Coasting Along Lyrics

What would you do for a couple of dollars?

When yo lights out, baby need diapers, gotta feed yo toddler

They care more 'bout the shelf life of they food

FDA approved

Then askin' why the youth grow up fast like they do

More money to corporations

CEOs

25 years in the hole

Yo' health taking a toll

Gambling yo retirement

Student loans a requirement

A epidemic

For a degree with less pay and less growth

How we s'posed to pay rent

When inflation increasing

Now the landlord knocking at yo door

Trigger happy policing

Dip in that 401k just to dodge the eviction notice

People blinded by greed

Make sure yo eyes stay open

We all in pieces

We all need freedom

We all bleeding

There's hope in Jesus

But it's racism, classism, ageism, fascism

People out here tryna see how long they can last in it

This s'posed to be the land of the free huh?

Got my daughter saying the pledge of allegiance huh?

But we all out here tryna eat

We all out here fighting demons

We all just coasting and coasting and coasting along

Coasting to survive

I know living water in a well that never run dry

Never run dry

They say money can't buy you happiness

They out here depressed

The homeless on the streets

One medical bill

You could be next

Living paycheck to paycheck

Not knowing when yo' next meal

but you was proud to serve yo' country

They don't care how you feel

It's all backwards

Such a hazard

back problems

living in yo car

No savings

You feeling like breaking

How far is too far?

A slave to the lender

How low is the bottom?

What happens when you fall?

Gotta let it go like autumn

Billionaires got money for days

Illegal practices

They poisoning our minds

Social media full of actresses

I think about how I raise my kids

In a world like this

We believe the lies and

Hide the truth like it don't exist

Don't get me started on what it means to be black

Fighting for my rights

Like this country wasn't built on the backs of

my ancestors' strife

Asking for reparations

But that's too much power

the devil come to devour

God the only Strong Tower

This s'posed to be the land of the free huh?

Got my daughter saying the pledge of allegiance huh?

But we all out here tryna eat

We all out here fighting demons

We all just coasting and coasting and coasting along

Coasting to survive

I know living water in a well that never run dry

Never run dry

And He will

Whatever He says

I believe Him for it

He'll move every mountain

One day we'll see home

He'll come back again, back again

He will
