Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Came up where the turnpike hums
Corner store coffee
Ink on thumbs
Jersey on my back like shoulder pads
Still they act like we an afterthought on the map
Exit signs
We the in-between
Watch ’em bite styles they ain’t never seen
They quote coasts
Skip the Garden State
But we fed half they favorites off our plates

[Chorus]
We from Jersey
They ain’t say our name enough (nah)
But the culture got our fingerprints and dust
From the bricks to the bridge
Feel the crackle in the track
Crate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map
We from Jersey
Every pattern
Every snap
Got a story in the kick
You can’t cap
From the east side blocks to the yard out back
Crate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Elizabeth nights
Two trains past dark
Writing hooks under flickering park lights
Sharp
Hand-me-down decks in a basement room
Mom yell “turn it down
” that’s our first live boom
Diggin’ wax at the flea
Five dollar finds
Sample one horn
It’ll bend your mind
You hear that swing on a chart-topped track?
Trace that feel
Yeah
It come from Jers’ laps

[Chorus]
We from Jersey
They ain’t say our name enough (never)
But the culture got our fingerprints and dust
From the bricks to the bridge
Feel the crackle in the track
Crate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map
We from Jersey
Every pattern
Every snap
Got a story in the kick
You can’t cap
From the east side blocks to the yard out back
Crate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map (Crate Kings!)

[Bridge]
They overlooked us
But they play our sound
They talk big cities
We hold this ground
When the credits roll and they skip our town
We just turn it up and double down (uh)

[Chorus]
We from Jersey
They ain’t say our name enough
But the culture got our fingerprints and dust
From the bricks to the bridge
Feel the crackle in the track
Crate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map
We from Jersey
Every pattern
Every snap
Got a story in the kick
You can’t cap
From the east side blocks to the yard out back
Krate Kings in the lab
Puttin’ The Wick on the map (on the map)
