lyrics

Day to day in my life
You know I stay on the grind
With hot producers
Find a place for my rhymes
And that’s how I met Zero
My partner in crime
On the new collab
Trading online
One night on my way to Savannah
Hey you live in Atlanta, right?
What say we link up i.r.l.
When I arrived
The whole house was kind of dark
When he greeted me
I couldn’t ignore a harsh smell
Didn’t point it out
I didn’t want to be rude
He said I got a new beat
For you to listen to
He played it
It was fire so I laced it
High fives then I asked
Where is your pissing room?
On the way to the john
I saw a door cracked
Weird lights were flickering
So I went to peek
But as soon as I
Stepped to the room
I felt a hand on my shoulder
Yo Cool why you sneaking?
It was Zero
He explained that his roommate
Was not to be disturbed
I said sorry I was curious
He said in fact
You better hit the road Zach
Because if we keep going late
My roommate will be furious
So I took a leak
Gave a pound then I left
Drove a few miles
Then I went for my cigarettes
Oh crap I forgot my backpack
Turned around and called Zero
Let him know I was coming back

I sent a text
I hit him on messenger
Arrived back and knocked on the door
But no answer
I had to have my bag to do my shows
If I didn’t have my gear
Then it would’ve blown the whole tour
I tried the doorknob it was unlocked
Stepped in then I crept in through the dark
I snagged my sack from the stu
But on my way back through
I saw the flickering lights and I stopped
Something was compelling me
To see what lied behind the door
And as I approached the smell was sickening
Slowly I pushed the door open
And what I saw there
Made my heart start quickening
There was a body surrounded by candles
In the middle of the floor
In the center of a pentagram
I hit the flashlight button on my phone
And I aimed it at the face
Oh my god it was him

I don’t know how to tell you this but
Zero’s dead
That guy you been talking to online
Is no longer with us
Only in spirit
I know you don’t want to hear it but
I know you don’t want to believe me but
Zero’s dead
I saw it with my own eyes
Body decomposing mouth open no pulse
There was nobody else
I’ve been collabing with his ghost

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa

Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
