Lyrics

Corner store sunrise, milk crate throne
I learned the game on a payphone tone
Old heads nod with the paper folded
Told me keep your eyes when the dice get loaded
Train rattle past while the bassline creeps
Mom cooked greens in the pot all week
I wrote my name on a torn-up page
Dreamed too big for the size of the cage
Same block, same bench, same chip paint line
Different kids, same wrist, same thin climb
I seen pride get loud, then vanish fast
So I move with a plan and a little more class
Hold that thought
Hear that drum
One more step
Then I'm up
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Keep that rhythm, keep that grit
Crates on Linux, we livin' it, livin' it
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Hands in the air if you know that code
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
I seen a cousin go from sharp to shook (Oh)
One bad deal and the whole thing took (Oh)
Auntie said, "Boy, don't chase that glare
Real money waits when you build with care"
So I stacked my wins in a paper bag
No flex, no stunt, just a steady tag (Oh)
Worked that shift with the grease on my sleeve (Oh)
Then I hit the booth when the city went quiet
My man came through with a line so clean
Made the whole room lean like a movie scene (Oh)
We traded stories for the price of pain (Oh)
And wrote our names in the drum machine grain
Hold that thought
Hear that drum
One more step
Then I'm up
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Keep that rhythm, keep that grit
Crates on Linux, we livin' it, livin' it
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Hands in the air if you know that code
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
Let it unfold
Now the kids take seats where the elders sat
Same cracked sidewalk, different aftermath (Oh)
I left a trail from the basement up
Still hear that snap when the world gets tough
One breath, one truth, one chance to swing
No gold ring needed for the real kings
If they ask what made me, I tell 'em this
A worn-out groove and a stubborn wish (Oh)
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Keep that rhythm, keep that grit
Crates on Linux, we livin' it, livin' it
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I'm back again
Crates on Linux, on Linux, I don't pretend
Hands in the air if you know that code
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
Let it unfold
Crates on Linux, let it unfold
Let it unfold
