Lyrics

Crew

[Intro]

The bartender says "Kid, one day you'll get famous

Which is lucky, 'cause, honey, I hate to say it

You ain't much of a waitress, even on a day shift

Clumsy as you are, it's like we're paying you to break dishes"

[Verse 1]

Now the records break like plates

Wrecking stages state to state

Getting bigger like every day

And they say the game's changing

Doomtree stays sharp, raise a blade up

But 'member when we didn't have a dime to stop on

All night tryna write a decent pop song

Dot-net cause somebody already had the dot-com

Get in, let's go, g'head, c'mon

Boys in the basement, beats through a bass amp

Paper's on the breaks and we're all on the radar now, I guess

Digging in and gaining ground, and yes

No matter where we go, I do believe we're all related now

[Chorus]

There's no love like crew

And that's true, 'cause to me

My friends and my family

My clan is Doomtree

There's no love like crew love

And that's true, 'cause to me

My people, my partners

My plan is Doomtree

[Verse 2]

It's been a long walk and it's a steep hill

No time for small talk, no place for weak wills

You mind your business and you try to stay real

Half Dorothy Parker, half April O'Neal

This rock rolls over, light on the horizon

Real slow strobe, night, day and night again

No time now to wonder 'bout what might have been

Eyes on the prize no matter what the critics think

What's got nine lives and lands on its feet?

The Doomtree Franchise, rep wings and teeth

If the hinges creak, then break the door down

All I need is a beat, a break of four count

[Chorus]

There's no love like crew

And that's true, 'cause to me

My friends and my family

My clan is Doomtree

There's no love like crew love

And that's true, 'cause to me

My people, my partners

My plan is Doomtree

[Bridge]

Maybe ain't a lot

But it's an honest wage

And what we've got

Is what we've made

Maybe ain't a lot

But it's an honest wage

And what we've got

Is what we've made

[Chorus/Outro]

There's no love like crew love

And that's true, 'cause to me

My friends and my family

My clan is Doomtree
