Z.I.N.

Lyrics

[Intro] Love you, brother Thinking 'bout the homie Z.I.N., the person that you was And knowing you had this track, we gon' rep it for you Come on, uh [Verse 1] Man, what would Z.I.N. do on this track? Probably spit some facts, make it blend smooth Then use some deep wisdom to help us improve Maybe drop a little knowledge or spit what he been through DJ, producer and sick with a pen too Jack of all trades, mentally sharp as a Ginsu True-to-the-heart brother as sure as the wind blew Hit the stage with a band and rip up a venue He could be the artist or play the manager role First met you at [?] when we was at damage control Then you got your own show, still playing our music though Used to come to Third Ward and rock at your studio Lot of greats came through the door every other day Worked with 'em all from dead prez to Brother J Can't forget your positive spirit and plus I like to say What you did for the people can never be wiped away, c'mon [Chorus x2] Z, I to the N Z, I to the N Z, I to the N I'ma let the people see why you a friend [Verse 2] Every genre, facet, man you was a magnate Nobody had a problem being pulled into your dragnet Community strategist, champion, catalyst Frontline activist, bigger than some rapping sh.. All about the action, not into that cheap talk Last time I saw you, you was out at the peace walk Always shedding light so we wouldn't be lost And show nothing but love any time that we crossed Tired of [?], still doing what was necessary Legacy set 'cause you was a real visionary Job done 'cause you carried the torch you was meant to carry Your work is eternal even though your flesh was temporary Down with ya 'til the end, that's the man that we know Everyday we pray Allah bless your family, bro All Real Radio, ain't no breaking them ties Shoutout to everybody that's keeping the station alive, listen [Chorus] Z, I to the N Z, I to the N Z, I to the N I'ma let the people see why you a friend [Verse 3] When I think about the homie, can't lie, it's sorta sad Can't speak for everybody but I never saw him mad Glad to know that you was on our team in this fight Every dream in your sight, you would work to bring it to light One of the few that really knew what unity means Picking up trash, keeping the community clean You was rare 'cause most of these other rappers be scared One of the few artists in the city who actually cared The loss is still real, hard for people to handle I learned something every time I heard you speak on the panel Can't believe you ain't around no more, but then again But we gon' always rep for Z.I.N., c'mon [Chorus x3] Z, I to the N Z, I to the N Z, I to the N I'ma let the people see why you a friend
