East Coast Rising Lyrics

East Coast Rising

Atlantic swellin up
Crash on the sand like a super-nova
Fillin up my heart the cup
Never stopping, running over
So many cities crushed together
I-95 and a coastal tether
New Orleans up to Boston we got everything that's awesome
Think I'll stay
I never knew the way
But what can I say - this shit's okay
& family led me to this place
Like a dead man I vanish with no trace
East coast mantle protection policy
We take care of each other
'Cause that's our way
Am I wrong or am I right -
Atlantic wins tha fight tonite
Hard core, rugged and raw
In tha streets of NY we still be workin above tha fuckin law [-Skwert]
Anyone who says the east it least
Obviously has not met the beast
Even though you got Californication
Vertical seaboard up and down
I think it's clear who wears the crown
East coast mantle protection policy
We stick together cause that's our way
Even if the world stands against us in the end
We've got everything it takes to stand and defend
All hail to the East Coast Allies
EAST COAST HAIL!
All hail to the land of the sunrise
NOT FOR SALE!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is just about how bad ass the east coast is(and america, which is weird coming from a punk group) one of the greatest songs no one has ever heard of
