murdock - jc livin' lyrics

[verse 1: murdock]
jc raised me it gave me the crown
i feel like now i owe it all to give it back to my town
we divided, gentrified us, it’s new business they found
so i captured lightning in a bottle and made thunder my sound (what’s up!)
so now i’m underground but the storm is rising up
yuppies wanna stop me, cause it seems that i ain’t white enough
you frighten us so lighten up
i hope you brought some fries with brunch
you shaking walking through my neighborhood
you better hide your bluff
so hop back on your citi bike
and pedal downtown if you ain’t about this city life
read up on your blog like you think you know what gritty like
thinking”if we had a whole foods, it would be really nice”
tear my city up well imma lay it down
and show you i’m the king so listen in to every verb and noun
a single soul can change the world and make it profound
but if we organize together we can turn it around
and keep on

[hook: murdock and jack blerry]
jc livin’ never gonna give in
downtown, greenville, heroes, villains
jc livin’ never gonna give in
downtown, greenville, heroes, villains
jc livin’ never gonna give in
downtown, greenville, heroes, villains
jc livin’ we never gonna give in…

[verse 2: jack blerry]
i’m from where factories used to factor into our skylines view
i’m from where the crimes were on par with the grime
and at night you were a walking dead dude#
but it’s all good, got my roots planted in the hood
and i still grew into a tree that somehow flew
all the new gents and ladies
who triplicate lately
i used to shun them
they got my city for the taking
but they can never take my memories and size
my settled in vibe walking by the 1 and 9
i remember grove street with the whole team
see ny city right by my city sh#t was so gritty
somehow so fitting now i’m reminiscing
my spirit and soul and family’s forever imprinted
i love jc, made me to an mc
when i’m walking these streets is when i truly feel free yo

[verse 3: murdock]
imma make jersey city mine again, who said it was yours?
i’m never shuttin down shop while you open your stores
you acting like you just discovered us, who were we before?
city full of pride and culture till you showed us the door
and i got jersey city blood flowing all through my veins
got that luke cage skin, i am feeling no pain
breaking free from the system, breaking out of the chains
i’m a new breed of man science can’t even explain
cause it’s nature over nuture
streets they wanna hurt ya
common sense is self defense
use your brain they’ll never murk ya
on my john locke flow, started off with a blank slate
pressed record on my walkman and spit on a blank tape
the rest wrote itself and it was carved in the stone
that the lyrics in my dome would lead me straight to the throne
but now my city has grown, future now is unknown
but you can bet your bottom dollar i’m not leaving my home, because we
