Lyrics Ziplock by Saba

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 sh*t I think
I come from the part of town not talked about, but chalk get outlined if you blink
I can't go outside today, that shine'll fade, and that go along with my peace
All these energies and entities, and people that just want sh*t from me
I can’t make this up, the luxuries of being broke as f**k been escapin'
Not to sound ungrateful 'bout the blessings, but my best days are all in my past
I been workin' like a slave, I'm proud to say now lil' b*t*h I'm in my bag, ayy

And it ain't a ziplock, wеnt and got a wristwatch
Cop’ll never respond, anytimе I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I’m willin' to bet it all, I’m willin' to risk my life
And it ain't a ziplock, went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytime I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I’m willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
Mm, yeah, yeah

I was in Bronx, New York, when I decided this the type of life that I'd live
I make sacrifices, what the f**k 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
n***as wanna wait, but I call that fear
At least I got a place for if all else fails
n***a, 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 risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
And it ain't a ziplock, went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytime I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok (TikTok)
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
