Danny Brown - EWNESW lyrics

I was born one day before Saint Pat
I guess a nigga miss luck just like that
Henry Ford, not even one mile from Motown
Explains all the soul that you
Hear in my sound
A ten minute ride to Linwood, I begun
My mama first son, look what I just become
A weedhead with words more potent
Than what I'm smoking
And this ain't no reggie
Caught the plane ride from Oakland
I used to play with pistols in crackhouses
Skippin' school just to fuck
Bitches on dirty couches, abandoned houses
Find one with the lights on it
Landlord came, pulled the hook
Now it's locks on it
Money? I'm plotting on it
I put the block on it
I'm gon' get it, four deep, no shocks on it
We sit low, rep the D 'cause it's all I know
And my name ring bells in any hood you go

You're from the East Side?
(East Side, East Side)
You're from the West Side?
(West Side, West Side)
You're from the North End?
(North End, North End)
Are you from South West?
(South West, South West)
You're from the East Side?
(East Side, East Side)
You're from the West Side?
(West Side, West Side)
You're from the North End?
(North End, North End)
You're from the South West?
(South West, South West)

Around first grade, we move to the East Side
Was like throwing rocks at a beehive
A lot of niggas gone
Over something unimportant
That it ain't worth mentioning
Because it's unfortunate
Like stick a fork in it
Where's the enforcement?
Walkin' off of Gratiot just to
Sit on niggas' porches
Passin' 'round forties, brown paper bags
Rolling up a Swisher while this
Rat freak a Black it ain't about nothing
But let me hold something
Ate a Lunchable for dinner, nigga
I ain't fronting
Caught the bus to Eastland just
To walk around it ain't buy nothing, nigga
Just walked around it
Looked at some hoes, I ain't even holler
'Cause, I'm broke as fuck and they
Is all about a dollar
I'm livin' in the city where
The weak get swallowed belly of the beast
We don't care about tomorrow
I'm livin' in the city where
The weak get swallowed belly of the beast
We don't care about tomorrow

So, dog, you're from the East Side?
(East Side, East Side)
You're from the West Side?
(West Side, West Side)
You're from the North End?
(North End, North End)
Are you from South West?
(South West, South West)
You're from the East Side?
(East Side, East Side)
You're from the West Side?
(West Side, West Side)
You're from the North End?
(North End, North End)
Are you from South West?
(South West, South West)
