Producers: Ark Patrol and Subranger

STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Ike came across producer Ark Patrol while surfing the internet and knew this was a producer he wanted to work with. While freestyling to the beat, there was a certain flow to the beat Ike was riding and was able to come up with the concept and verse for the song which talks about his journey through life as well as encouraging others to take the journey. Ike reached out to fellow teammate, Cutright, and they put together the single.

LYRICS

Hook- Coastin’/ top down with the windows open just Coastin’/ Hillsong and we bumpin Ocean straight Coastin’/ top down with the windows open just Coastin’

Verse one (Ike Hill)- Yoooo we straight coastin nah we ain’t the roller type/They ain’t seeing in the dark that’s why we hold the light/why gamble with your life like you roll the dice/and now you’re thinking to yourself Ike I know you’re right/well, then if you on board then boogie/ and if want that true blood better fall in Sooki/ and to be brutally honest, before I found the promise my life to his nostril was straight raw wit this/see the Lord he pushed me so I had to go there/cause I was in motion coastin on the road to nowhere/wasn’t till my old life caught the wave, bye bye/had to kill my old me had a self drive-by/yea I just drove on by cuz I had let the body surf/and Christ paid more than a Bugatti worth/ and if your tank’s on e, you can fill it for free but how you getting there if u ain’t shifting out of first/ we coastin’ (hook)

Verse two (Cutright)- They never thought we’d glorify the Lord in rap/ I never thought I’d see the Charlotte Hornets back/ they watching CNN and have a heart attack/ well John 3 1 6 will give em all the facts/ it’s good news if you ain’t know what His love’ll do/ we was Hollow Da Don, we ain’t deserve the W/ that’s why we stand as lights in a city on a hill/ where Iggy ain’t as fancy as the lilies on the field, for real/ that Jeremiah fire in my vains/ though my roommates aren’t gay, I be staying with some flames/ hit the corner living water flow wash away the stains/ think Fernie minus the beard, they’ll never be the same/ beyond the edge of tomorrow is another life to live, so why gain the world just to lose your soul/ just sit back and chill, let Yeshua take the wheel and coast through this one on Tom Cruise control/ we just coastin’ (hook)
