EWNESW, Acronym for E= Eastside, W= Westside, N= North E= End, S= South W= West. In this song Danny talks about his hometown Detroit, and how people from Detroit used to ask which part of Detroit he was from, therefore the title EWNESW.
This song comes after the songs that talk about the downfall,...
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)
