Crew54 - For the Love (feat. D-Wattz)Chorus: D-WattzSitting there, pen and padSpitting raps, drowning tears, wishing thatI can help to make a change some dayHoping that they play the words I sayNow I'm getting there, looking backNever ever getting where I started atAfter all these years and the moves I've madeStill do it for the love, still I ain't got paidVerse One: D-WattzEight years and counting, choke my pen in the coldI wept and dreamt on her shoulder, never slept when I hold herFelt the warmth through my storms, never caved on her, soldierNow she's flaming but I couldn't be brokerSitting here, old, lonely, burnt pen and a fortyThrow my lighter to the fire, hit her, pass to my homiesStraight sex or glory, write a story and rollRespect her prose, let her go, watch her come back roaringHoping hand slaps turn in to hand clapsTo give birth to chapters, speaking volumes of rapNo bastards, all classics, baby, steps been hadBetween dad and love and where the orphanage atBetween first picking her up for a benz and a dealTo growing beards, shooting blanks. jaded, untilI stop to listen to her voice just for something to feelHalf empty bottles, sobs, swallowsPick her back up tomorrow, for real, I'm stillChorus: D-WattzSitting there, pen and padSpitting raps, drowning tears, wishing thatI can help to make a change some dayHoping that they play the words I sayNow I'm getting there, looking backNever ever getting where I started atAfter all these years and the moves I've madeStill do it for the love, still I ain't got paidVerse Two: G-ChristI do it all for the loveTwenty-four seven and I ain't got paidAs I look back at all the versesAll the hooks and ideas of songs I've madeDealing with shows when the only audience is friendsDealing with hoes that's close cause they think you making endsAnd this is what I asked 'em forBut a chance to emcee, I couldn't ask for moreMidweek nights, knowing that I gotta go to workFuck it, I'm still head heaving though I'mma be hurtConstantly, looking for inspiring proseYelling and screaming, trying to get the fire out my throatBut I'm in it for the long haulAnd if you trying to break my spirit than you fucking with the wrong dogMy feel for the game is too strongNegative vibes, they just get dropped as I move onChorus: D-WattzSitting there, pen and padSpitting raps, drowning tears, wishing thatI can help to make a change some dayHoping that they play the words I sayNow I'm getting there, looking backNever ever getting where I started atAfter all these years and the moves I've madeStill do it for the love, still I ain't got paidVerse Three: M.O.S.The words I write stain the paper like a trail of tearsBut I'm aware, even if at first I fail for yearsAt the show trying to please an angry faceless mobSometimes working mics is such a thankless jobThere's no overtime pay or a holiday rateAnd where I lay's the most overlooked place in the stateBut yet and still, I don't do it for an hourly wageI do it for the freedom I get from rocking the stageLost in disgrace, I went from kicking rhymes on the curbTo blessing y'all with the hottest spits that y'all never heardIt's absurd the amount of love I have for the craftAnd I'm going to do it 'til I'm in the coffin, flat on my backDriving hours out of town for a ten minute setIn the game as a rookie with the skill of a vetCause I love the mic and love fans who show me respectAnd I love the ones that love me but just don't know it yetI'm stillChorus: D-WattzSitting there, pen and padSpitting raps, drowning tears, wishing thatI can help to make a change some dayHoping that they play the words I sayNow I'm getting there, looking backNever ever getting where I started atAfter all these years and the moves I've madeStill do it for the love, still I ain't got paid (repeat)© 2006 DVZN Media, Millinium VII Entertainment, & Texas Immigrant Records / Produced by Precise of Illite Productions / Mixed by Crew54 & D-Wattz / Mastered by Crew54 & D-Wattz / Recorded at Daisy Power Studios & M7 Studiosslaprapz.com | #WattzForever
