[Verse 1: Eric Jamal]
So far, you n***as ain't come close
We took 6 months off, the people still saying "We want Coast!"
We out Dumbo, having meetings eating pie with compote, that metaphor was way too humble
But some n***as gotta get humbled 'cause some n***as really are Dumbo
What's the square root of 3.14 when we all four all got 1/4?
I swear, man, you n***as is done for (Go!)
They telling lies, we want the truth (Truth!)
Word to the wise, listen to who? (Who?)
COAST! They like a Tribe Leaders of New School
Understand one thing, look
As long as we W, I don't care
They can keep comparing, whoever from past to present, I tell you it's no one near
They cry out for the coast 'cause when we drop, it's a different tier
Of lyricism and the spirit in 'em is always there
If Jesus can walk on water, then watch how I walk on air
In a radio station like "play our shit n***a", truth or dare?
Truth?! The truth is half you n***as scared
By the other half that is feared, y'all socially engineered
To stop being pioneers & care about y'all careers
Keep doing your job, euthanizing the youth's ears
Young kings disappear, crown on peasants heads
And fake n***as getting chair and the real throne over there/dare (C'mon)
Fuck it, I poke the bear, it's polar sides over here
I'll turn the tables just to show these n***as what's really skills
(Like DJ, he mix it well)
I rip, rhyme really well, like Big L, LL
Our names gone rock bells, my soul, I'll never sell
Came from Heaven to give 'em hell
Make 'em wait on it, w-w-w-wait on it just to lift the veil
N***as act like Denzel then end up in jail
No OG, No OG's, O, ain't train 'em well
For the youth, I leave a trail, my effort, I will prevail
The Coast gon' drown rappers out, they gone need help
For my people my-my-m-people, I will rebel
Ya Coin Phrase "I'ma Do it", I wish you well
Now tell me how many more years I'll sit on the bench look at God like "Coach, put me in" (In!)
Can't let 'em win like this, since when sin wins? Never did, have Faith, Aten
That's when I grab my pen, my sword, I swore, what's right, I fight, I defend
I'm saving my brothers, my friends, my kin, my soul, our children, our women, Amen
Look, I had an epiphany. Riddle me this, who gon' get rid of me if lyrically I can transcend spiritually?
I am the epitome of versatility that come with delivery, rappers gonna start to have to pay penalties
Dropping trash, after trash, after trash; they're literally littering
Street sweep 'em, I clean 'em up with metaphors, similes
Google my name, my real name; I'm really thee Himothy
Been giving bars all my life single, Jangle Leg, Jangle Leg
Burning CDs off my Mac, I never claimed to be innocent
Finicky, gimmicky, never shake hands with hidden fees
Authenticity is one of my tendencies
This is Eric Jamal, signing off, this how I hope y'all remember me
So! When they telling lies, we tell the truth (Truth!)
They compromised, all for the loot (Loot!)
We for the people, and y'all for who (Who?)
Let's see who they choose, n***a, Coast!
[Verse 2: Ras Austin, Eric Jamal, All]
It be the R-A-S
Always, all day, on stage, off stage, nowadays, y'all ways, sideways, best
Yahweh, God say, our way, don't skip no step
Cut no corner, y'all blade short cut success
Bird n***as wanna, violate
How they, pop that fly shit, flock should migrate summer, y'all hate winners/winters
Live by no cold/code, y'all safe, not safe
How y'all operate? Y'all ain't with us, y'all can't feel us
Coast been living the high life, on the mic/Mike like a Jordan highlight, this side like "Yeah!"
Which side my good side? Can't decide, my dear
Feeling gorgeous
Drop dead, this Rigor Mortis
Rap hard, I'm a black star, came with a orbit, I'm sure of it, where?
Can you find a n***a like me? Not likely, y'all might seem enticing while biting like Tyson on ear/air
My style too hostile, each freestyle, projectile
Like bullet, pull it, leave, X-file, gotta stress how
Really it's been 5 by 10, this box y'all been thinkin' in
Inmates, you know, the brain cell confined so many men
Emulate whosever playn' can tell, the sound of many trend
Regurgitate, but fail to stimulate the Hip-Hop citizen
Time to pop our shit again, 'cause the OGs they told me
They OD when we speak, MP3, MVP, freestyle on repeat
Culture in relief, we beep beep, skrrt, made our own lane in these streets
But I too wanted riches, mackin' bitches, status, privilege
Black out Benzes, match my pigment, just to whip it, acting ignorant, with the top off
Breathe, give and receive
Stop, breathe, give and receive
Then I grew impatient, sick of waiting, felt frustration
From me chasing validation, am I great enough to make it or a knockoff?
Breathe, give and receive
Stop, breathe, give and receive
Tell me again, who's the man I seemed to think I am? Dr. King
Living off a dream, p.m. and a.m., same routine
Since I was a teen with Taj and Rio and them
On a bean, "Wait till we get seen" used to be the plan
Okay, I kick up, flip shit, huh, how E went in
N***as blew, spread like breaking news live on CNN
Next thing thing we knew, fanbase up and grew
Hardly seen an end, too comfortable, falling out the groove, disobedient, shit
So much there to learn before my turn can be well-earned
So I affirmed that I'd concern myself with God and hold on firm, fuck tryna pop off
Stop, breathe, give and receive (C'mon, c'mon)
Stop, breathe, give and receive (C'mon, c'mon)
Nowadays in mind, I stay align, I wake and meditate for space
Been taking time to make these rhymes in hope they elevate all our thoughts
Stop, breathe, give and receive (Huh, huh)
Stop, breathe, give and receive (Huh)
My n***a through the muthafucking grind, hustlin'
Pain, strugglin', passes fumblin', stagger, stumblin'
Ego crumblin', rather humblin', fears mumblin'
Spirit tumblin', fightin', rumblin', life is puzzlin'
Bills jugglin', riches bufferin', bitches troublin'
Lust, lovin' and fuckin', cuddlin', ditch 'em, shovelin'
Karma circlin', strategy, huddle in, vision tunnelin', all encompassin', I Coast!
Huh, yeah, that's right, nothin' to it, you could do it
Lil advice, before you dead and buried, it's talents that you carry
Your gifts is necessary, be yourself, be legendary, Coast!
[Verse 3: Rio Loz, Ras Austin, All]
El niño de oro necido enterrado en el bajo de la tierra
En Colombia, desde vuelve con balaceras
Y mi alarma era lo gallo en la mañana
El parrito me dició "Pio, pio"
"Oye Rio baja onda, ven de aqui, es un desafío"
"Pero no te pido, ya te vení un delicto"
"Primero, perdona a todo que han hecho daño", ahora
Sagase este veneno de coracón, niña
Te da el ritmo que te ayudo no te da pena
Me callo deseño, no te note en la escuela
Por dejar este negatividad
Hm, "sana, sana", culito errada
Si no sana hoy, sanará mañana
No mires pa'tras
Hay que cambiar, la narativa de nuestro pensar
La vida te da sorpresas cada dia que te manecas
Sigo derecha, meme, me-me mezcla
Cada año es una bendicion que se respira y piensa
Te da quenta, porque el flow se reventa
Te infecta, es contagioso como cada virus
Ayo, switch it up, n***a
This ride ain't over, I just had to over ride
Get over myself, overanalyze to arrive
Over the highs and lows, over my fear of heights
And never leaving rock bottom till I'm gone
Over running in place, the vibe, the hoes, fuck out my face, I'm over y'all
Strapped in like overalls, over all
The game, they overdose, close calls
Feans smacking the backboard till they back bored then doze off
I knew this shit would happen, didn't know how
Focused on the why, not the how
Meanwhile, you won't find no gimmick in my team
Not a blemish mean, get to know the style
Came from the slums, chopper singing out the village, like Bilal (Bow)
Ain't no "owww", that n***a out
Know we took a while
Fans been waiting on the bars like trial, if you listening, smile
'Cause we don't stop like an after party
The Coast heaven-sent, all my n***as godly
The hottest n***as got New York, screaming "Wassup B!"
Hot like wasabi, check my ID, I be
Rioloz desde Cali
They dread the rasta man, like Hailie Selassie
Oye mami ven aquí, Coast is where ya need to be
Tú no sabes de mí, you gon' have to come and see!
[Verse 4: Taj Austin, All]
First off, I'm back, the flow still intact, so much to unpack
Might feel impact
Brace for embrace, the war is over
But peace can't be captured by soldiers
That's how you end up with time to kill
We need time to heal and more time to build, stay with me, uh
Blue skies don't disguise the aesthetic
Of the cosmos 'cause it doesn't need cosmetics
Same universal make up live deep in your genetics
The beginning was the word and we just play with the phonetics
With the words, I'm a wizard, the magic thinking, plus-sized
Yeah, I'd rather be You-tilized over I-dolized
The celebrity scrutinized, over-analyzed
Inside shed light/leight yet weigh on the mind
If sight give you sore eyes, you going blind jack
You can turn a blind eye, but you can't turn back
Yeah, the apple Adam bit, bitten apple on the Mac
Gotta realize what's real or the false turn, fact
You real? What it do? Tell the truth
Opposition not the only opposition to you
Knowing what the reverend know versus what's the revenue
Can you pay your way to freedom, I don't think so, fool
Just breathe and stop
Regroup, huh, new plot
I been hearing different blah, zay, blaah
They wanna see the hiccup, they wanna see divide
Wanna see the click split up, but nah
It's ridiculous to get rid of us, why try
If a n***a had me at gun point, I'd still, stick up, stick up for the gang
'Cause I never felt triggered, that would be blasphemy/blast for me
Don't harass me, no weapon formed can do me the harm of a casualty
Say it casually, huh, it's the gospel
I don't do small talk, we talk colossal
Confronted my demons and I dealt with the debacles
I'm heir/air to the throne, you can smell it in your nostrils
Breathe....and stop
Regroup, what we do? New plot
Shit is demanding, in the fields surviving these bills like Damar Hamlin
I got heart, the fuck you thought, this shit was random?
I don't break, nah, I breakthrough
Pray then say thank you for my strength
Yeah, I will do what I will to
Can do what I can't, that's universal law
I am man and the manifestation of God
That makes this man infestation to a nation of fraud
They don't wanna see a n***a win/wind
They don't wanna see a n***a with this type of information
And giving every lung ventilation, stop!
