I Was Zero |
If it wasn’t for the bass, I wouldn’t need these hearing aids |
If it wasn’t for mistakes, I probably wouldn’t be here today |
10 years ago I was 22 |
20 years ago I was 12 |
30 years ago I was 2 |
But when I came out my momma I was zero |
When I came out my momma I was zero. |
(x3) |
I was zero when I came out my momma, and now everybody knows |
In the before life, I was undead |
I was home schooled, there were no rules |
But I gave it all up, just for the chance to go public |
A celestial scarecrow dancing with the puppets |
A tug in my gut, I’m carrying the world in my stomach |
I’m a surrogate mother-fucker the girls love it |
Birth the suffix and cut the visible string |
Control’s much more than a physical thing |
I was born into it, and before I knew it |
I saw the students of poor gettin' hauled off to war |
The law of Judas in the land of the king’s tax |
Partaking the Eucharist, then demand your kick-backs |
Spiritual wrist slap, please pass the sacrament |
Ask if big bad black Jesus was African |
Selling a click track, call it a soul-clap |
It’s all in how you package it |
The power of a magic trick |
Immaculate concepts, lost in the land of the cross |
I’m standing off with a man of the cloth |
He knows the ins and out’s and all I wants the outs |
Hes selling real estate for some place in the clouds |
But I’m not investing in intellectual property |
Inventing gender-bending technology |
Because maybe everybody needs to just become a sexual oddity |
Leaving birth to the test tubes and death to the lottery |
There’s no one stopping me, I’ve gotta be self-regulating |
Wealth is escalating, but my poverty was entertaining |
I’m debating, the value of a caste system |
I’m cash backed for wars and wars funded by my tax income |
I find my part of the problem in part of me |
There’s always been a difference between what I am and what I wanna be |
It’s either Jihadist freak or Jesus scenester |
I heard god is cumming and shes a screamer |
I couldn’t understand what she was telling me |
Why everyone thinks that they’re their own worst enemy |
I followed the manual and I swallowed the skeleton key |
And it unlocked the hell in me |
(So this is my gift to god!) Rippin' at my dick like a tourniquet, syphilis! |
(This is my gift to god!) I’m jumpin' out the cake, naked with a shank |
(This is my gift to god!) Unwrap the package confetti made of maggots |
(This is my gift) You call that talent? |
here’s your image back, you can have it |
10 years ago I was 22 |
20 years ago I was 12 |
30 years ago I was 2 |
When I came out my momma I was zero. |
(x4) |
I was zero when I came out my momma, and now everybody knows. |
(x2) |
If it wasn’t for the bass, I wouldn’t need these hearing aids |
If it wasn’t for mistakes, I probably wouldn’t be here today. |
(x2) |
