Zero (Revolution)

Always wondered what my purpose was on paper
Wondered if I was movin' in God's favor
Wondered if the time came
How bad I'd get lost up in the vapors
Wondered if I'd ever relish in the month's flavor
The way I'm simmerin's consistent
With my vision of dismantling systems
Creatin' Darren Wilsons and George Zimmermans
The people's spirit became my goal of replenishment
Power I'll never relinquish, man
No longer a spectator of the anguish
Goin' harder if they try to vanquish
They lost in translation
Like I'm speakin' Spanglish
Or Germanese, homie please
Try Rosetta or better get with the program
The world is at its knees
So I'll never be concerned
With a wrist on freeze
Until the pain is at ease
Soldiers on the front lines
Fightin' a war that isn't theirs
It isn't fair
But this life ain't a crystal stair

They say they want a hero
I ain't fighting mothafuckas
for a number 1 spot, fuck a ego
I'm my only competition
They can't fathom my position
Or the steelo
I'm just doin' what I gotta
Sick and tired of the bottom
Can't deny there's a problem
To solve it, I'ma take this whole shit
Back to zero

They can judge the skill
Judges gettin' killed
Judgment rampant still
I'll move as I will
Always keep it real
Do it for the 'Ville
Fight colonial
Devils on the hill
No fucks how they feel
BLACK LIVES MATTER STILL
With every bar, I'ma seal the deal
On the boulevard of these broken dreams
Watch a brother heal
Far gone from the red pill
Broke the code, pulled the plug
Work is never done, we the chosen ones
So every word I'm spittin's
Scripture from a chosen tongue
Breath eternal Life to power
Through these chosen lungs
Speak it loud on every stage
Til the show is done
Fuck the slavery and shame
We gon' overcome
For all those going through the pain
I'ma throw them ones
Every dedicated verse is predicated
By the struggle that you've undertaken
And for that I'm grateful
This the soundtrack and the staple

They say they want a hero
I ain't fighting mothafuckas
For a number 1 spot, fuck a ego
I'm my only competition
They can't fathom my position
Or the steelo
I'm just doin' what I gotta
Sick and tired of the bottom
Can't deny there's a problem
To solve it, I'ma take this whole shit
Back to zero
