Distance
Beast Coast feat. Joey Bada$$ Issa Gold & Erick the Architect Lyrics

Oh (yeah), oh (yeah)
Enthusiastically acknowledging the beginning of the song

And you know my mind
Claiming to have a clear and focused mind

Nigga life end if he starting with me
Warning others that crossing the singer could lead to deadly consequences

My niggas still going hard in these streets
Asserting that the artist's friends are still committed to the street life

Triple six nigga, the mark of the beast
Making a reference to the number often associated with Satanism and evil

I unlock potential, I'm feeling the leash (sheesh)
Expressing excitement at the potential for growth and success

I put that bitch on a leash (leash)
Metaphorically controlling and limiting a romantic or sexual partner

Hit them all 'til they deceased ('ceased)
Imagining violent retaliation against enemies

Lord have mercy on all my enemies
Acknowledging a higher power's role in the artist's revenge against enemies

Know I make it all by any means
Stressing a willingness to do whatever it takes to reach success

Know I won't fuck like, you ain't coppin' no cleats
Refusing to engage in romantic or sexual interactions with those who don't contribute to the singer's success

Pull my dick out, now she drop on her knees
Boasting about sexual prowess

Power P, he goin' dumb on the beat
Acknowledging a fellow rapper's strong performance on the music track

I do not know who they want me to be
Expressing confusion and frustration about others' expectations of the singer's identity and behavior

All of my chains and I'm feelin' so free
Enjoying the material wealth represented by the singer's jewelry

I tried to tell 'em, I been a OG (yeah, yeah)
Reminding others of the artist's status as a seasoned and respected member of the hip-hop community

Tell me what they really know about me
Challenging others to demonstrate true knowledge of the artist's past and present

I don't think they really know anything
Asserting that others' knowledge of the singer is limited or inaccurate

Now you done fucked up, you woke up the beast
Threatening retaliation against those who have provoked the singer

Everywhere I go, we 47 deep
Travelling with a large and loyal entourage

We gon' run down and they forced to retreat (yeah)
Describing a scenario in which the artist's group forces enemies to flee from confrontation

Every last one of my niggas gon' eat
Promising success and wealth for all members of the artist's group

She tryna fuck, make her lock her knees
Using sexual encounters to establish control over others

Can't hear you talk, I speak Guap-anese
Prioritizing wealth over communication and language

Wrappin' the work, I'ma cop a ki'
Planning to purchase a large quantity of illegal drugs

Smoke out the V, tryna dodge police
Using a vehicle to evade law enforcement while smoking marijuana

Nigga been stuck in his ways
Referring to someone who is unwilling or unable to change their habits or behavior

Bill Belichick, how I'm callin' out plays
Comparing the artist's leadership skills to those of a successful football coach

Causin' a wreck, hope I don't catch a case
Acknowledging the potential for legal trouble resulting from reckless behavior

Watch how you step or my niggas will spray
Warning others to avoid crossing the singer's group

G-Mackin', keep the heater packin' (uh-huh)
Bravado-laden references to carrying weapons

See static, keep the reach slummin' (uh-huh)
Maintaining vigilance and readiness for conflict

Squeeze 'matic, see your team nappin' (uh-huh)
Threatening violent action against enemies

Wreak havoc, none my niggas cappin', that's a fact
Promising that the artist's group will cause chaos and won't hesitate to act

Nigga been lit, I've been knockin' out hoes
Boasting of romantic and sexual success

Rollin' a zip, I'ma blow me a zone
Preparing to smoke marijuana

Twistin' ya lips, now you got to go
Rejecting and dismissing others who the singer finds unappealing or uninteresting

Don't fuck with nigga, just leave me alone
Asking others not to confront the singer unnecessarily

I'ma need more than a twenty at least
Expecting significant payment for services or goods

Grew from the slum, now we reppin' the Beast (woo)
Expressing pride at overcoming adversity and representing the artist's community

She got the cake, so I'm takin' a piece
Describing the artist's interest in and pursuit of wealthy romantic partners

Make no mistake, I get play when I preach
Asserting that the singer's influence and success are due in part to their confident and persuasive speech

Walk like a G, I put teams in the gang
Describing the singer's leadership and organizing skills within a group

Blessin' the karma that build up my name
Acknowledging good fortune and positive outcomes in the artist's life

Dead on arrival, endurin' the painless
Using wordplay to reference both death and lack of pain in the artist's life

All white huaraches in Europe, they trainers
Boasting about owning expensive and fashionable footwear

Too many rappers and not enough painters
Observing a lack of originality or artistry in the hip-hop industry

Frida or Dali, my palette like Monet
Comparing the artist's range and versatility as a rapper to famous painters

No one can stop me, I'm too stubborn too
Asserting that the singer is determined to overcome obstacles and continue succeeding

Only get down when I'm stuck in the groove
Referring to enjoying life and finding creativity when inspired or motivated

Wipe myself down and I'm bustin' a move
Describing dancing and enjoying oneself

Goldie, it's evident, ice out the tooth
Adding a flair of creativity and uniqueness to one's appearance, specifically with a gold or diamond tooth

In the meantime, I got nothin' to prove
Feeling confident and secure in one's accomplishments and status in life

Ride in the hoopty with nothin' to lose (errt, errt)
Driving around in a car that is not valuable, and embracing risk-taking or danger
