[Intro] Doom doom-doom doom Doom doom-doom doom Doom doom-doom doom Doom doom-doom-da-doom-doom-doom [Verse 1] Palm trees, chrome gleam, West breeze in the noon Kings speak, crown piece, sun beam on the dune Queens ride, low glide, moon beams in the room Golden state, whole plate, big dreams in full bloom We salute the Bronx blocks, first sparks of the boom Concrete, park heat, birthmark of the tune But the quake hit the coast, we carved art from the fumes Turned car hops, hard knocks to stars in the plume From the swap meets, top seats, bar codes and boom We took talk, flipped walk, wrote laws in the gloom Every bar got the tar of that charcoal perfume From the asphalt, mask off, we march in the gloom Lo riders, spokes spin like thoughts in the loom Coroners chalk lines where the prophets resume Still we plot royal routes from the blocks to the room Every block got a monarch, we are not just a crew [Chorus] Doom-doom (We the palm tree royalty, rollin' by the sea, yeah) Doom-doom (Cali crowns glowin', let the whole world see, yeah) Doom doom-doom (From the bay to the desert where the night runs deep) Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doom (We the kings on the coast, never bow, never sleep) [Verse 2] I respect where it started, park jams in the East But the wave hit the harbor, left sharks in the feast We just carved out a lane, put the art in the streets Turned dark days to parades, now it sparks when we speak From the crates to the plates, crossfades in the mix Turntables, war stories, scored fate with a fix We had fat laces, court cases, four eights in the whip Now the world quotes slang that was born in the bricks Sunset silhouette, set trends in the smog Every set had cassette decks drenched in the fog We were bench-pressin' stress, still stretched for the gods With the best pen, west wind pressed in the jog Now the globe rockin' locs, talk slanguage we brewed Every coast got a code, but this language is proof That the flame from the East lit a chain in the booth Now the West shares the crown, that’s the same royal truth [Chorus] Doom-doom (We the palm tree royalty, rollin' by the sea, yeah) Doom-doom (Cali crowns glowin', let the whole world see, yeah) Doom doom-doom (From the bay to the desert where the night runs deep) Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doom (We the kings on the coast, never bow, never sleep) [Verse 3] Every city got a scepter, every section a throne From the Heights to the Harbor, every block had its own We were broke but we spoke like the globe was our home Now the quotes that we wrote got ’em scrollin' they phones I’m a syllable surgeon, split scripts with a twist Stack syllables, track miracles, riddle the list From the Inland to the Island, every cipher we lit Got the skyline alignin' with the rhymes that we spit So when they talk about the culture, put the Coast in the frame We’re not guests, we invest in the pulse of the game From the first spark East, to the West with the flame It’s a shared throne, bare bones of the global domain Now the sun set slow on this crown of the breeze With the bass line low and the sound of the seas If you feel that funk bump poundin' your feet Then you know West kings still mountin' the peaks [Chorus] Doom-doom (We the palm tree royalty, rollin' by the sea, yeah) Doom-doom (Cali crowns glowin', let the whole world see, yeah) Doom doom-doom (From the bay to the desert where the night runs deep) Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doom (We the kings on the coast, never bow, never sleep)
