Oxygen - Zion I

There was a time where I used to care what folks think

Sniffing on my arm hoping that I don’t stink

Your boys are turned to men and men turned to savages

I call it for you statistics and averages

And so we grow up with these hopes and dreams

Like the world getting labeling us as dope and fiends

We want a life of fine ass wife

And a house where the kids play can play without strife

But all we get is the same ol shit

Kind of pissed our tips is where the rich gets richer

And we sip the liquor homie split the swisher

Tryna buy stock options and switch the picture

But I’im all out of focus mayne its hard to cope

Gimme a rope just to wrap my throat

And we don’t vote not that I don’t believe the system

But our answer to gleff is our right man listen

I need oxygen

Gimme air let me breathe again

Ay, can’t take for granted what we never really had

A nice thicket fence for the mom and dad

And it makes me mad When I look in the eye

Of the children and the night I hear their souls cry

As eye burst eye and it test the wills

The IRS comin by and collectin bills

Im' so blessed with the fire it gives me chills

In a country so cold cause shes set to still

My movement smooth and infused with the realest

Shackled and chained yall can’t kill us

Tackle my brain harassing my fellas

Gaffle me up and tag me a villain

Im still chillin yall can’t stop the strut out

Im black man tucked in my hide out

You can’t come in unless you summon

I call all my people that’s runnin for hills for skrill

When we chase dolla bills still it’s a ill lifestyle for real

Feel like killa be killed tryna to eat a meal

The government like to steal

We got a bum deal

I need oxygen

Gimme air let me breathe again

Hey

Ima be chookin in this state were in

No job or education need a great bm

Kids walking up to school cutting late again

Block huggin wanna thug get them papers in

Closeminded in a world that we stationed in

World wide territories in there safe and friends

Terrorism at a high but it starts within

Livin wild getting vile but its hard to win

But we can’t get united we all competent

And I’m breathing in this beat like its oxygen
