Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

305, we in the house

M's all on my belt, I'm feelin' like I'm Majin Buu
Pocket full of ivy and you know the face is blue
Shoe game sick as fuck, it's like I'm walking on the flu
Carol City, nigga, boy, I'm comin' out the
Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu

Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, I'm comin' out the

Rep your set, grab a TEC
Leave you wet and project
In the cut like Gillette
Where they serve and don't protect
Place a bet on your head
Call your bluff and make a check
Guilty until innocent
Far as I know, I'm heaven-sent
Glock, nine by nine, blow your mind, now you Einstein
Design, in my prime, to due time, bitch, I'm Frankenstein
This what you made me, Carol City raised me
Trick said I'm a thug, that's the hate you gave me (Ooh)

M's all on my belt, I'm feelin' like I'm Majin Buu
Pocket full of ivy and you know the face is blue
Shoe game sick as fuck, it's like I'm walking on the flu
Carol City, nigga, boy, I'm comin' out the
Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu

Boy, we comin' out the Zuu, Zuu, Zuu
Boy, I'm comin' out the Zuu

He compares himself to Majin Buu, the villainous creature from Dragon Ball Z, because of his aggressive attitude, but also because Buu has the ability to regenerate and Curry sees himself and his community as resilient.

He also references the colors blue and green, which are associated with Carol City. Curry feels empowered by his shoe game, which he describes as sick, and compares his walk to having the flu, implying that he's contagious and unstoppable. The repeated refrain of "we comin' out the Zuu" is a call to action, a statement of unity and a celebration of overcoming adversity.

The second verse is more violent, with Curry boasting about his tough image and the reputation of the neighborhood.

Overall, "ZUU" is a statement of pride and defiance. Curry sees himself and his community as survivors who have overcome the challenges of growing up in a rough neighborhood. His lyrics are a mix of intensity, creativity, and humor.
