Respect My Cripin

Intro

Yeah

Uh

Long Beach on my back

Let me talk to 'em

Chorus

Respect my cripin when I walk up in the room

Respect my cripin ain't nobody finna move

Respect my cripin from the corner to the moon

Respect my cripin

Respect my cripin

Verse 1

Twelve years old first time I seen the blue rag fold

Uncle showed me how the corner really holds

Crooked little alley where the older homies post

Mama worked doubles so the streets raised me most

I ain't choose this life it kinda chose a kid

Blue laces in my shoes that's exactly what I did

Teachers called me trouble I was trouble I admit

But the block taught me loyalty before I learned to read

Chorus

Respect my cripin when I walk up in the room

Respect my cripin ain't nobody finna move

Respect my cripin from the corner to the moon

Respect my cripin

Respect my cripin

Verse 2

Rollin down the shoreline windows barely cracked

Bass so deep the pavement wanna talk back

Lost a couple brothers that I never get to call

Still hear 'em laughing in the summer when it falls

I ain't proud of every chapter I just tell it like it is

Raised my little sister on a promise and a fist

Now they see the blue and wanna question who I am

But I been standing ten toes since I was a young man

Chorus

Respect my cripin when I walk up in the room

Respect my cripin ain't nobody finna move

Respect my cripin from the corner to the moon

Respect my cripin

Respect my cripin

Bridge

Hold up

Let me slow it down

For the ones that ain't here

For the ones still around

For the block

For the name

For the blue in my veins

Say it loud

Chorus

Respect my cripin when I walk up in the room

Respect my cripin ain't nobody finna move

Respect my cripin from the corner to the moon

Respect my cripin

Respect my cripin

Outro

Yeah

Long Beach

Respect it

Uh
