End Up Like This Lyrics


Yeah
Hey, yo, we used to be young, dumb, full o' cum
Bubble yum, bubble gum, with no funds
But we still had fun
Don't worry, be happy, that's what we was
We was family, caring for loved ones
Blood relatives, first and second cousins
Brothers all from the same mother
Now we act like we don't know each other
We used to play with toy guns
Now we bust real ones
Shoot 'em up Kill Bill style and fashion
Hey, yo, what happened?
Hey, yo, what happened?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?

Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Hey, yo, the vision that I'm seein' ain't the same no more
We used to tell the girls we love 'em, now we calling 'em whores
Summers of the past was a blast when we cooked out
But now we grab the phone, sit alone and order take out
Kids playin' outside, yellin' out names
Now the fun and excitement's in the video games
Brothers used to speak "What's up," "How you"
Now it's "Homie", "Who the heck" and "Why he lookin' at you?"
It really blows my mind how we changed our direction
As the years go by, I gotta ask this question
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
We-a dire need but what the empire need
When you lyin' to me, it seems so fine to me
I got a glass eye that reflects the fast fly
Then my acne [Incomprehensible] the latchkey cool
I used to want to hit the streets to hide my fault
The life at the [Incomprehensible] or the pain I've caused
The damage I laid was covered up with praise
'Cause, Momma, did you know that I had changed my ways?
But don't judge me, harass my clique
We only doin' this, 'cause the neighborhood permits
So try to explain, just one thing
What if we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Yeah, I'm runnin' muddy and graffiti understudy
To switchin' to musician and children across the country
Trips to Cuba and tours with Santana
Help me not to flip this statement and endure these bad manners, man
They ain't chasin' but came to main
'Cause inducing caine is a beast
To sustain your brain pressure
Tryin' not to see the fact that you da man
Leave the plan [Incomprehensible]
'Cause your choices affect your band members in the air, shit
Later for business, what happened to friendship?
The rest is just nonsense
My natural response is to just to roll up our fists and ask
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?
Da da da
How did we end up like this?

Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
