Song Meaning
Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s “The Epilogue (For Me)” is a reflective rap about success, identity and staying humble. He opens with a hard part of his story, a season of depression with extreme highs and lows. He points out that followers and designer clothes do not make anyone special, and that some people take their lives because they cannot carry the pressure.
He talks about a digital age where faces are buried in phones like invisible graves, and where people compete to be seen. His answer is to be who you are supposed to be, because that honors God. In the chorus he says he finds his treasure and pleasure in the Lord, that nothing this world offers compares, and that he has a future in the clouds where the streets are made of gold. The second verse says music is what he does and not who he is. He would still be amazing waiting tables and washing pots and pans, because of the image he was made in. He repeats his father's advice not to let talent take you where character can't keep you, and he warns that constant winning makes faithfulness harder. His steps, he says, are ordered by a great God, and he is learning to be content through feast and famine. The song is a good listen for artists, athletes and anyone chasing recognition.
Pride before a fall is Proverbs 16:18. Steps ordered by the Lord are in Psalm 37:23, and the worth of the soul is Matthew 16:26.

Went through the great depression
I'm talking Extreme highs and lows
A lot of IG followers that ain't what makes you special
Posted up with designer clothes
A lot of ppl take They life cause they can't take the pressure
Hiding behind they talent
Most people don't really feel you if you ain't successful
If you never reached your desired goals
Vicious cycles ambition these are interesting days
It's hard not to compete in a digital age
Faces buried in our phones like invisible graves
Pictures taken it's no honor in minimum-wage
I remember my 9-to-5
You can do both have a job and kill it on Spotify
Never compromise
Can only dot your I's (eyes)
Just be who you supposed to bethat's how you honor God
Whatever's meant to be is to be
Whatever God has for me is just for me
In him I find my treasure
I find my pleasure
I feel so breathless
There's nothing this world can offer now
I have a future in the clouds
Where the streets are made of gold
There's something to look forward to
This world can't have my soul
No no
Music is what I do it's not who I am
Same human that momma saw on da sonogram
Because of da image that I been made in
I would still be amazing waiting tables washing pots and pans
Da Joneses boy it's so hard to keep up
Slow down when you riding on speed bumps
I can still hear da wisdom of my father like,
Don't let talent take you where character can't keep ya
I guess it's time that we racing against
Uninterrupted success is one of the greatest of threats
It's hard to stay faithful to God when u keep winning
So Everytime God bless us boy he taking a risk
Stay humble young lion, stakes high
There's hyena inside of you that should hate pride
Don't hit the panic button when your numbers take a stage dive
You can relax your steps are ordered by a great God
Whatever's meant to be is to be
Whatever God has for me is just for me
In him I find my treasure
I find my pleasure
I feel so breathless
There's nothing this world can offer now
I have a future in the clouds
Where the streets are made of gold
There's something to look forward to
This world can't have my soul
No no
I been loved and hated
Praised and underrated
Through feast and famine
My status has been debated
The least advantaged
Some would say that I made it
Since I reached a status
Humbled by my creator
So I never changed
Boy I'm still on my p and q's
When they try to get to compromise
I tell them N-0
Boy cause I'm on my P and Q's
And I'm just not that kind of guy
If it's for me then it is for me
I guess that's captain obvious
I use the music to set the people free
That's why I like a captive audience
I'm just trying to get you across,
Build you a bridge
Cause applause is so paper thin
Top to bottom
Balling and broke I seen it all
And I'm learning to be content
Whatever's meant to be is to be
Whatever God has for me is just for me
In him I find my treasure
I find my pleasure
I feel so breathless
There's nothing this world can offer now
I have a future in the clouds
Where the streets are made of gold
There's something to look forward to
This world can't have my soul
No no
