DILATED PEOPLES LYRICS - Love And War

"Love And War"



[Sample and scratch over Mobb Deep - Give Up The Goods:]

"I got lots of love for my crew that is" [x3]



[Evidence]

Young buck in the game

started off hardheaded stuck in my way

but things change, and days turn to nights

and the nights are cold if your people ain't right

I'll squad it straight, split up the cake in three ways

my partners down, I'm feeling the pain

and when we up, find us out trying to live

"I got lots of love for my crew that is"



[Iriscience]

Old sold. in the game

I grew up stressed out trying to hold in the pain

but kept my mind right, sketched the highlights

I assure life, but fight for my rights

and your right to fight for yours

I fight through four toungues of spikes and swords

the days of thunder the night of tours

its dope to fight the illness that fight the cures



[Chorus]

If it ain't family, I ain't sure

Love is love, war is war

they want theirs, they want yours

"I got lots of love for my crew that is"

Love is love, war is war



[Cuts]

"I got lots of love for my crew that is" [x3]



[Iriscience]

For the love of god

for the love of cats scrambling to beat the odds

hustling and ducking in between the lots

for the love of my family, the streets are ours

the Dj's ripping these beats apart

we got futher spread love, like Peter Tosh

(with magic) classic, we group that shit

"I got lots of love for my crew that is"



[Evidence]

I gotta swallow blood in pride

between love and war is a thin line

its a dangerous time

you better go for yours, cuz I'm going for mine

I'm out to chip in, no doubt before I leave the grind

till then?? - how your gonna win

and how to turn your buds over to our next king

and how your gonna stay focused to read the game

and how your gonna see if you try to stop the bang



[Chorus and Cuts by DJ Babu]
