Truth2Power: The Roots - "Coast to coast, from L.A. to Chicago Now I’m faced with the weight of survival"

Artist: The Roots Song: Atonement Released: August 29, 2006

Lyric:

Coast to coast, from L.A. to Chicago Now I’m faced with the weight of survival

Context (via Genius):

He’s ran coast to coast [figuratively or literally] trying to escape his past. Now, he’s faced with the weight that survival carries on his day of atonement.

Also, when he says “coast to coast” followed by the descriptor “L.A. to Chicago,” he means that he only tried half as hard as he should, similar to how L.A. to Chicago is only half of “coast to coast.”
