east and west coast rap
Rest in peace Biggie
Rest in peace Pac
And all them other soldiers
Make us see it??
The song "End of the Road" by Silkk the Shocker featuring Sons of Funk is an emotional tribute to loved ones who have passed away. The opening lines are a reflection of the sorrow and pain he feels after losing close friends and family members. Silkk admits that it's difficult for others who haven't lost anyone to relate to these emotions. He imagines the listeners picturing the closest person to them and the idea that one day, they will have to let them go.
Silkk's verses paint a picture of memories shared with his friends, from playing with his nephew to throwing rocks at cops. He reflects on the paths they chose in life and how it led them to different destinations, but the bond they shared remained strong. The lyrics are filled with grief as Silkk mourns the loss of his loved ones, including a little girl who died after being hit by a stray bullet in her neighborhood. The chorus repeats the sentiment of one day meeting his friends at the "end of the road" and the pain of letting them go.
Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing the people we love.

?? how I miss my homies so
I deeply miss my friends who have passed away
I don't expect y'all to understand this
I understand that not everyone will understand my feelings
Cause y'all ain't never lost nobody
Because you have not experienced the loss of someone close to you
But imagine the closest person to you
But try to imagine losing the person closest to you
See everybody feel it
Everyone experiences grief
But some of us
However, some of us
Feel it more than the rest
Experience it more deeply than others
Just think about it
Just take a moment to think about it
It only add
It only adds
More to the stress
More to the stress that I'm already feeling
I try to live my life day by day
I try to live my life one day at a time
And ignore the rest
And ignore everything else
It's so FUCKED UP
It's so messed up
I can feel life
I can feel the emotions of life
More than I feel death
More than the emotions of death
Split second
In a moment
And picture
Imagine
The family's being torn
The family is being torn apart by death
I gotta tell my little nephew
I have to tell my young nephew
His dad wasn't around
His father was not present
To see him being born
To witness his birth
When we get older
When we become older
Playing with our kids
Playing with our own children
He just sittin' all alone
He is left alone without his father
You know what his last birthday wish was
Do you know what his last birthday wish was?
He wishes daddy come home
He wished for his father to come back home
And while I'm at the funeral
And while I'm at the funeral
Contemplating sittin' in strap
I am considering sitting while wearing a gun
He looked up to me
He looked up to me, his uncle
Gave me a hug and asked me
He hugged me and asked me
"Silkk, where my daddy at?"
"Silkk, where is my father?"
Question I couldn't answer
A question that I couldn't answer
Tell him a vacation
Tell him his father went on a vacation
And somehow I wish
And in some way, I wish
If I tell him this enough
If I keep telling him this repeatedly
Maybe one day
Maybe someday
He just might forget
He might forget about his father's absence
I guess I'll be seeing you
I guess I will see you
At the end of the road (end of the road, I'll see y'all there)
At the end of our journey through life, I will see my friends who have passed away
You know it ain't easy
You know that it is not an easy process
Lettin' my homie go (end of the road, I'll see y'all there
Losing my friend and having to move on through life
Now I learn ??
Now I understand
I miss my homies so
I miss my friends so much
Even though
Despite the fact that
My homies gone
My friends have passed away
Try to be strong on my dawgs
I try to be strong for my friends
Used to hit me
We used to hang out often
But I'm home alone
But now, I'm alone
All the memories I got of you
I have so many good memories of you
Shining like the sun
Memories that are bright and happy
I used to invite you to my house
I used to invite you to my home
We used to fight
We used to fight with each other playfully
Who gone sleep in the top bunk
We used to fight over who would get the top bunk bed
We used to
We used to do this all the time
Throw rocks
We used to throw rocks
To the cops then we'd run
At the police, then we would run away
We was so tight
We were so close
We got caught
We got caught doing something illegal
Both of us
Both of us together
They got just one
But only one of us was punished
I remember dawg
I remember, my friend
We just like
We were alike
Kick back and laughed
We would relax and laugh together
We grew up a little bit
We both matured a little
Life made us choose a
But life made us make different choices
Different path
We chose different courses in life
You chose to get a job
You chose to work a job
And I sold and dealed
And I chose a life of selling drugs
You choose to go to school
You chose to pursue your education
And i chose the streets
And I chose to take part in street life
I was the one that
I was the one who
Always lived fast
Always lived recklessly
You used to want to live slowly
You wanted to live a more calm life
As I look in the casket
As I look at your body in the casket
I though for sure
I thought, for certain
It was supposed to be me
It should have been me who died
Damn I lost my dawg
I lost my friend
It's cold but its fair
It's harsh, but it's the reality
And I contemplate to myself
And I think to myself
Would it have been different
Would things have been different
If I would've been there
If I had been there with you?
I guess we'll never never
I suppose we will never
Never know
Know for sure
But I know one thing
But I know something for certain
Why's it always the good ones that got to go
Why is it always the good people who have to die?
It's never easy
It's never an easy process
To let your loved ones go
To say goodbye to someone you love
Tomorrow now promise me
Promise me
Tell me something that your loved ones know
Tell your loved ones something that they should know
A straight bullet in the neighborhood
A stray bullet in the neighborhood
Got a little girl
Hit and killed a young girl
Holdin' her breath
As she held her breath
In my arms I closed her eyes
I held her in my arms and closed her eyes
She died while I was
She died
Holdin' her chest
While I was holding her close to me
I couldn't change
I couldn't do anything to change what happened
Even though the game was file
Even though life was unfair
Through all the pain
Despite all the pain that I feel
Maintain
I try to keep going
Still find ways to smile
Still find reasons to smile
And grandma(grandmama got sick)
And my grandmother became sick
And they fixed her to bed rest
And she was confined to bed rest
The family was fightin' over who? left the money to
My family was arguing over who would inherit her money
Picture this you won't even dead yet
And she was still alive at the time of the argument
And I'm sick of this east and west coast crap
I'm tired of the rivalry between the East and West coast in the music industry
This east and west coast trap
This trap that people are falling into of choosing a side in the rivalry
Lost two of the biggest mc's
We lost two of the biggest rappers
To east and west coast rap
To the rivalry between the East and West coast
Rest in peace Biggie
Rest in peace, Biggie Smalls
Rest in peace Pac
Rest in peace, Tupac Shakur
And all them other soldiers
And all the other people who have passed away
Make us see it??
Help us see the reality of life and death
