Jean Grae – My Crew lyrics

[Verse

1] My
family dream with me Under
city lights Pump
the light The
screamers rights Just
work it out but ya'll ain't hearin' it Words
Travel deep in your spirit alone I
cruise the block And
use the box To
serenade the moonlight with the speakers Niggaz
lean back deep, in your seats and feel me Cliques
and crews n' hoods and gangs who love it I'm
lovin', you dearly Keep
hustlin' Jugglin'
Pressure
life, and, success Those
who made it Debate
it Until
another's deaf We
buried ourselves under the jail Without
shovels and, dirt under our nails Bubbles
with crime and trouble tales And
street violence turned extreme (Calling
out names) To
rippin' joints on stage To
cuttin' fame time short To
life supportin' nothin' But
just realize what ya'll done We've
given 'em reasons to scream on us And
it's just begun What
happened to us in the bigger picture Don't?
you understand when one of us falls Step?
and we're all fallin' with ya c'mon
yeah [Hook]

If
you believe Then
I'll sing And
you'll believe that (All
I need is the love of my crew) (Yeah
Right) That
maybe you will do what you're supposed to do Don't
even say That
you're better than this Repeat
1X [Verse

2] I
represent for a nation thought, we was in it together But
I guess it gets strange when money rains in sunny weather Tougher
than leather We're
weaker than glass And
shattered on the side of the road Trying
to get a ride but, pass each other fast Closed
Aves' Throw
hash Ice
and Whips Have
blinded us Never
mind How
the mind just trips for glitch Shit
niggaz Rich
niggaz got us in tow If
it's not enough they gotta put us all on a show Ya'll
lost me Somewhere
between wakin' and coffee That
shit changed so quick I
didn't blink and it cost me Fuck
it it, costs us Do
you even know where we at Fuck?
you and, that we're here You
can't even open the map Rap's
dead Rap
sucks But
thanks to ya'll for Killin'
it Grillin'
it down And
spillin its guts And
fillin' it Back
up with trash Wait
..up I mean cash Bangin
( )?too synonymous With
media politics (You
know they love it) [Hook]

If
you believe Then
I'll sing And
you'll believe that (All
I need is the love of my crew) (Yeah
Right) That
maybe you will do what you're supposed to do Don't
even say That
you're better than this Repeat
1X [Verse

3] What
ya'll fightin' for For?
the light of the raw battle Naw
Can't!
be the latter 'cause
music just doesn't matter right Maybe?
I'm pinchin' emotions To
broken ears And
livin in years When
shit was spoken clearly Without
all the bullshit Pullin'
Clips Replacin'
games with court gestures Bought
pressers Proclaimed
the best is paid And
just forsake the rest Who
made it possible to be spittin' If
you got the same type of us women That's
grinnin' Then
the joint will keep spinnin' I
swear It's
like swimmin' with sharks In
public pools in shallow water And
some of these artists are fuckin' your youngest daughter Feel
me ain't?
no real fam Niggaz
is playin you Trust
me I wouldn't let my brother have his way with you I'm
only stating facts Shit
is plain as flood lights We
drop 10 I
want to fuck you maybe, 2 1, mics I'm
just tryna keep it done right One
to Unity I
want our crew to be Just
like it used to be [Hook]

If
you believe Then
I'll sing And
you'll believe that (All
I need is the love of my crew) (Yeah
Right) That
maybe you will do what you're supposed to do Don't
even say That
you're better than this Repeat
