Vostok is a high-energy anthem where Jony and TLK celebrate their Eastern roots, unstoppable hustle, and close-knit loyalty. The chorus repeats “Know what the East is,” framing the East as a place of vibrant passion and pride, symbolized by the artist’s “bae,” who embodies pure delight. Over bouncy trap beats, the duo flaunts their rise from humble beginnings to designer dreams, stacking money “strictly by a hundred” yet immediately sliding their earnings to Mom’s table. This mix of luxury and family devotion turns the track into a toast to hard-won success that never forgets where it came from.
Throughout the verses you’ll hear snapshots of a life built by grit: rolling through Moscow City in an AMG, planning sold-out shows in LA, and throwing a “feast for the whole world.” But behind every flex lies a message of self-made perseverance – “Bro, don’t believe in miracles, I did it all myself.” Vivid Eastern imagery blends with Western swagger, creating a cross-cultural vibe that invites listeners to chase their goals, stay loyal to their roots, and share every victory with the ones who mattered from day one.
