Lyrics

"It's love and war, it's love and war, it's love and war, we accomodate those"
"I got lotsa love for my crew that is"

(Let 'em know)
[Evidence]
Young buck in the game
Started off hardheaded stuck in my ways
But things change, and days turn to nights
And nights are cold if your people ain't right
My squad is straight, split up the cake in three ways
My partners down, I'm feeling the pain
And when we up, I find us out trying to live
I got "lots of love for my crew that is"

[Iriscience]
Old soul in the game
I grew up stressed out trying to hold in the pain
But kept my mind right, from sketch to highlights
I enjoy life, but fight for my rights
And your right to fight for yours
I fight through forked toungues of spikes and swords
The days of thunder, the night of tours
It's dope to fight the illness that fights the cures

Chorus
If it ain't family, I ain't sure
"I can't take this anymore"
Love is love, war is war
"I can't take this anymore"
They want theirs, they want yours
"I can't take this anymore"
"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
Hustlin' and ducking in between the laws
For the love of my family, the streets are ours
For djs ripping these beats apart
We puff herb and spread love, like peter tosh
(With magic)
Classic, we prove that shit
"I got lots of love for my crew that is"

[Evidence]
I'd rather swallow blood than 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
Until then, must plot how we're gonna win
And how to turn your buds over to our next of kin
And how we gonna stay focused to beat the game
And how we gonna see if you tryin to stop the fame
