East Coast Devil Lyrics

[intro]:

if it wasn't for the east coast

all these brothers wouldn't carry no piece, joe

what the f*** have you been tucking in that cheap coat?

you ain't never buck at shit, you a weak joke



and I'm quick to let a "G" know ...

I give a f*** - cuz I'm bigger than the streets, yo

bigger than those broke-ass heaters he tote

keep close, I suppose in a little bit, I'll be bigger than Jesus' ghost



...radios, stereos

in suburbia, turn it up





[verse]:[1]

all the people from the area I'm reppin

treat me like a motherf***in legend when I step in

last time I checked I ain't even got a record yet,

chicks call the house just to listen to my breath



they feel me locally and commercially

they feel me over-seas, and universally

even if you don't speak a lick of English

when my speech hitta beat, you'll be critically thinking



"now he's the real deal" - see past skin and

I've been what was intented when rap was invented

from the very - second DJ's spun records

and artists spit bars, my effort was ** better than



-- wait a second -- envision my arms stretching...

I'm this far, better than these rich star veterans

...you got a fashion sense but your song is wack

whose ass did you kiss for that contract?





[hook]:[1]

turn on my TV, and I be thinkin

"where's the talent?"

I see a whole lotta sh*** --- and a couple of gems...

where's the balance?



they all got the look, but they never read a book

I'm astounded

I guess nobody ever told em knowledge

is motherf***ing power





[verse]:[2]

I'm awake in the day, awake when you're dreaming

hang like a bat, two feet grab the ceiling

three, hour nap, back to the beats, still reeling

from the speed, D.Z. the machine, the pill stealing



emcee, you can see, at the pharmacy

department.. amphetamines on my mind...

and when I see em, I'ma target 'em

and you know I ain't leaving till they all mine



I got a habit, some people call me an addict

but, I'm just another rapper with a f***ing attraction

to munching up capsules and medical tablets

whatever's in ya cabinet, get ready to pass it



every single track I ever did is a classic

cuz every single track I ever did, I was blasted

I've been high since...

...1999.





[hook]:[2]

turn on my TV, and I be thinkin

"where's the talent?"

I see a whole lotta sh*** --- and a couple of gems...

where's the balance?



they all got the look, but they never read a book

I'm astounded

I guess nobody ever told em knowledge

is motherf***ing power





[bridge]

I'm an East Coast Rebel, this flow I deliver

is solely for my Devils in the (703)

the NOVA criminals - you with me? lets go

I'm so close to taking this industry over





[verse]:[3]

if anyone in the room is still confused

this is the new [found] sound you'll be listening to

we just sent the Dirty South to their room, they're grounded,

we washed out Lil Jon's mouth for shoutin



we kicked Bubba Sparxxx out the pad for rhyming

we sent both Ying Yang Twins back to China

...and if we see any free survivors

we feed em right to Lil Kim's vagina





[outro]

everybody say it with me, f*** the game!

everybody say it with me, f*** the game!

f*** you what you're doin, f*** what you did

f*** everybody who calls me Eminem



f*** all the clubs fulla wanna-be thugs

if you wanna shut me up, come bust a slug

otherwise find a new f***ing trend to suck

the f***ing life from, one more Mike Jones and I'm done
