Lyrics
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
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
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
Nah, 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, shit 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, when I truly feel free yo
JC Livin' Never Gonna Give In
Downtown, Greenville, Heroes, Villains
JC Livin' Never Gonna Give In
