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
