coast contra - shanghai tower lyrics

[intro]

[chorus]
how many stories could it tell?
could it tell?
could it tell?
how many stories could it tell?
could it tell?
could it tell?

[verse 1 + ras austin]
from cheap hotels, ‘cus freedom ain’t free
oh well, them streets was cold
this one man in a cell look to pimps, preachers and pushers
whatever image sells
even if the chain was fake, the love was real
fell in love with the club, the thrills, the plug, drug deals
grippin’ on the snuff(?) so tight it had a hug feel
everyone that gave him advice knew how a slug feel
permanent stain when blood is spillеd
you know that same old hustler stuck in a jam
fly n+gga, cuff in his pants with them cuffs on his hands
thinkin’ with all of his timе he spent, hope he can buy freedom
mama rock+a+byein his babies, his daughters wanna see him
and it k!ll him
bad moves and bad intentions + slow down
this lady that want him, she had a bad feelin’ + low down
stuck in his ways and wouldn’t listen ’til it go down
went up in a blaze, they raided his house it’s like
[chorus + eric jamal]
how many stories could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell?

[verse 2 + taj austin]
love is a drug that takes advantage of some
the love of drugs manages to make you manic and numb
she knows exactly what could happen once the damage is done
she grew up watchin’ junkies like sanford and son
mom struck out, pops hung out where the crack was at
the bottom of the rock gets him high but shortly after that
comes rock bottom
she was stuck between him and a hard place
too much disappointment naturally came with some heartbreak
(how many stories)
of the young and beautifully damaged we see panickin’ from
choosing bad situations, antic+p+tin’ love
but when she gives it she never seems to get that reciprocation
she went from hopin’ to sealin’ off her emotions
‘cus her teardrops could most likely fill an entire ocean
she felt drowned out, it was too late before they found out
she left the writing on the wall, those who saw said

[chorus + eric jamal]
how many stories could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell?
[verse 3 + rio loz]
top floor sh+t
i met a girl named ████, she was explicit for real
never did nuttin’ with her, we used to plot on the mill
smoke a little, talk about how far we came
real recognize real, sh+t was ill
met her on the block when i was tryna get a deal
kept it chill, told her we could build, make each other better
so we started workin’ out
kept each other accountable
every mornin’ we was out
she would scoop me in her hooptie
pearlin’ blunts like an oyster
from a million stories about a b+tches that’s hatin’ on her
always caught up in drama, actin’ ‘cus life’s a stage
always tryna run a play, i try to tell her “slow down
you be f+ckin’ with the wrong crowd”
around that time, i was leavin’ for my first tour
i came back but she never called back, i got the dial tone
years later, to my surprise, seen her down on skid row
at a stop sign, tappin’ on my window

[chorus + eric jamal]
how many stories could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell? (sounds like)
could it tell?
[verse 4 + eric jamal]
sounds like a broken record to me, wouldn’t you agree?
seems like the only thing you ever have for breakfast is tea
gossipin’, spreadin’ news like you nbc
what makes it worse: you do it for free
all day fishin’ for information just to catch and release
got my name in your mouth before you brushin’ your t++th
see, i don’t got time to spend just arguin’
majorin’ in minor degrees
you not in my league
come on, talkin’ ’bout communication is key
there you go, gaslight like the tank is on e
full of sh+t, bad enough you can’t show no receipts
expectin’ change when you never gave nothin’ to me
breathe
aw man
here we go again
crocodile tears in snakeskin
playin’ the victim, this fiction
i can’t believe
the best i can do is to wish you peace
peace

[outro]
how many stories could it tell?
could it tell?
could it tell?
