Crew

from A Badly Broken Code by Dessa

lyrics

Bartender says,
‘Kid one day you’ll be famous
Which is lucky,
Cause Honey I hate to say it
You ain’t much of a waitress
Even on a dayshift
Clumsy as you are
It’s like we’re paying you
To break dishes.’
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 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 love
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 and my partners,
My plan is Doomtree.

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
A four count.

Chorus

Maybe ain’t a lot
But it’s an honest wage
And what we’ve got
Is what we’ve made.

There’s no love
Like crew love
And that’s true
Cause to me
My friends and my family,
My clan is Doomtree
