Saba - Ziplock Lyrics

Ayy, ayy, ayy
I was in West Oakland California
When I found out about a piece of me
All this solitude around
I'm starting to see when I'm alone, the shit I think
I come from the part of town not talked about
But chalk ya outline if you blink
I can't go outside today, that shine'll fade
And that go along with my piece
All these energies and entities
And people that just want shit from me
I can't make this up
The luxuries of being broke as fuck been escaping
Not to sound ungrateful 'bout the blessings
But my best days are all in my past
I been working like a slave, I'm proud to say
Now lil' bitch, I'm in my bag

And it ain't a ziplock
Went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond
Anytime I risked my life
Clocking out, the tick-tock
Watch it all on TikTok
I'm willing to bet it all
I'm willing to risk my life

And it ain't a ziplock
Went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond
Anytime I risked my life
Clocking out, the tick-tock
Watch it all on TikTok
I'm willing to bet it all
I'm willing to risk my life

Uh, yeah, yeah
I was in Bronx, New York when I decided
This the type of life that I'd live
I made sacrifices, what the fuck you writing for?
You know you do not give
I got right back on my feet
I fell-face first the first time, I'll admit I did
Took a couple years for me to feel like
I did not fall upon all deaf ears
Niggas wanna wait but I call that fear
At least I got a place for if all else fails
Nigga, I went on a date, told her, "call that Lyft"
I told her, "lose my line and don't call back here"
Yeah, I'm 'bout to lose my mind I got all that care
They listen to me rhyme and can't hold back tears
Gamble on a life but it won't be fair
Trade it all for some sand and a beach chair

And it ain't a ziplock
Went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond
Anytime I risked my life
Clocking out, the tick-tock
Watch it all on TikTok
I'm willing to bet it all
I'm willing to risk my life

And it ain't a ziplock
Went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond
Anytime I risked my life
Clocking out, the tick-tock
Watch it all on TikTok
I'm willing to bet it all
I'm willing to risk my life
