East Coast Overdose - East Coast Avengers

Yeah, fuck taking hip hop back

We moving shit forward

East Coast Avengers

Celph Titled the captain of decapitation

One two, one two

Trademarc mic check

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?

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 boom bap, East Coast Overdose

The revolution is near, are you listening?

East Coast boom bap, all day

East Coast boom bap, East Coast Overdose

East Coast

Boom Bap

My man Statik Selektah with that ziggah ziggah, good looks

DC with the, uh, you know what he brings to the table
