The East End

Lyrics

[Intro: CHRIST DILLINGER & Lil Darkie] Okay, so today we're gonna skip all the drug dealing, murder, carnage (Aw, man) Rape, sexual abuse, political nonsense (No political nonsense?) Race issues, neo-Nazi shit Today we're gonna skip all that, we're gonna talk about Mom [Verse 1: CHRIST DILLINGER] I love my mama like she was my best friend Took us to the north side from the west and the east ends And seeing what God did you have to amend All of our Christmas was poverty, and you had to pretend Never easy to read, you were always a blend Something closer than a parent, you were always a friend Do you remember that time I almost got expelled? Fighting niggas in the bathroom when I was ten I thought that you would be mad, but you listened instead Put a roof over my head and put my ass in the bed In a world full with so much sin You made sure I knew right from wrong, and I would never give in And you did it all damn near by yourself Never put nobody in front of me or put me on a shelf Working overtime every single night for a week 'Cause I had holes in my shoes and it was hurtin' my feet And you never let no man disrespect us When the cops came, you wouldn't let them disconnect us I'ma love you, mom, 'til you don't hurt no more And when I'm older, than you won't got to work no more Workin' late nights every night, keeping on my night light Never missed school 'cause you was up before the day light Told me all about America and the black man's plight And helped me get my shit together when my head wasn't right Told me that as a black man, I'ma always have to watch what I do 'Cause no matter where you go in this world Being black makes everyone else watch you And I know you told me go to college and get myself a diploma But you still supported me when I said I wasn't gonna And I love you for that, there's no replacing you I just want you to be proud when I'm facing you [Chorus: CHRIST DILLINGER] We're never going back to the east-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the west-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the east-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the west-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the east-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the west-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the east-end (Everybody clap and dance) We're never going back to the west-end (Everybody clap and dance) [Verse 2: Lil Darkie] I, I love you so much, I want the best forevermore No less, my mama birthed and raised me That's where I get my crazy, taught me to not be lazy Taught me to do my thing You're so strong, you've dealt with so much pain Now I, I can see the sun, I can be your son Move my feet for fun, like mama does I'ma go get those commas 'Cause I, I want to give you the world I want to give you the world, mama I want to give you the world I want to give you the world, mama I want to give you the world I want to give you the world, mama I want to give you the world I want to give you the world, mama I, I love you so much, I want the best forevermore No less, my mama birthed and raised me That's where I get my crazy, taught me to not be lazy Taught me to do my thing You're so strong, you've dealt with so much pain Now I- [Refrain: Lil Darkie] Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step Like oh, oh, one-two, step [Outro: Lil Darkie] You know what the fuck goin' on, nigga It's CHRIST DILLINGER, the greatest to ever do this shit Word up
