This your boy, D.J. Live Wire Comin live from the pavement Can you hear me through the snow? (Tune in, tune in) [Verse 1] Palm trees, chrome teeth, I slide through the static Blacktop baptism, bad news addict Motor mouth, mob talk, I’m built for the traffic One take, one cut, make the whole block panic I been through the cutty, through the grit, through the gutter Flip raw syllables, split slow like butter They talk tough, but they fold when the pressure come tighter I stay sharp in the dark with the torch and the lighter Came up on cracks in the dial, little sparks in the wire Hear the hiss, then the snarl, then the whole room fire I don’t bluff, I don’t front, I don’t lean on a crutch I lace each line like a blade, let it sing when it touch Big bass in my chest, little hate in my grin I been bred for the storm, let the thunder begin [Pre-Chorus] Pull back, then blast off Hear that snare tap and the mask off Hands up when the words hit One breath, then the whole block lit [Chorus] West Coast, ride with me West Coast, feel that heat West Coast, ride with me Tell ’em who run these streets West Coast, ride with me West Coast, feel that heat West Coast, ride with me We don’t sleep, we eat [Verse 2] Syllable sniper, I slice through the noise Kick drum knock like a riot in the boys Rhyme scheme labyrinth, I’m miles in the maze Mean mug, clean cut, leave ’em caught in a daze I move like a rumor with a boot on the gas No slack, no slack, better move when I pass Steel-cold focus in a wolf-hour stare Every bar double-parked with the weight and the glare I got the bassline barking, got the midnight snarling Got the whole lane shaking when the cadence start sparking From the alley to the avenue, I’m heavy with the proof Tell the truth, I’m a problem in the paint with the truth I don’t chase what they flaunt, I erase what they keep Then I circle back around like a vulture on sleep [Bridge] [Static Swell] Dial crackles, then the signal gets mean One more turn and the frequency cleans Low tide, hard glide, keep the engine alive When the strings cut in, that’s the hunger arriving [Final Chorus] West Coast, ride with me West Coast, feel that heat West Coast, ride with me Tell ’em who run these streets West Coast, ride with me West Coast, feel that heat West Coast, ride with me We don’t sleep, we eat [Outro] Yo yo yo You tuned in now Stay locked Live Wire out (stay locked)
