Mr. Lif - Ol' Crew lyrics

This is too much Praying for a mic to clutch I used to sit up with my man Dave-O; and smoke blunts We were upstate New York Cold, thinking of a plan To flip our lyrical sk**s So we could make grands Have thousands of fans Travel state to state Up north, down south But it all started at this house Words left his mouth And got the ultimate respect I outstretched my arm And gave him a pound cause he correct And who was up next? In retrospect it was me A short little fly n***a Ready to emcee I would kick a free Or maybe somethin premeditated Dave would get crazy hype And say I elevated And that encouragement was my nourishment I took his positive words to heart And kept flourishin' And brother: I don't know where you are now Cause we haven't spoken for a while And I'm without a number to dial But everytime I think about you I smile 'nuff respect for helpin' me Develop my style Ol' Crew These are people you once knew Everybody got a different goal to pursue Don't forget your peoples No matter what you do And this goes out to you And you and you and you I dropped outta college Now I'm in Long Island Chilling with the ?? Freestylin' It was me ?? ?? alpha And a mega-dread power crew 'nuff said The taught me to roll locks Upon my head Then they laid down the law And this is how it read It say: Grow, never to cut and Never seperate them That's forbadem And to this day I've obeyed them We pull our money together To get food and brew Then sat in front of the television ??? Commercialized rap backs And f** the radio, too n******gs turn off that bullsh** Pop ?? kung fu Twist up to ?? So we can express Please keep the ?? from moving 30 seconds or less These are times I'll never forget I ?? But nowadays ??? But things change and people grow apart But listen to my rhyme And feel the love in my heart Cause I'm still standing And my ears mad strong Go to mrlif.com And let me know what's going on Ol' Crew These are people you once knew Everybody got a different goal to pursue Don't forget your peoples No matter what you do And this goes out to you And you and you and you Sometimes people part ways for good reasons Their nature wasn't pleasing Or ?? treasin' Has made himself invisble And rather than talking Somebody turned their back And just started walking Tears started rolling up And cry held 'em back When you look back You lack tact Of course remorse Can be a deadly force When you realize How much you loved the things that you lost Everything, including life, is temporary So I hope that everybody in my life ?? knows how Much I truly love ?? And this include my cousins And my fans ?? So I plan To shake hands by the dozens Moms and my pops But excluding the cops Barbershops and The lunatic n******gs who bust shots I'm devoted to y'all To my physical rocks I gotta stop (gotta stop) Yo, I'm just sharing my thoughts Ol' Crew These are people you once knew Everybody got a different goal to pursue Don't forget your peoples No matter what you do And this goes out to you And you and you and you
