The structure is a simple plural noun borrowed from "end" (a district or extremity), used to refer to a local area. It is used in British Multicultural London English (MLE) and UK slang to mean one's neighborhood, local area, or the place where someone grew up. People typically say "Back in my ends" or "He's from the same ends as me." The term originated in early 2000s London street and grime culture, drawing from the idea of the "ends" of a borough or postcode, and remains common in UK urban slang and rap lyrics.
