Aw, this crazy
Ayo, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
I said, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Ayo, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
C'mon, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Ayo, you heard other raps before
But kept waitin' for the sun of song, must be the dawn, you ready for fight or flight
I bring the light like the one joint Common on
Bombin' on sight, these wack acts get the ax like a tomahawk
You 'sleep, then keep the pajamas on
You'd rather be the people in the comments than the people th?y comment on
I take my meetings [?][0:34] confer?nce call, talkin' to my niggas like Papa John
It's more levels of walkin' across petals (Get 'em)
Raisin' your frequency like falsetto (Get 'em)
When they say they bringin' the peace, it's Palmetto (Get 'em)
Yup, more metal be keepin' the score settled
Son, these devils got a war fetish
I navigated through a war era, now I cause terror with the torch bearers
The Coast Contras, the modern-day prophets
Overcomin' the optic, the triple-stage darkness (Go)
Adventure is raisin' temperatures on thermometers (C'mon)
'Cause it spread like wildfire, they callin' the strain Andromeda
The atmospheric pressure is fresher, break the barometer
Got us so involved, they mistakin' me for a conjurer
Growin' a cult followin', flowin' from the abdominal
Glowin', I'm so phenomonal, impossible is nothin'
Topical like discussions, these academics debatin'
I'm packin' these situations like baggage on vacations
Guess who? (Who?) Who else? Me, nigga, damn
T-A-J A-U-S-T-I-N
Wake up, do the damn thing like Mack 10
IPhone, unlocked screen, yeah, I'm tapped in
White noise comin' from a block full of Black men
Mark A. with the parlay, what's happenin', brother?
Say, niggas sayin' they could rap type tough
Heard a couple lines, it was wack (Shit was hyped up)
Coulda left 'em in the dark, but they wouldn't lighten up
So you know I brought Da Vinci codes to decipher
Check the dial, spray the bullet, niggas ran, couple back-back
One ducked like he was insured by Aflac
Make a nigga swallow pride 'til his stomach hurt
Almost twenty-nine and I'm still on a growth spurt
Once he done, nigga burnin' red like a toaster
Now I'm really tryna save the culture
They afraid, say the end of days comin' closer
But I pray, so I'm unfazed with composure
Real hip-hop nigga, everything kosher
This shit not me, I do not know, sir
I kick in your door, everybody get low like SWAT
We was just flies on the wall like SWAT
Tryna bust a move on the block like SWAT
Even when the door unlocked
I said, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Ayo, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
C'mon, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Well, alright, tell them niggas pass the mic
I'm like, "Hey, don't you have somethin' for me? (Ayy, what you got, my niggas, what's up?)
Big piece of land with a little bit of money (I need that)
Extra couple mil' 'cause you know a nigga hungry
Why you always actin' like you gave a nigga somethin'? (What?)
Like I ain't put that labor in or somethin' (What?)
That we don't put that water out that save 'em in the summer (What?)
Coast Contra the navy, no way we goin' under (What?)
They don't know which way that I be comin'
Straight outta conscience, who else come with lyrical content
Free you from bondage with these bars like convicts?
My concepts [?][2:46] sometimes far fetched
For knowledge, I go hang out with all vets
I'm good regardless, you lookin' at the dark-skinned Clark Kent
Sky-walkin' over moons and Martians, the force is awesome
Keep them off us, keep your offers
Keep your poison, keep your carpet
Red light, please don't cross us
Uma Thurman, move with caution
Russian roulette, let's bet that we'll keep revolvin'
Octopus, when I spit, bitch, the ink look gorgeous
Fuckin' with niggas who pens could compete with swordfish, Coast
My voice was the first instrument to make a sound (Uh)
That's music to my ears, y'all gon' listen to me now (Yeah)
We the talk of the town, the gods' in here
Bow down, now go and tell 'em like Paul Revere
That they gon' try to bite my style with they new veneers
I'm too prepared, got loose screws, crews beware
Me and my brothers cold crush, I'm the R, the river
My flow razor-sharp like The RZA
A diamond in the rough, blame the pressure from the system
Hablando en español, I'm a Black man, listen
Turn me up pa' que me escuchen, sniff this
Every line's a brick from Pablo's kitchen
Warmin' up her oven, she told me, "Don't forget the mittens"
You know my style raw, stop trippin'
In this rap shit, I don't see no competition
Encontré el idioma, huh, it's no difference
Uno de los mejore', esto no son palabra', son más colore' (Ey)
Desde la calle de valle de choca pa' que lo goce' (Sí)
Con cuida'o, esto te da un sobredosis
It's Coast and Kweli at your door
Yeah, you know we 'bout to
Kick in your door, everybody get low like SWAT
We was just flies on the wall like SWAT
Tryna bust a move on the block like SWAT
Even when the door unlocked
I said, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Ayo, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
C'mon, who's in the house tonight? Coast, Kweli
Don't nobody wanna mess with the R-A-S
Say they make a AK spray, mayday, mayday, stay safe
Killin' niggas up in the hood, wasn't KKK
Hey, hey, Broadway, these rappers all perpetrate
Dope dealers choppin' that brick up, not for sensei's sake
And if not, you dry snitch a lot, play-by-play
That RICO trial got 'em locked, he gon' need JPay
The DA bumpin' your shit up on the PA (PSA)
Keep that in mind when you create, 'kay?
We all go astray, I can't judge, even I ricochet
Thank God, given me grace, helped me elevate
Where you tryna take me? (Higher)
I said, where you tryna take me? (Higher)
High hopes for the most high, try most
To live on a high note, my partner was diagnosed
He sick and tired, he uninspired, he die most
Between the hours of nine to five, he divulged
To me, is that 'posed to be a beacon for my folks?
They're speakin' to our souls
From here to the Congo, ain't nowhere we can't go
So free your mind, you peek through the blinds to shine more
See me and mines 'cause we outside, yellin', "S"
S for the dominant sound
W 'cause we still winnin' somehow
A, a is for the African child in America
T is where the truth get found
T is in you where the truth get found
T is in you where the truth get found
T is in you where the truth get found
T is in you where the truth get found

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
