[Intro: Z. SMITH]
Look, it all started with a black pen
Made my mark now I'm never lookin' back
If you talkin' that shit, we gon' put you in the past tense
Pop the trunk, I got shovels for your ass

[Verse 1: Z. SMITH]
I'll put you six feet down in a hole with no name
Sweat on my brow but my face shows no shame
Drenched in cold rain, smile with no pain
A limp in my step but I walk with no cain
Wait - all signs tell you walk away
Go Home - he is not the one you wanna see today
Mouth's quiet but your hips got a lot to say
She's movin' closer with the legs that go on for days
She wanna - be a rider like Winonah
'Cause I'm a good fella, yeah, De Niro, Ray Liota
She thinks I'm blowin' up, got the Mentos in the soda
Damnit shе ain't wrong man, fuck I swear I told ya this would happen

[Hook: Z. SMITH]
Look, it all started with a black pеn
Made my mark now I'm never lookin' back
We got - couple people searching for reactions
Keep it cool, know we only deal with facts
Odds stacked against us
But the chips on my name
What's that?
That's respect that we've gained
Now & later I look back then
Damn, it all started with a black pen
[Verse 2: Ryan Oakes]
Yo, made six figures off a black pen
Back then
Nobody that I knew thought it would happen
Back then
No bitches wanted any of the action
Now I pull up, come in peace
Send your main home in a black 'den
Ay - I pulled up in Venice
Got a room for myself suitable for ten tenants
In New York, bouncing back & forth like tennis
Hittin' every city, might as well just run for Senate
I'm the world's most like-able
Wrist on icicle
No wonder why my dick gets rode like a bicycle
Nobody expected me now women always stressin' me
Tryna get me cuffed
They wish that they were arrestin' me
(Aye) Its all facts, all facts
Wrist game too cold when the pen's all black
When I pull up, they gon' say my name in all caps
Watch the fans show love while the hate falls back, bitch
(fans show love while the hate falls back, bitch)

[Hook: Z. SMITH]

That's respect that we've gained
Now & later I look back then
Damn, it all started with a black pen
[Verse 3: Z. SMITH]
(Black pen, it all started with a black pen)
With a job on the table
And a life on the line
I can hear my digits being dialed ahead of the chime
Got a fix for someone vicious
Then my name's what you'll find
So better tell your boyfriend
It's his time to resign
Need a favor, maybe think twice
Freedom quickly turns to vice, then I get the call
Time to put your head on ice
Nice or not, this spot comes with a price
Strictly business but I find pleasure
Every night I take a life
Shit's cold but that's how we like it
Move silent, kill loud, that's respect
Never try to hide it
Advice given never taken, if you're seeking guidance
I tell you wolves eat sheep, and they don't change diets
(Yo)
Danger appeals
Take a wicked witch, get that bitch clickin' her heels
The meals taste so much better when you afford the bill
(What up) Hank & Bobby I want king of the hill
It's Z
