Rollin' through the streets, it's a Crips affair Back in the '80s, we had the flair Black bandanas, lowriders in sight C-Walkin' to the rhythm, ownin' the night From Compton to L.A., we ran the show Crips on the rise, makin' sure they know We were the ones with the power and respect Holdin' it down, never showin' neglect (Chorus) Crips, we were the kings of the streets Runnin' the game, never acceptin' defeat Black and blue, we repped it right Crips in the spotlight, takin' flight (Verse 2) We were the crew with the cold-hearted style Movin' in silence, never crackin' a smile Takin' what's ours, never askin' for permission Crips on the move, makin' strategic decisions The 80s were our glory days Ruthless and fearless, makin' our own ways Standin' tall, never backin' down Crips were legends, the talk of the town (Chorus) Crips, we were the kings of the streets Runnin' the game, never acceptin' defeat Black and blue, we repped it right Crips in the spotlight, takin' flight (Bridge) But the streets ain't a place for forever Violence and division, it don't make us better Time to rise above, find a new way Leave the past behind, a brighter day (Chorus) Crips, we were the kings of the streets Runnin' the game, never acceptin' defeat Black and blue, we repped it right Crips in the spotlight, takin' flight (Outro) As the years go by, we'll always be remembered The Crips legacy, strong and untethered But let's strive for peace, unity, and change Leave behind the past, a new path to arrange
