The East End
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
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 10
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
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)
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, uh
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-
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

It's CHRIST DILLINGER, the greatest to ever do this shit
