Channel Zero
Freaky Tah Lyrics

Ayo, yea niggas
Hey, you tough individuals

I'm talkin to all y'all hard rock niggas
I'm addressing all of you who act tough

Let y'all niggas know that I understand
I want to make it known that I comprehend

What niggas is really goin through ya understand?
I grasp the hardships that people are experiencing, do you comprehend?

Motherfuckin down to they last cent
They are left with almost no money at all

Smoke the looseys
They smoke cheap cigarettes

Thinkin up shit to do, doin stick ups and shit
They contemplate and engage in robberies and crimes

Bustin at niggas, murderin niggas
Shooting and killing people

Gettin bullshit ass money
Earning insignificant amounts of money

What if that was your breed was you murderin clown?
Consider if your loved ones were the victims, how would you feel?

It's wack
It's no good

Shout out to grandpa, you know what i'm sayin
A respectful mention to my grandfather, do you understand?

Shout out to grandpa kelly
Give recognition to Grandpa Kelly

My man ralou's brother little Deven
Acknowledge the brother of my friend Ralou, Little Deven

Ya know I'm sayin, Freaky Taliq's moms, rest in peace
You understand, let's pay respects to the mother of Freaky Taliq, who has passed away

Know I'm sayin
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Everybody wanna live the ill life, know i'm sayin
Everyone desires to have an exciting life, do you understand?

But yo we tryin ta live it like love, peace and nappiness
However, we are attempting to live it with love, peace, and happiness

You know I'm sayin, word up
You understand what I'm saying, absolute truth

I'm growing up in the ghetto
I am maturing in a deprived neighborhood

And there was nobody happy
There wasn't anyone truly content

And my head is mad nappy and
My hair is extremely unkempt and tangled, and

I'm thinkin up a way that I can get some dough
I'm contemplating a method to obtain money

Man I'm tryin ta blow
Man, I'm trying to succeed

But yet this record shit is so slow
However, this music career is progressing slowly

I got the whole family on my back
My entire family relies on me

All I do is eat and sleep
All I do is consume food and rest

Run the street with that steel pack
Patrol the streets with a firearm

You know the lost boyz got
You are aware that the Lost Boyz possess

With timbs and jeans
They wear Timberland boots and jeans

Field jackets, and hats coverin the eyes
Field jackets and hats that conceal their eyes

But listen, that's how it is
But listen, that's how things are

If you don't dig how I live
If you don't understand my way of life

Motherfucka
You fool

Cuz everyday on the street
Because every day on the street

The black man is gettin beat
Black individuals are being mistreated

Police line us up on the concrete
Law enforcement gathers us on the concrete

Now people look at me
Now people observe me

And always see wrong
And always perceive something negative

A new problem everyday
A new issue arises each day

I'm tryin ta be strong
I'm attempting to be resilient

Now how strong can a nigga be
Now, how resilient can an individual be

When the blacks is locked down
When black individuals are imprisoned

And the white man's got the key
And white individuals hold the power

It's gettin harder day after day
It's becoming more challenging day by day

Somebody got ta pay
Somebody must be held accountable

And in my closet lays an AK
And I have an AK rifle hidden in my closet

The new cat is found dead
The new guy is discovered deceased

Plus when he killed the girl
Additionally, when he murdered the girl

He put the gun to his own head
He aimed the gun at his own head

Ya never hear it on the 6:00 news
You never hear about it on the 6:00 news

When my niggas get killed in the street over tennis shoes
When my friends are murdered in the streets for their sneakers

It's hard enough for us blacks to earn cash man
It's already difficult for us black individuals to make money

The homeless keep warm by settin fire to a trash can
The homeless stay warm by lighting fires in trash cans

Now everyday I need ends
Nowadays, I constantly need money

New shit my nigga weed
New things and my friend's marijuana

St. Ides is my best friend
St. Ides malt liquor is my closest companion

Pa's is broke
My father is penniless

No calls comin in on my phone
No phone calls are coming in

And money I'm down to my last stone
And I only have a little money left

My mom dukes is always bangin on my door
My mother constantly knocks on my door

My music's too loud
She complains that my music is too loud

I got clothes on the floor (pick em up)
I have clothes scattered on the floor (pick them up)

She doesn't understand
She doesn't comprehend

I'm cruisin in the fast lane
I'm living a fast-paced lifestyle

I'm fresh outta nerves
I'm completely out of patience

Ma, you're workin on my last vein
Mother, you're irritating me to the extreme

Now how can I explain
Now, how can I clarify

That I don't wanna take her out
That I don't want to go out with her

But that's stuck in my brain
But that's constantly on my mind

We're havin fight after fight
We're having constant arguments

Because I leave when it's bright
Because I leave when it's still daytime

And comes home the next night
And return home the following night

But that's the life that I live understands me
But that's the life that I lead, can you comprehend it?

It's bad enough that Po-Nine tried ta can me
It's already terrible enough that the police tried to arrest me

Ayo my lifestyle is rough
Hey, my way of life is intense

I got three sisters, four brothers
I have three sisters and four brothers

Man, ain't this enough?
Man, isn't this sufficient?

But yet I gots no hero
However, I lack a role model

But I got the 411 on the ghetto
But I have the necessary information on the neighborhood

Tune into channel zero

I live in Queens, New York (what you do?)
I reside in Queens, New York (what do you do?)

I twist a cap with my niggas
I open a bottle with my friends

Smoke a blunt let's start to talk
Smoke a marijuana cigarette, let's begin a conversation

About this ill situation
Discussing this terrible situation

That us blacks is in
That we black individuals are facing

It's time we build a better nation
It's time for us to construct a superior country

Motherfuck them police
Damn those police officers

Some whites talk about peace
Some white individuals talk about peace

But they ain't ready for the planet
But they aren't prepared for the world

Marky Mark be talkin that slang
Marky Mark speaks in that vernacular

But he don't even understand it
But he doesn't even comprehend it

Yea I said Marky Mark
Yes, I mentioned Marky Mark

Frontin like the buddarist punk
Acting like the coolest punk

I never saw you in the park
I never saw you in the neighborhood

You give it all to your bullshit skills G
You devote yourself entirely to your unimpressive skills, my friend

A white boy actin black, that shit kills me
A white boy pretending to be black, that nonsense annoys me

Pants hangin, talkin slang kid and all that
With sagging pants, speaking in slang, young one and everything

I never seen you in the projects or black
I never witnessed you in the housing projects or around black people

Ya never wons no grammy
You never won a Grammy

Ya whites gave Elvis a stamp
You white individuals honored Elvis with a stamp

But what ya plan ta give my man Sammy?
But what are you planning to give my friend Sammy?
