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