And once it hits his brain, it starts to chain react
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
So before we go any further, I want my ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
So he ends up on his back in the bloody pool
DMC, they was toting guns
I knew these two homeboys that made a lot of noise
Ain't no saving, she's doin' enough spending
And then one disappeared and one got robbed
They was tougher than leather like Reverend Run
Stackin' mad chips and pushin' phat whips
He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar
Making money on the block, kids was on they jock
Forgot to count how many times he been blessed
But now he's waiting tables 'cause there's rent to pay
From the Wetlands, all the way to the Apollo
Fly jewels and clothes and got no job
He's losing all his teeth, now he's out in the street
So before we go any further, I want my ends
Ends, some people will rob their mother for the ends
If you're broke she's spittin', if you're rich she might swallow
Shopping sprees get her on her knees
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Brand name wearing, champagne waving
Swinging that butt like race you out here
And if you hit her with keys to your crib, you acting funny
Can't find a job, he's feeling kind of stressed
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
For the ends, some people will rob their mother for the ends
Only rapped the Benz and rocked the fly gear
I knew this cat named Darrell, he didn't have a dollar
He sells the shirt off his back, shoes off his feet
For the ends, some people will rob their mother for the ends
Doesn't even feel the effects when he says
You do the lending, she'll do the bending
Come home one day, find her counting out your money
Had a PhD., had an M.B.A.
So before we go any further, I want my ends
Holdin' weight, goin' out of state
I knew this chick named Sally, she had a nice strut
Tryin' to stick up kids for their watches and chains
So before we go any further, I want my ends
So he falls off track, starts smokin' the crack
And all of sudden he's like Jesse James
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
For the ends, some people will rob their mother for the ends
Companies downsizing, inflation's rising
Straight machine vending, it's money for take
But he's from business school and he's nervous with the tool
And everywhere that I went, she was up in the cut
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
Jewels around the neck, life style she's craving
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
