[Verse 1: Rio Loz]
First things first, man, you messin' with the worst
I be putting hymns in ya head, till you go to church
Find ya savior, 'cause ain't nobody safe here
Kids gettin' shot up at schools and even daycares
They passin' gun laws like blunts, tamo fumando
To ease the pain, no puedo olvidarlo
Forgave the unforgivable, I had to keep my heart pure
I've been going in, never needed validation from outsiders - I'm him
And my process, is much more than you could digest
This is beyond the flesh after death, where I tip the scales in my favor
'Cause my heart hеavy as a feather
We could fly forеver if the sky don't fall
N***as know my name rang from the slums to the stars
Picked by the lord to make it out the Devil's jaw
Spittin' hell when I'm on the mic until them trumpets call
It's ya favorite vagabond droppin' bombs on ya lawn
Shit's nasty, you're number two next to what I do do
Pinning (Penning) flows like Voodoo
So be a doll and sit still, who knew?
I'd go from showering with buckets
To sitting courtside watching Bron put up buckets
From Warren G to Warren Buffett, you gotta love it
I see a lot of kings with they crown in they back pocket, so stop it
Hold your head high like you got a bloody nose, cousin
It's the coast comin'
[Verse 2: Taj Austin]
I been battlin' a nocturnal mind
Awake yet not awoken, sleeping at times
I dream about the sunshine's embrace when I'm clouded
Thoughts shrouded, doubting in my faith that once moved mountains
Now won't seem to make a pebble shake
Let alone lift more stones, I've thrown many
My house is glass, half full half empty
I'm the fool inside, the have not tryna fill a hole
I don't suppose you'll go half with me
Being young and inefficient is how I would diagnose my condition
But I'm back with God's navigation on my expedition
Elated, narrating observations, I make in the distance
Had a conversation with some wise n***as, listen
You can't rest yourself to success, loved one
You gotta gain dominion over your flesh, loved one
It's a painful journey to be your best, loved one
But you do it for the ones you love
My suspicion if we each believe in ourselves
We can share the same religion, praise to God
And the man, the woman, and the children
Hopefully see it eye to eye
From the all seeing's vision
To that end, I'll complete the mission
One love from one Coast
[Verse 3: Ras Austin]
24/7 on due course more leverage
Through God's will, I'm more driven, my Core-vetted, huh
See a vibe, look through my eyes then you'll recognize
The real recognize the spiritual aesthetic once
Still a n***a, my vices triggered by a bitch or sum'n
Hit a lick, till pussy lip speak a different tongue
When desires succumb, my empire will come
Prior to them, discipline make priority one, yeah
Shit, touched down on earth in '96
2022, the times move quick
Reminisce on where the years went and how my time spent
Even tried audit the Reaper, n***a laughed at my expense, no offense
Said you wouldn't change shit, still equate to nonsense
Same shit, pissy toilet potty train ya mind, kid
Milkin' up, game, shit'll spoil if you let it sit
Word is bond, have a talk with God, make a covenant
Wakin' up, 5:45 AM, alarm hit
Hit the mattress, give praise, it's most high conscious
Affirmation, I'm the light, I'm the way, the navigation
I'm a daily demonstration that my higher self exists, like
Wassup Wazam, I don't cook up, hook up grams
Leave the crack rock, Flintstone, Bamm-Bamm
On mic stand, I shed light bright, no night lamp
Just bright ideas that Edison would stamp
Whole camp got strong bass, we blowin' out the amp
Strong faith like mustard seed, the mountains might flinch, uh uh
Momma never raised a coward nor a simp
Nowadays my road paved where fear has never been
Coast Contra!
[Verse 4: Eric Jamal]
I used to want to be a gangsta, until my homie got popped
I used to wanna be a drug dealer, until, I seen they always getting caught
I used to wanna be a pimp too, ooh, but then I felt love
When I heard I could be anybody, I start running from who I was
Like damn, I don't know who I am
Not too many role models in my fam
Uncle Sam came took my greens eggs and ham
On my knees praying to God like A-men
I don't wanna have to go put a gun in hand
And do the running man for robbing for finance
Go BLAM!! BLAM!!
Another young man dead
Don't understand how we allow this to happen
Another bull killed over beef, we like lamb
Slaughtered by police and people with my skin
In Philadelphia, everyone Jersey is Cunningham
At twelve, you understand twenty one is your life span, see
Bygones can't be bygones, they just go buy guns
I try to teach 'em how to Excel, they think too micro
They only see as far as their Windows, I think they eyes closed
They rather go buy Jordans, I wanted to be like Michael, you see
I used to wanna be a ball player, but, I really never had a shot
I used to want to work in law enforcement, but, I only knew of dirty cops
I didn't wanna be a rapper, shit, I just did it just because
As soon as I had put the pen down, hmm, that's when I found out who I was
I am the lyrical Messiah, the one that can breath fire
The rapper that will inspire, for rappers to go retire
Exposing you true liars, the GOATs, they shall admire
The squire that studied kings, then built his empire
The one who stomp giants, my purpose was always higher
To thrive and transpire, the one who will unite us
To stand up Richard Pryor, 'cause n***a this is rap
Real hip hop, yes, history will relapse
A brother not your brother if a brother ain't got your back
God really put us together, that's a fact
They gonna try to break us apart, but we too attached
Look how he glue Coast (Glucose) together
Get rid of these Celiacs (Silly Acts)
COAST
