House Of Pain – Ends

CHORUS:

Ends

Some people will rob their mother for the ends

Rats snitch on one another for the ends

Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends

So before we go any further I want my ends

I knew this cat named Darrel who didn’t have a dollar

He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar

Had a Ph.D., had an M.B.A.

But now he’s waiting tables ’cause there’s rent to pay

Companyies downsizing, inflation’s rising

Can’t find a job, he’s feeling kinda stressed

Doesn’t even feel the effects when he’s ‘sessed

Forgot to count how many times he been blessed

So he falls off track, starts smokin’ the crack

And once it hits his brain it starts to chain react

Sells the shirt off his back, shoes off his feet

He’s losing all his teeth now he’s out in the street

And all of a sudden he’s like Jesse James

Trying to stick up kids holding watches and chains

But he’s from business school and he’s nervous with a tool

So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool

For the

CHORUS

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 ya ad here

Only rappin’ mens that rock the fly gear

Brand name wearin’, champagne wavin’

Jewels around her neck, a lotta style she’s cravin’

Ain’t no savin’ she’s doin’ all spendin’

If you do the lendin’ she’ll do the bendin’

Straight machine vendin’ it’s money for take

Shopping sprees get her on her knees

And if you hit her with the keys to your crib you actin’ funny

Come home one day, find her countin’ out your money

From the Wetlands all the way to the Apollo

If you’re broke she’s spittin’, if you’re rich she might swallow

For the

CHORUS

I knew these two home boys that made a lot of noise

Makin’ money on the block and kids was on they jock

They was tougher than leather like Reverend Run

DMC, they was totin’ guns

Holdin’ weight, going outta state

Stacking mad chips and pushin’ phat whips

Fly jewels and clothes and got no job

And then one disappeared and one got robbed

For the

CHORUS (2x)
