SLAINE - Zip Zero lyrics

[Hook] I come from nothing zip zero The bottom where it get so Difficult we tip toe through the stuggle We hustle just to cut that check The upper edge want another respect You feel the neglect Say wh-uh oh Pound and respect Youngsters so stressed Watching them detects Let me hear you say wh-uh oh [Verse 1: Slaine] Ketchup and french fries Chocolate milk and grilled cheeses My grandmother's kitchen Statues of k**ed Jesus Neighborhood felons with bulges from loaded pieces Out the window hang in front of the problems I can see this So who's the gangstas and corrupt polices Who grew up the street with both sides you cuss and eat with Yeah you caught between the friction But addiction's just a secret We speak in codes, no one outside us can't peep it I went to church at sixteen looking at his coffin His last thought was that his dope habit hadn't caught him I stared at the stain gla** Apologize for that abortion My soul is not for scorching I'll adopt an orphan When I grow up I promise honor on the church steps On almost the same spot [?] Percosets It wasn't on before the h**ne schemes 'Cause I'm a blue collar hood in these American dreams [Hook] [Verse 2: Reks] That's on my mama and my papa Full of drama man it get worse Nanna and my grampy started psycho wasn't rehearsed They birthed a motherf**ing genius, is he cursed Yes sir was extra extra extra n***a-ish b**h don't k** my vibe Chris don't give no flies f** you when love of your lives Daddy died barely knew him, barely cried Belly of the beast, belly full of hard times Rhyme in new times crimes is usual times I'm unsuitable for this f**ed up design Through the I'm gonna go to college talk Did the hip-hopper walk, sip the alcohol f** the law naw I don't f** with ya'll No need to discuss it all Large balls in a small pond Pebble from a rebel, uh Brother here, he gon' try to mourn what's been destined Ignore no more books on my lessons Listen [Hook] [Verse 3: Termanology] We come from nothing zip zero This is where we come from My grandma and my mama smoke so much they got one lung My man just got three years in jail He only had one gun His BM got another man changing his daughter bum bum When your eyes are full of tears Pouring molly in your beers And you party every year 'Cause it's part of your career And you hardly open your mind 'Cause you blinded by them parasites Using d** and alcohol adding strife to your damaged life Me I must survive my block was hotter than lava As a minor I barely see my father so what's the karma 'Cause we never kicked or pitched a ball Pissed I'm missing my dogs The pedophile that lived upstairs from me was scary as all Hell is what we going through Let me get a loan or two I'll pay you back when I get my taxes My rent is overdue I represent the struggle, the poor and the misfortunate So you can keep the bottles, them crumbs and all them who*es [Hook]
