Zig Zag Zig
DJ MUGGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making smooth maneuvers 'til we major league
Nah we don't believe the shit
You make up like Maybelline
To fuck with me, you niggas ain't able
I state it blatantly
Before I was in talks with a label
Was getting paid from fiends
Pull up and spray the scene
See the shit on News 12 cable
The getaway was clean
Put you bitch niggas in ya place
Like a maître d'
Built this shit with eighth's and
Quarter bricks like masonry
Got some info off the dark
Web and started makin' E's
Pill pressin' and bonding agents
Duckin' the agency slide with ya lady
She opened off of my wavy steez
Streets been mackin'
She don't hesitate to pay for me
And place the paper in my pocket
I'm profitin' gracefully
You ain't poppin'
You pocket watching the shit you hate to see
I'm the alpha and omega, A to Z
Allah Zig Zag Zig
My only concern is if the bag big
Black kids never had it easy
Had to grind for this but understand
Land is more important than designer shit
We split the fortune in portions
And everybody fine with it
They say you gon' get everything you
Deserve when the time is lit
Pirate ya man start talkin' sweet
All he gon' see is hands and feet
Turn his street dreams to them
Nightmares on Delancey Street
Blood spilt on the Nike Airs, from my enemies
Niggas caught up in my crosshairs
Won't be a memory call this philanthropy
We gave these niggas amnesty
Fucked up they roots
Broke off the branches then we split the tree
Dropped off that work at the
College campus up at UNC
Kicked up some dirt
Out in them Hamptons in a foreign V
All my niggas touched dirty money
But did it honorably
Movin' them pharmaceuticals on them
Corners like the pharmacy i know your vices
You wan' take a thug's
Image and his likeness
But you scared to death
Of them drug indictments
Empathically non cipher
They ain't dabble in them ciphers
We was movin' grams
Them niggas ran with scammers
And 'em swipers
One love to all my lifers and
My niggas locked on Rikers
And fuck them 85ers
They don't ABC or like us pirate (Yo)
The song "Zig Zag Zig" by DJ Muggs is a gritty portrayal of drug dealing and street life. The lyrics describe the singer's experiences as a drug dealer, detailing the dangers and risks involved in the trade. The singer is proud of his achievements, having built his business from scratch with small amounts of drugs, and boasts of his success with women and money. He also touches on the idea of giving back to the community, claiming to have granted amnesty to his rivals and splitting profits with his associates. The song ends with a shout-out to fellow drug dealers and friends who have been incarcerated, leaving behind those who are not able to keep up with their lifestyle.
The lyrics illustrate the harsh realities of life on the streets, where morality is often ambiguous and survival is key. The singer is unapologetic about his choices and actions, reflecting the larger socio-economic conditions that force many to resort to illegal means of income. The lyrics also serve as a critique of the criminal justice system, which disproportionately targets and imprisons black individuals and perpetuates a cycle of poverty and crime.
Overall, "Zig Zag Zig" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that sheds light on the struggles of marginalized communities and the complexities of living in a society that is rife with inequality and injustice.

We don't trust the lies you tell, they're as fake as cosmetic advertisements
To fuck with me, you niggas ain't able I state it blatantly
Don't try to mess with me, I'm too strong and I'll tell you this straight up
Before I was in talks with a label Was getting paid from fiends
I used to make money selling drugs before I got signed to a record label
Chillin' with the wild and unstable Pull up and spray the scene See the shit on News 12 cable The getaway was clean
Hanging out with dangerous people, committing crimes and getting away with them without getting caught
Put you bitch niggas in ya place Like a maître d'
I'll put any disrespectful people in their place like a restaurant host
Built this shit with eighth's and Quarter bricks like masonry
I built my success from small drug deals to larger drug deals, like a mason building a brick wall
Got some info off the dark Web and started makin' E's
I learned how to make Ecstasy from the dark web and started selling it
Pill pressin' and bonding agents Duckin' the agency slide with ya lady She opened off of my wavy steez
I make pills using pill presses and chemicals, avoiding law enforcement while hanging out with your girlfriend who's interested in my style
Streets been mackin' She don't hesitate to pay for me And place the paper in my pocket I'm profitin' gracefully
I'm making money in the streets, and your girlfriend is more than happy to fund me while I remain successful and undetected

My only concern is if the bag big Black kids never had it easy Had to grind for this but understand Land is more important than designer shit
My only concern is making a lot of money. Black people have to work hard for their success and we understand that ownership of land is more valuable than material possessions
We split the fortune in portions And everybody fine with it They say you gon' get everything you Deserve when the time is lit
We divide our wealth equally and everyone is happy with their share, and it's believed that we'll get what's coming to us when the time is right
Pirate ya man start talkin' sweet All he gon' see is hands and feet Turn his street dreams to them Nightmares on Delancey Street
If anyone talks disrespectfully to me, they'll get beat up and their aspirations will turn into nightmares
Blood spilt on the Nike Airs, from my enemies Niggas caught up in my crosshairs Won't be a memory call this philanthropy
I've killed people who opposed me, but I see it as charitable work because it removed those who were standing in the way of my success
We gave these niggas amnesty Fucked up they roots Broke off the branches then we split the tree
We gave these people a break, but then we destroyed their foundation and cut them off completely
Dropped off that work at the College campus up at UNC Kicked up some dirt Out in them Hamptons in a foreign V All my niggas touched dirty money But did it honorably
We dropped off drugs at the University of North Carolina, then went to the Hamptons to have fun in a luxurious car. We all made money illegally, but we did it without hurting innocent people
Movin' them pharmaceuticals on them Corners like the pharmacy i know your vices You wan' take a thug's Image and his likeness
We sell drugs on street corners like an actual pharmacy. I know what you're interested in and you want to imitate my way of life
But you scared to death Of them drug indictments Empathically non cipher They ain't dabble in them ciphers
But you're too afraid to get in trouble with the law. You have no experience with the drug business
We was movin' grams Them niggas ran with scammers And 'em swipers One love to all my lifers and My niggas locked on Rikers And fuck them 85ers They don't ABC or like us pirate (Yo)
We were selling small amounts of drugs, while others were working with identity thieves and credit card scammers. I love my friends who are in jail and wish them the best. I don't like people who aren't part of our group
