[00:00.000]I Was Zero (Explicit) - Sage Francis
[00:11.270]If it wasn't for the bass I wouldn't need these hearing aids
[00:16.330]If it wasn't for mistakes I probably wouldn't be here today
[00:21.380]10 years ago I was 22
[00:23.630]20 years ago I was 12
[00:26.310]30 years ago I was 2
[00:28.740]But when I came out my momma I was zero
[00:31.360]When I came out my momma I was zero
[00:34.040]When I came out my momma I was zero
[00:36.650]I was zero when I came out my momma
[00:38.400]And now everybody knows
[00:41.710]In the before life I was undead
[00:44.290]I was home schooled there were no rules
[00:46.910]But I gave it all up just for the chance to go public
[00:49.650]A celestial scarecrow dancing with the puppets
[00:52.370]A tug in my gut I'm carrying the world in my stomach
[00:55.710]I'm a surrogate mother-f**ker the girls love it
[00:58.020]Birth the suffix and cut the visible string
[01:00.230]Controls much more than a physical thing
[01:02.600]I was born into it and before I knew it
[01:05.180]I saw the students of poor gettin' hauled off to war
[01:07.930]The law of Judas in the land of the king's tax
[01:10.740]Partaking the Eucharist then demand your kick-backs
[01:13.470]Spiritual wrist slap please pass the sacrament
[01:16.030]Ask if big bad black Jesus was African
[01:18.590]Selling a click track call it a soul-clap
[01:21.150]It's all in how you package it
[01:22.640]The power of a magic trick
[01:24.220]Immaculate concepts lost in the land of the cross
[01:26.800]I'm standing off with a man of the cloth
[01:28.990]He knows the ins and out's and all I wants the outs
[01:31.300]Hes selling real estate for some place in the clouds
[01:34.290]But I'm not investing in intellectual property
[01:36.660]Inventing gender-bending technology
[01:38.720]Because maybe everybody needs to just become a sexual oddity
[01:41.780]Leaving birth to the test tubes and death to the lottery
[01:44.960]There's no one stopping me I've gotta be self-regulating
[01:47.320]Wealth is escalating but my poverty was entertaining
[01:50.090]I'm debating the value of a caste system
[01:52.530]I'm cash backed for wars and wars funded by my tax income
[01:55.270]I find my part of the problem in part of me
[01:57.910]There's always been a difference between
[01:58.740]What I am and what I wanna be
[02:00.670]It's either Jihadist freak or Jesus seamster
[02:03.480]I heard god is cumming and she's a screamer
[02:06.530]I couldn't understand what she was telling me
[02:08.270]Why everyone thinks that they're their own worst enemy
[02:10.700]I followed the manual and I swallowed the skeleton key
[02:14.040]And it unlocked the hell in me
[02:15.890](So this is my gift to god)
[02:18.700]Rippin' at my dick like a tourniquet syphilis
[02:21.200](This is my gift to god)
[02:23.630]I'm jumpin' out the cake naked with a shank
[02:26.250](This is my gift to god)
[02:28.980]Unwrap the package confetti made of maggots
[02:31.560](This is my gift)
[02:33.680]You call that talent
[02:35.090]Here's your image back you can have it
[02:47.320]10 years ago I was 22
[02:49.430]20 years ago I was 12
[02:52.370]30 years ago I was 2
[02:54.740]When I came out my momma I was zero
[02:57.430]When I came out my momma I was zero
[03:00.050]When I came out my momma I was zero
[03:02.600]When I came out my momma I was zero
[03:05.270]When I came out my momma I was zero
[03:07.900]I was zero when I came out my momma
[03:10.050]And now everybody knows
[03:11.740]And now everybody knows
[03:13.180]I was zero when I came out my momman
[03:14.990]And now everybody knows
