Everlast - Ends

Ends, some people would rob their mother for the ends

Rat snitch on one another for the ends

Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends

So before we go any further I'm on my ends
 
 

I knew this cat named Dale who didn't have a dollar

He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar

Had a PHD, an MBA

But now he's waitin' tables 'cause there's rent to pay

Company's down sizin', inflation's risin'

Can't find a job he's feelin' kind of stressed

Doesn't even feel the effects when he says

Forgot to count how many times he's been blessed

So he falls off track, starts smokin' the crack

And once it hits his brain it starts a chain react

Sells the shirt off his back, the shoes off his feet

He's losin' all his teeth, now he's out on the street

And all of the sudden he's like Jesse James

Tryin' to stick up kids for their watches and chains

But he's from business school, and he's nervous with the tool

So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool

For the ends
 
 

I knew this chick named Sally, she had a nice strut

And everywhere that I went she was up in the cut

Swingin' that butt like 'place your ad here'

Only rapped the Benz and rocked the fly gear

Brand name wearin', champagne wavin'

Jewels around the neck, a lotta style she's cravin'

Ain't no savin', she's doin' all the spendin'

If you do the livin', she'll do the bendin'

Straight machine vendin', that's money for tail

Shoppin' sprees get her on her knees

And then you hit her with the keys of your krib you actin' funny

Come home one day find her countin' out your money

From the Wetlands all the way to the Apollo

If you broke she's spittin' if you're rich she might swallow

For the ends
 
 

I knew these two homeboys that made a lot of noise

Makin' money on the block, the kids was on their job

They was toughin' it and livin' like Reverend Run

DMC they was tokin' guns

Hold and wait, goin' out of state

Stackin' mad chips and pushin' phat wears

Fly jewels and clothes and got no job

And then one disappeared and one got robbed

For the ends
