the ends by Travis Scott ft. André 3000
"the ends" by Travis Scott ft. Andre 3000 is the first song on the Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight project. Andre 3000 was actually supposed to narrate the album, but ended up doing a verse. Travis starts the intro to the song expressing his loneliness and a need for a specific person to come through for him, which ties to his ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran in 2016. On the breakdown he states how is affiliation with the Illuminati could take a toll on his career while dealing with fake news and betrayal of close friends. It's getting to much for him, so he has to run away from his problems and stay lowkey from people who don't want to see him win in the end. On Andre's verse, he raps about growing up in Atlanta and surviving a time of series of child murders. Growing up with a grim childhood, has made him lose his faith but ultimately recover.
