Zebra is a powerful song that reflects the duality of life in the ghetto, embracing both the good and the bad. With vivid imagery and raw lyrics, Young Thug paints a picture of the contrasting realities of street life, represented by the black and white stripes of a zebra. The upbeat tempo juxtaposes the harsh themes, creating a compelling anthem for resilience and hope amidst adversity.
Intro:
Yeah, yeah, ha, ha,
Zebra stripes, livin' life, let's go!
Verse 1:
I came from the bottom, you know it ain't easy,
Black nights, white dreams, yeah, tell 'em we greedy,
Dark alleys flashin' lights, gotta hustle, believe me,
Good vibes on my mind, but this life ain't so breezy.
Chorus:
Zebra, black and white, that's the life that we live,
Good times, bad times, gotta learn how to give,
In the ghetto where we struggle, yeah, they know how we vibe,
Hope and pain mixed together, just to stay alive.
Verse 2:
Shootouts on the corner while the kids playin' ball,
Mama prayin' every night, just hopin' we don't fall,
Life's a game of chess, we just tryna make a move,
Dodgin' all the snakes, man, gotta stay in the groove.
Chorus:
Zebra, black and white, that's the life that we live,
Good times, bad times, gotta learn how to give,
In the ghetto where we struggle, yeah, they know how we vibe,
Hope and pain mixed together, just to stay alive.
Bridge:
Yeah, it’s dark but there's a light,
We pushin' through the night,
Every battle, every fight,
Zebra stripes guide my sight.
Verse 3:
Countin' blessings while we stressin', that's the game that we play,
Hardships build the heart, gotta carry that weight,
Livin' for the moment, I ain’t waitin’ for fate,
From the ghetto to the throne, watch me elevate.
Chorus:
Zebra, black and white, that's the life that we live,
Good times, bad times, gotta learn how to give,
In the ghetto where we struggle, yeah, they know how we vibe,
Hope and pain mixed together, just to stay alive.
Outro:
Zebra stripes, yeah, we livin' in the blend,
Through the darkness and the light, we gon' rise 'til the end.
Young Thug, baby, know we never pretend,
In this life, we adapt, gotta make it transcendent.
