|
| Esoteric mic check
|
| DC beat check
|
| Demigodz, AOTP
|
| We slice necks, let’s go
|
| We’re young, bored, not dumb, self-absorbed
|
| Numb, heroes unsung
|
| Now I’ve been holding my tongue (why?)
|
| Cause our slang sound dumb when you’re over 31
|
| You’re overdone, overhyped, overpaid
|
| Overnight stars can’t write two bars without an oversight
|
| Fronting like an overbite, it’s only right (what?)
|
| There’s been a lot of lonely nights
|
| Where I struggle and fight well I cope
|
| Is like juggling knifes on tightropes at a frightening height
|
| Wrists sliced open both, writing suicide notes
|
| With knots in your throat like boxes of votes (what's wrong?)
|
| I’ve seen enough doctors in cloaks
|
| It’s unimpressive, I’m clinical
|
| Manic depressive, cynical
|
| Mood swings move like rings
|
| Cyclical, panic obsessive, I can be aggressive
|
| It’s typical to find me ripping you, it’s overly excessive
|
| Everything I spit at you, admit it you openly try to ridicule
|
| But you could never swallow everything you bit into
|
| Straight out, more or less you gone fade out
|
| Laid out before like you like your shadow when the shade out
|
| Don’t make me pull the one plus eight out
|
| Are you listening?
|
| If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the east
|
| East Coast boom bap, pm to the am
|
| The revolution is near, are you listening?
|
| It ain’t hard to tell I’m the East Coast Overdose
|
| If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the east
|
| East Coast, Avengers, pm to the am
|
| Some say the revolution is near, are you listening?
|
| East Coast boom bap, all day
|
| I let a wild bull loose on the White House lawn
|
| Twenty minutes later I have the President on the horn (word is bond)
|
| And that’s real talk
|
| With phony silence, one look in my rhyme book, homie, and it’s only violence
|
| At the telly in a bathrobe with loaded chrome
|
| Vacation in Boca Raton, left you with broken bones
|
| If you provoke then it’s on, that means we get it popping
|
| Cop a thousand bricks from a thousand cops at a government auction
|
| We rap regurgitators, repeat my verse, my fans say shit cause my words
|
| contagious
|
| In hindsight, I guess I rhyme like no other MC can rhyme like
|
| Think you better then I’m like: «Yeah right.»
|
| Cause ain’t nobody that sounds like this
|
| I’m a motherfucking rap perfectionist
|
| So all the other MCs that came before me
|
| Gotta realise that I’m the future, you will adorn me
|
| And did I mention that, I’m pitching crack?
|
| Underhand with rubber bands and my East Coast Avengers mask
|
| Begin my wrath in a Samurai sword stance
|
| Thought you went to Heaven but got denied by the doorman
|
| Are you listening?
|
| If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the east
|
| East Coast boom bap, pm to the am
|
| The revolution is near, are you listening?
|
| It ain’t hard to tell I’m the East Coast Overdose
|
| If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the east
|
| East Coast, Avengers, pm to the am
|
| Some say the revolution is near, are you listening?
|
| East Coast boom bap, all day
|
| After PE but before Flavor of Love
|
| After Jay-Z but before he got played in clubs
|
| There was an MC spitting that wasn’t afraid of blood
|
| That wasn’t afraid of struggle, that wasn’t afraid to muscle
|
| His way in the game with hustle like Russel and have a cheque
|
| We power forward, you were gone, just a passing threat
|
| Plus that hood you grew up in, that’s the top of a bassinet
|
| You’re more mental than ghetto son of Geppetto
|
| I’m a rebel yelling devil, I’ma level your empire
|
| Y’all fail again, we got the Midi Alien
|
| East Coast Avengers dawg, I ain’t in blood
|
| Lie in the mud, run for cover
|
| Thought they fly in the SCUD’s
|
| You can’t handle bare facts with the mind of a cup
|
| These thugs wanna go out with a bang but die with a sigh and a thud
|
| Tell me what’s cool with that, tell me what’s hood with that
|
| Tell me you’re pushing a pen dawg and I’ll push your crack
|
| If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the east
|
| East Coast boom bap, boom bap
|
| The revolution is near, are you listening?

|
| East Coast boom bap, all day

| East Coast boom bap, East Coast Overdose
|
| East Coast
