about

Zero Sum Game is the debut single from the BLKTEK project by Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics member Tajai and super-producer The Architect.

lyrics

Last seen at the Ponderosa-
Ticonderoga out the holster on the "wanted" poster
Do not approach him, six feet at least from the spit unless you want the 'Rona
Light-work melanoma, burnt flesh aroma
Catch em where they thugging at
All they seen was a smile and a muzzle flash
All they heard was a laugh then a thunderclap,
Nigga bent 3 corners and doubled back
No survivors - Snorkel and mask I’m an ocean diver
It's the middle of the summer, why's it so surprising?
Blow your dome to bits like a dandelion
Now you down there lying - freshly creased & ironed
Now you can keep denying, or your can keep the iron
Hot on the hip where the pleat’s applied
I’d be obliged to bring them extras through
I’m talking honeybuns, bananas nigga, breakfast food
We up early in the morning trying to catch these dudes
They finna need a some bags and some stretchers too
I give a fuck what that vest’ll do
If I let this loose? It’s getting through
Yeah, this my theme for the apocalypse
I love to watch em dance when the rockets hit
It's the boogaloo, shrimp pop locking shit
Either you cop this shit or a shot gets licked
My matrix glitch consists of eighths and zips, a pasty chick chasing chips taking trips places I can’t exist
Sharmoutas moving cooter on a blazing strip
I run the blitz- y'all play prevent
When I get the sack ain’t no celebrating
Until I get to Sac and my fellas waiting
Whole pallet wrapped in the cellophane
Instant liquidation, didn’t have to tell em nathan
Unhappy with my stack so I elevated
Ran hella capers...worked every angle
The sum total of my education
Is knowing nothing's more dangerous than hesitation
