Lyrics

It's love and war
It's love and war
It's love and war
We accommodate those (C'mon)
(We accommodate those, c'mon)
(We accommodate those, c'mon)
I got lots of love for my crew that is
(You know, you know, you know)
I got lots of love for my crew that is
I got lots of love for my, for my, for my crew that is
(Bad move)
Dilated
Let 'em know
Young buck in the game
Started off hard-headed, stuck in my ways
But things change, and days turn to nights
Your nights are cold if your people ain't right
My squad is straight, split up the cake in three ways
My partner's down? I'm feelin' the pain
And when we up, find us out tryin' to live
I got (Lots of love for my crew that is)
Yeah, old soul in the game
I grew up stressed out tryna hold in the pain
Kept my mind right, sketched the highlights
I insure life, but fight for my rights
And your right to fight for yours
I fight through four tongues of spikes and swords (Swords)
The days of thunder, the nights of tours
It's dope to fight the illness that fights the cures
If it ain't family, I ain't sure
Yeah, yeah, love is love, war is war
(That's real, that's real)
They want theirs, they want yours
Yeah, I got lots of love for my crew that is
Love is love, war is war
I got lots of love for my crew that is
I got lots of love for my crew that is
For my crew, for my, for my crew that is
I got lots of love for my crew that is
(Dilated) For the love of God
For the love of cats scramblin' to beat the odds
Hustlin' and duckin' in-between the lost (Oh)
For the love of my family, the streets are ours
The DJ's rippin' these beats apart
We prefer to spread love, like Peter Tosh
(With magic) Classic, we prove that shit
I got lots of love for my crew that is
I'd rather swallow blood than pride
Between love and war is a thin line
It's a dangerous time
You better go for yours, 'cause I'm goin' for mine
I'm out to chip in, no doubt before I leave the grind
Until then (What?), let's plot how we gonna win (Woo)
And how to turn these buds over to our next of kin
And how we gonna stay focussed to beat the game
And how we gonna see if you tryin' to stop the bang
If it ain't family, I ain't sure, uh c'mon
Love is love, war is war
(That's real)
They want theirs, they want yours
C'mon, I got lots of love for my crew that is
Love is love, war is war
I got lots of love for my crew that is
I got lots of love for my crew that is
For my crew, for my crew that is
I got lots of love for my crew that is
Listen up, listen up, oh
Dilated
I got lots of love for my crew that is
Got the war y'all, there's war
There's love and there's war
I got lots of love for my, for my crew
For my, for my, for my, for my crew that is
There's love and there's war
