Coastin'
Zion I and K.Flay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I'm coastin'
I'm coastin' on a dream
I'm coastin'
This one's for you and me
Not to set trip but my car jets west
As I drift over cliff
The sunset yes
It's me and myself
I needed a rest
The windows down breathin' deep in my chest
I used to feel hopeless
Now I feel so rare
Seats lean back
Can't see my chair
See my eyes reflect in the sky
I feel so divine givin' thanks I'm alive
'Cause we came a long way since our days in the A
Sleepless nights was tryna get right
Now I just glide
Wind in my sails
I toast to the ocean
She balance my scales
West coastin'
Got the breeze at my left
Believe in me black
When life do you wack
Stay focused
True indeed it's a fact
When those hard times come love will bring you right back
When life brings trouble
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I'm coastin'
I'm coastin' on a dream
I'm coastin'
This one's for you and me
Now some pop bottles, some chase models
As if it's all live, primetime, the Apollo
Mighty big pill too many can't swallow
The pain got 'em trippin' off things feelin' hollow
Weight in my brain
Spittin' my slang
'Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna go insane
I'm forward on my mission now I'm deep in the game
Got my speakers on blast while I'm switching the lanes
Stay low-pro kinfolk
Started out at Kinko's
Ten years later out to Vegas on a G4
The seats bucket when we puff puff pass
Passports in my luggage got my beats on smash
Attitude of a winner that's some VMA
So we feel like its summer anywhere that I lay
Ay, it's C.A. To the day that we out
Stay strong through the struggle that's what life is about
When life brings trouble
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I'm coastin'
I'm coastin' on a dream
I'm coastin'
This one's for you and me

Stay humble and close to your family and friends
Started out at Kinko's
I started small and worked my way up
Ten years later out to Vegas on a G4
After ten years of hard work, I can afford to travel on a private jet to Vegas
The seats bucket when we puff puff pass
The seats in the car are shaking when we smoke and pass the joint around
Passports in my luggage got my beats on smash
I am ready to travel with my music playing loudly
Attitude of a winner that's some VMA
I have a positive attitude and feel like a winner, like someone who has won a VMA award
So we feel like its summer anywhere that I lay
I feel so good that I feel like I am on summer vacation no matter where I am
Ay, it's C.A. To the day that we out
We are from California and proud of it
Stay strong through the struggle that's what life is about
Life can be hard, but we should stay strong and keep going

I remember listening to this song, before I spiraled into really deep depression... and now that I'm finally recovering this song fills me up with so many happy memories that I feel more than alive. I love this song.
