Lyrics

ZIGOLO

[Verse 1: CENSORED dialogue]

My momma said she'd kill me

If I call CPS

Then turn around and be confused

Why I ain't bring home no guests

Now why the fuck you treating me

Like a vermin or pest

Strike me down with a vengeance

Leave me off of the crest

Daddy used to say

That they should've gotten rid of me

My whole life's a cycle

Of them building and depleting me

Everything is sacred except me

I'm a commodity

I am the embodiment

Of all the world's obscenities

I set fire to the mantle

'Cause it did me no good

I flew the fuck up off the handle

Like all good women should

Can't hold a candle to the past

Because the name don't exist

Now our connections are in shambles

Interaction so brisk

I wish we could talk through all the bad

But I know you're sick

All redeeming qualities you had

Could never save this shit

I know your head is hard as bricks

So I must impart with this

The apple ain't fall far

But at least I tried to roll a bit

[Sampled Bridge]

It was prescribed. The other group believes that this curse on women is simply a natural consequence of sin, and what God is doing is informing Eve of what's going to happen now that she's allowed sin into the world. And he's doing so with a heavy heart. It's not because he wants to do this. In a sense he's coming to Eve and he's saying, "You don't understand what you've done. Because of what you've done, this is going to happen"

[Verse 2: Sadistik]

Homie said God is my enemy

To show me he offered me ketamine

Rotten skin's crawling with centipedes

How many shots 'til a cop is a memory?

Serpents all turned to Perseus

Leave you no altar to worship with

Sharks always circle him

Rottweiler bark like he Cerberus

All of my walls Black Paintings, all of my gods can't save me

All of my opps can't face me, all of their talks got gangrene

Hollow eyes watch all waiting

Homicides not off table

On a high got that scapegoat

Water my Columbines onto my halo

Watch how I change tones

He's got his Father's eyes, it's prophesied

I'll pop a pill and watch the skies

Sometimes I feel I'm not alive

I wanna kill what's not aligned, it's all I find inside

Idle eyes got revitalized, pick up bad habits drop the vital signs

Look outside it's spiral lines, L.A. smog ripe with cyanide

Yea, I know how to spot 'em

Gimme that baggie I know that you got 'em

Lord of Gomorrah, Pope of the Sodom

Why would I off you there's no one to watch?

Write it in car fuel that's glow in the dark

Light it and watch your soul go with the spark

I am an obstacle no one can cross

Yea, show 'em to God

[Sampled Bridge]

Now, does everyone understand the two different positions? The first believes that God is prescribing the curse. The second believes that God is simply describing the curse. Sounds the same, different. I hope you understand that. Because if you don't, then we're gonna kind of be lost in what we're building. Now, let me explain why this is so important. These two groups represent two different perspectives of God

[Verse 3: Backxwash]

How to explain every shame

With all that I felt when I dealt with Cain

How did the rain bring so much pain

When they coulda melted it the same

How did the angels fall from my grace

And mix with the devils

Leave with their halo

Sinister rebels, demons and melkor

Tip of the scales, wickedest sulfur

Picture of hell

Picture of heaven

You think of twelve

Think of the seven

I gave 'em help

Just need them to pray in

Fix all their faces

See the arrangements (Fuck!)

I gotta keep all the planets from shifting the spaces

Vindictive complaining when all decisions are flagrant

Then they need me to engage with

Hold up

I did a lot for these bitches

I lived a rock for these bitches

I gave 'em pac

I've been the hope to these bitches

I brought the prophet to bitches

They'll pay respects in the fire and brim

Elijah and kin the violent things

Jesus will need to annihilate me

The Jesuits will sing from the highest of peaks

Beezlebub brought to his knees

Asmodeus, gon' leap from the tallest of trees

Satan won't feel so forsaken

Now that the lord has awoken and brought all his grace in

I did it all cause I love 'em

This is compassion

If you don't like it, then fuck 'em

The Alpha Omega, lord of the justice

One that's above it (Trust!)
