Coast Contra
Rare Freestyle
[Verse 1: Ras Austin]
Check
Uh, I'm in rare form
In a rare state, such a rare case, on a rare song
In a shared space with my shareholders 'cause we share a bond
Spiritual healthcare, that's real selfcare, you wanna care for 'em
Then live in the faith, then walk in your grace, and give it back
You know the story, the glory is God's, and that's why I never do get attached
'Cause egos be formin' and keepin' it dormant
Not good enough, gotta get rid of that
Resentment was formin', forgiveness, I wanted to give it
In fact, if I didn't, it'd kill me, that's word to my pop
Man, I love you, we came a long way, and I'm finally admittin' that
Son of a son of a woman who brought me to God
Son of a woman that love me so much, that for me, she be ready to die
Married a woman that love me enough, to be patient when I did not know how to trust
Heart was vacant, I barely could open it up, but said "Fuck it, I'm ready to try"
Yeah, I did that
Name on a lease, so fuck it, I'm doing the most, fo'sho, I did that
Fuckin' these hoes, not knowin' the plight of they souls, then boastin', did that
You know the Coast is Contra, pray up and prosper, n***a, we did that
Levels to this shit, man
Ain't gotta get to the highest of levels, it's devils in this shit, man
Hearts like kettle in this shit, man
Several, some of them might be gang
Them ya real boys, who knows/nose, you might be Gepetto in this bitch, man
Get ya money, then get out the game, don't settle in this bitch, man
I'm in rare form
N***as that know me at best is sayin' that's rare for 'em
Breaking new ground, I'm terraforming
Sharing my essence and usin' my prescience, the future is now, I'm clairvoyant
Found a direction for sharing the message, I feel like the sound too flamboyant
Uh, I'm in rare form
In a rare state, such a rare case, on a rare song
In a shared space with my shareholders 'cause we share a bond
The love is like that
One
[Verse 2: Taj Austin]
I left my shadow in the dark
My future too bright to block a n***a light, shit shady enough
Movin' accordin' to God's plan, I had my plan, but, hah, nah
Wisdom, listen for wisdom, I look for that sound
Melodies, I can match now
Freedom singin' in the background, doing backgrounds
Yes, we livin' in harmony, blessed the mic now
I start with the shit that I write now
We speakin' this shit into life now, speakin' life now
Deaf men hear the rhymes we lay in the booth
Shit speak volumes even on mute
Sittin' in silence noddin' they head proof, y'all pipe down
Talkin' a whole lotta nothin' but don't you know nothin', these people is tired of that
That shit that lack that substance, that's why we buzzin', we really inspirin' cats
And we get it back
They show us love, we give it back
I recommend that you get a bag
Not all of us rich but who says you n***as was broke?
Black is a African resource, I think this shit is a joke
The chains and diamonds, n***a, we used to it
Them minerals ain't nothing new to us
Don't you know trees recoup for us?
To breathe, our family trees, they literally root for us
The leaves that turned a new for us
The fruits of the labor produce for us, that produce for us
I produce for us and I rap for us and I write for us
Judge tryna ghostwrite for us, give a n***as bars just to call it a rap
Goodnight for us, so I fight for us
You got the strength to fight yours
Promise the power within you is rare
[Verse 3: Eric Jamal]
Picture me livin' picture perfect
A young Picasso, this frame of mind for higher earning
No 9 to 5, I just decided, I'm not for purchase
I got the job to work for God, he hire purpose
So what's the plug when you know the circuit
And practice worship for higher learning and catch discernment
When blue faces bring greener grass, but it come with serpents
Where n***as really try angles just to get in your circle, shit
Use they smile as a curtain
I got to bear with these lion n***as that's in this circus
A buncha clowns that claim the crown but don't deserve it
They fail to realize the best king is a better servant
My preacher told me, said, "Eric, your verse is like a sermon
When I preach, they sleep"
I said "Preach, it's all in how you word it"
I give bars to my people 'cause they in need of service
So call this what you want, I call this here my purpose
I want you rappers to wrap this around your head like turbans
Your words can be reimbursement, give back, change a person
Y'all took a slice of the devil's pie, but I desert it
I won't detach from doing what's right/write, I'm good at cursive
I'll leave my print as evidence on every verses versus
Any artist that's talkin' garbage and try to curse us
Y'all follow a wave and do whatever's current
I follow his ways/waze, I know my turn is comin'
