Coast Contra – Contradictions (Official Video) Lyrics
Verse 1: Taj
Have you ever been a rich nigga? – Nah not me
I got just enough to tell myself – God got me
Chose to take a leap of faith instead of living on the edge
Find comfort knowing God gon come through in the end
It keep me humbled
Keep me grounded even when I stumble
Keep me human knowing when I need help whenever I’m in trouble
But I’ll confess, want shit to change
Want the ’88 Benz wood grain, switchin lanes
Pick up every tab flying first class on planes
Give my family shit thеy never had
Buy my wife hеr first Chanel bag
She think I’m next to be a rich nigga, I believe her
Biggest fear is I get rich and feel like God no longer need ya
I’m scared I won’t recognize my blessings
Stop living life within abundance, tighten my grip on all of my possessions
Should it come with that
The bottom of the fall is that with everything I got, I don’t give back
To none of y’all
Due to my ambitions, I face contradictions
Maybe I’m just trippin
Lately I been feelin I want everything to change
…But want everything to stay the same, uh
Started with a vision but it met conditions
God give me the wisdom to make good decisions
Cuz I’m welcoming the change
Just hope the best of me can still remain
Verse 2: Ras
– Truth
I been fucking bitches, dreamin of goddesses
I – I fear commitment, I think my problem is
I don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna fail
Make it hard to choose, make it hard to tell
Who really mines? Is there someone better?
Always someone better, I could search forever
I may find you never
I fear that
Pray God hear that, tryna steer clear of that
Make it write then write again, spit then write again
Music love me, I love music – Where would you fit in?
Would you tell me, “Leave”, when it’s time to go?
Or would you tell me, “Stay”, knowing what my purpose holds?
That’s a perfect hold, that’s the perfect trap
Feeling so in love but yet your love could hold me back
Hold you in my arms, as resentment forms
And that shit the norm
But I can’t cope with that
So I been fucking bitches, dreamin of goddesses
I – I fear commitment, we know my problem is
I don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna fail
Make it hard to choose, make it hard to tell
My parent’s love, that’s hard to find
It didn’t work, now my Father Time
My Mother’s Nature, that shit in my nature
If it never work, I stick to work and I’ll be fine
Love been on my brain, something to attain
I want everything to change and yet stay the same
Verse 3: Eric
As I look into the Night Sky, staring at God freckles
I wonder who I am – if I’m really him in a vessel
Asked him if I’ll make it
He answered back with a bar
There’s enough space for everybody be a star
Under Murphy’s Law – if it can, it’ll go wrong
I wonder if that’s true – if it is, I should be gone
Coming from where I’m from, we don’t really make it this far
So before I’m called, let me get this off
I just gotta say
Thank You
For the times I thought I was worthless
Would question if life was worth it
I know that nobody’s perfect, but damn is this even working?
You came and gave me a purpose and taught me to have discernment
Let wisdom stand by my side, temperance always guide
Myself to my inner child, the place where I feel divine
You put me inside a Tribe on a Quest to save many lives
Blessed me up with a Bride, so allow me to take this time
To simply say
Thank You
I can’t believe you my partner, you really do solve my problems
We laugh like we Gina-Martin
I have to give you your flowers and always tend to your garden
You really should thank my Father
I wanna say
Thank You
While you alive and can hear this song
I’m sorry that Mommy gone, I’m sorry I’m far from home
I’m hurt that you all alone, promise it won’t be long
I know you – I know you strong
Since the day I was born been teaching me right from wrong
Now I’m 3000 miles away and I’m on my own
Some people just complain, me I just catch a plane
Dang
I want everything to change but yet stay the same
Verse 4: Rio
So I pray I never see the day I’ll say I used to know her
You held me down when I was low before the Coast blowed up
Before they put my name in lights before we went up on the price
I knew you always treasured my love, even when my pockets was tight
I never cared about the finer things, just wanted you
That night you had that accident, I almost died too
I don’t want the world if I’m gon lose what I got
I wasn’t born with a lot, I hope my family don’t change
I hope y’all treat me the same
I hope my real ones still love me, if I fall off today
I hope y’all stil see the kid, from the village say “Hey!”
While paparazzi blocking every route, they all know my face
Don’t want attention just billions of dollars to renovate
The slums in every 3rd world country that don’t really get named
I know the pain, I’m not ashamed
It made me who I am today
There’s not a thing that I would change if I could have this shit my way
The only things I would’ve changed is being broke
Losing hope
Feeling anxious of failing myself when I can’t write a quote
Stressing for hours, tryna start with the right vowel and flow
The fact my people been broke
For as long I can recall
The fact I can’t see my brother
Or hug my grandma anymore, I know heaven ain’t far
I closed my eyes and see it close
Wish I could take all of the pain away my mama endured
She was so pure
Born into a world that poisoned her heart, I was the cure
For young Milena
Who wanted more out of life than what a daily novela
Shows on TV, but comparing lives don’t make it better
I know you need me but our situation gon’ get better
I realize my life won’t change if I don’t do the same
Shit
I want everything to change but yet stay the same
