Coastal Drive

Sopra il vuoto d’un torii, dove il cielo si spezza, le ombre degli antenati danzano, ogni passo è carezza. L’infinito s’allunga tra i rami del pino, la neve cade lenta, ma il tempo è clandestino. Io sono come Musashi, nel doppio della via, l’acciaio canta il silenzio, l’eco d’un’antica poesia. Dalla valle di Sekigahara, sangue e terra si uniscono, ogni morte è un cerchio, e i kami ci ascoltano. Il sakura fiorisce, ma la bellezza è crudele, ogni petalo che cade è una promessa ribelle. Tu vedi un ciliegio? Io vedo un monito al mondo, un fragile impero che frana, sotto un cielo rotondo. L’armatura risuona, ma il cuore è nudo, Bushidō mi ricorda che tutto è un aiuto. Il nemico più grande è lo specchio d’acqua, riflette il mio volto, poi si rompe e mi schiaccia. Danzano le volpi, ingannano le emozioni, sotto la maschera kitsune si nascondono visioni. La lama è la parola, affilata dall’attesa, ogni barra è un tempio, ogni silenzio una difesa. Io sono Genji e Heike, l’armonia distrutta, il flauto di bambù che suona per la luna caduta. Il ruscello si piega, ma non perde la sua via, l’acqua scrive la storia, il ferro la cancella con follia. Shibumi nel respiro, l’arte d’esser nessuno, nell’assenza c’è tutto, e nel tutto c’è nessuno. Chi cerca la verità si perde nella nebbia, chi accetta l’illusione cammina sulla sabbia. E quando il sole sorge, il mio nome è già cenere, ho lasciato solo impronte che il vento disperde. Non c’è vittoria né sconfitta, solo il vuoto che resta, il Giappone è il mio sangue, e la morte è una festa.

[Instrumental]

[Verse] Dark alleyways where the shadows creep, Underground hustle, ain't no time for sleep. Silver tongues split, words sharp like shiv, Cash rules everything, gotta learn to live. [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker, story’s quietly told, From broken dreams and the chains we hold. Beneath the surface where the secrets lie, Every hustle's got a reason, don't ask why. [Chorus] Riding through the night, we chasing dreams, City life's tough, ain't what it seems. Ghosts of past whisper in the wind, Tryna break free, start again, begin. [Bridge] Heartbeats sync with the city's flow, Mapping my fate, where the neon glow. Cloaked in silence, but the mind is loud, Survival of the fittest, stand out in the crowd. [Verse 3] Schemes and plots in the midnight hour, Eyes on the throne, grab that power. Veins pump ambition, fear won't reside, With every step taken, destiny our guide. [Verse 4] Life’s a game, better know your role, Weather the storm, aim for the soul. Tales of struggle etched on the walls, In these city’s veins, even giants fall.

[Verse] Mirror don't lie, truth in the reflection, Colors vibrant, breaking the complexion, Pride in my stride, keep the haters guessin', Heart wide open, no need for confessin'. [Chorus] Walk in my shoes, can you feel the groove? Love who I love, nothing left to prove, Rainbow in my soul, shining through and through, Authentic vibe, yeah, you know it's true. [Verse 2] Closed minds tight, but I break the taboo, Queer and fierce, rewriting the milieu, No apologies, just livin' the truth, Free as the wind, soaring high in the blue. [Chorus] Walk in my shoes, can you feel the groove? Love who I love, nothing left to prove, Rainbow in my soul, shining through and through, Authentic vibe, yeah, you know it's true. [Bridge] Preach every day, true to the cause, Rewrite the script, shaking all the laws, Battles fought and won, we never pause, Embrace who you are, free from the claws. [Chorus] Walk in my shoes, can you feel the groove? Love who I love, nothing left to prove, Rainbow in my soul, shining through and through, Authentic vibe, yeah, you know it's true.

[Verse] Wake up to the sun and the sky so clear No script no lines just living right here Every heartbeat a drum so loud it cheers Gonna dance with the moments no room for fear [Verse 2] Got no map but I'm still on track With a smile like a train never looking back Shadows fall but I paint them black Gonna turn this life into a laugh attack [Chorus] Life unscripted no rules no roles Just a playlist of highs and goals Gonna sing with the breeze and strolls Writing my story in heart and souls [Verse 3] Got a suitcase packed with dreams In a world that's bursting at the seams No rehearsals just wild schems Living brighter than neon beams [Bridge] The night comes but I got my spark A lighthouse glow in the deepest dark With every step I leave a mark Gonna chase this magic like Noah's Ark [Chorus] Life unscripted no rules no roles Just a playlist of highs and goals Gonna sing with the breeze and strolls Writing my story in heart and souls

eah, I walked through the shadows where the light dim, Hustlin’ dreams, broke the seams, fightin’ in the limelight, Copper-colored skin, caught between sin, In a world where the wolves and the sheep collide, but we still grin. Pockets heavy, heart light, weighed down by the plight, I’m a kingpin in this jungle, but my crown’s never outta sight. Chasin' paper like a ghost, hauntin' all the dreams I’ve lost, Swappin’ lessons for the lessons, never countin’ up the cost. 'Cause the price of livin’ righteous in this life is his, They call me Pimp, but there’s gold in the struggle, just wait and see. (Chorus) I’m the Pimp of my fate, red velvet on my plate, Turning pain to the game, watch me elevate. Got my feet on the ground, but my mind in the stars, In these streets we ignite, let ‘em know who we are. (Verse 2) Pimp cup filled with ambition, sippin’ slow, Learned to navigate the system, but they’ll never know. From the corner of the block, where the dreams can't stop, I plant seeds in the cracks, let ‘em grow to the top. Mama said I’m special, but this game’s so cold, Told me, “Son, be a shepherd, don’t you ever fold.” I got real ones in my circle, they be pushin' the line, Keepin' faith when the world turns, we redefine. Survivin' off the rhythm, like it’s crack to the soul, I’m a Pimp with a mission, and my story unfolds. (Chorus) I’m the Pimp of my fate, red velvet on my plate, Turning pain to the game, watch me elevate. Got my feet on the ground, but my mind in the stars, In these streets we ignite, let ‘em know who we are. (Bridge) Sticky notes with hope, scribbled thoughts on the wall, Ain’t no fallin’ from grace, if I rise from it all. So I dance with my demons, let ‘em know they can’t hold, Got a heart made of fire, and a spirit so bold. (Outro) Yeah, I’m the truth in the night, the fight in the light, Pimp’s redemption on the rise, hear the world take flight. So let the bass thump loud, let the message be clear, In the shadows of the game, I’m the one you’ll revere.

9/11, Afghan war, Michael Jackson’s final score, First black president on the rise, First orange one took us by surprise. COVID-19, lockdowns tight, George Floyd, the world ignites, Russia, Ukraine, blood and pain, Queen Elizabeth, reign’s in vain. 8 billion people now, Israel, Palestine, who’s to blame? We didn't start the fire, It was always burning, since the world's been turning, We didn't start the fire, No we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it.

[Instrumental]

Creepin’ out the shadows, demons in the midnight glow, Triple six the mantra, where the wicked tend to go. Graveyard sessions, candles flicker, let it show, Runnin’ with the reaper, in the cold we keep it slow. Hooded in the mist, whispers turn to devil's hiss, Chains around my neck, glisten like a serpent’s kiss. Summon up the spirits while the bassline hit and twist, Echoes in the dark, can’t nobody move like this.

[Verse] Lights go flashin’ on the floor Energy buzzin’ more and more People movin’ Feel the groove No one’s sittin' Time to prove [Verse 2] Rhythm hits you Deep inside Feet can't stop They got no pride Bassline thumpin' Hearts will race Time to let go No time to waste [Chorus] I got clubbed Can't feel my feet Lost in beats The night’s complete Dancin’ wild The vibe’s alive In this place We all survive [Verse 3] Hands are reachin’ for the stars Movin’ bodies like fast cars Lost in music Can't escape This is heaven No debate [Bridge] Sweat is pourin’ Drinks in hand We’re the crazy We’re the band No tomorrow Just tonight Livin’ large No end in sight [Chorus] I got clubbed Can't feel my feet Lost in beats The night’s complete Dancin’ wild The vibe’s alive In this place We all survive

[Verse] Wind in my face, roof dropped, sun kissed, Cash stacks, leather seats, life is bliss, Ocean waves rollin', horizon mix, Whip clean, chrome gleams, flick my wrist. [Chorus] Coastal drive, duffle filled with dreams, Big bills, high thrills, life supreme, Tyres on fire, speed in my genes, Cash in the stash, world's my scene. [Verse] Lights flash, night fast, city past, Waves crash, we laugh, moments vast, Sky so wide, stars guide, lanes dashed, Bank account fat, credit unlashed. [Verse] Miles stretch, sea fetch, blue spread, Cash flow heavy, pockets no dread, Sun dips, moon lifts, cruising ahead, Paper chase endless, drive 'til I'm dead. [Chorus] Coastal drive, duffle filled with dreams, Big bills, high thrills, life supreme, Tyres on fire, speed in my genes, Cash in the stash, world's my scene. [Verse] Mirage glints, gold hints, palm trees, Vista so sweet, feel that sea breeze, Life on edge, no hedge, straight keys, Money ain't a worry when you're feeling free.
