Oakland, CA emcee Zion I presents "Back To Life", his new single out now on Boddhisattva Music. Zion trades bars with fellow Bay Area emcee Deuce Eclipse over a track produced by California beatsmith Vinroc. Zion I has brought his brand of conscious genre-blending hiphop to over two dozen releases spanning two decades, collaborating with the likes of Linkin Park and Black Thought and K. Flay, and performing at Coachella and Rock The Bells. "Back To Life" comes on the heels of Zion's previous single "2 Eyes". He says his new song "signals the emergence from pandemic life to some degree of 'regular' existence. As artists we thrive from interacting and being inspired by one another, so this is an important process in staying connected to who we are."
00:09 We rollin
00:11 control it
00:12 press up on the gas, brake, go in
00:15 chasing after wind, where my soul is
00:17 so I’m the hurricane
00:18 rain and I’m blowing
00:20 Bruce Leroy
00:21 I’m the last b-boy
00:22 in between art nerd and a d-boy
00:25 boy, I’m back to life
00:26 watch the cobra strike
00:27 I’ve been on my light path
00:28 blast this the afterlife
00:30 I been going hard
00:31 scarred from the boulevard
00:32 avenue, street, block
00:34 Vin makes the beat knock
00:35 high as a tree top
00:36 redwoods in the hood
00:37 rudebwoy dreadlock
00:39 make sure it’s all good
00:40 cuz I’m coming back
00:41 rise, call him Lazarus
00:42 contact is hazardous
00:44 spaz when I’m grabbing this
00:45 loose Ginsu
00:46 frozen in my igloo
00:47 sunrays wake em bake em, follow what ya kin do
00:50 Put my struggle on a pillow
00:51 Catch me in R.E.M.
00:53 When I wake it’s just another form of meditation
00:55 When you’re weeping like a willow
00:56 You’re God’s creation
00:57 All I am is another you
00:59 And now we have a nation
01:00 Back to Life
01:01 Back to Life
01:03 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
01:05 Back to Life
01:06 Back to Life
01:08 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
01:10 Break the tension
01:11 The needle is on fire, close my eyes I sink in
01:14 Too cold to hold
01:15 Icy, spicy
01:16 It’s the only way I’m thinking
01:18 Breathing in the humo
01:19 Stompin’ like a sumo
01:20 Crooked eyes that ain’t got no life, Here’s a puno
01:23 Nuff tracks for my gente
01:24 Spittin’ it through my dientes, get it live like relentless
01:26 Alive till it’s endless
01:28 Keep the wick lit
01:29 Keep it on like John
01:30 And peep the hip shit that’s been alive for so long
01:33 The stars hold the path everyday I choose to walk
01:35 We are the lights upon a journey so don’t ever think you’re lost
01:38 Learning is the key, knowledge of self is the boss
01:40 We push it till it moves like an avalanche
01:43 A needle in a groove helped a lot of champs
01:46 We write the kinda letters that don’t need a stamp
01:48 Keep a fire high like a little boy at camp
01:51 Put my struggle on a pillow
01:52 Catch me in R.E.M.
01:53 When I wake it’s just another form of meditation
01:55 When you’re weeping like a willow
01:57 You’re God’s creation
01:58 All I am is another you
01:59 And now we have a nation
02:01 Put my struggle on a pillow
02:02 Catch me in R.E.M.
02:03 When I wake it’s just another form of meditation
02:05 When you’re weeping like a willow
02:07 You’re God’s creation
02:08 All I am is another you
02:09 And now we have a nation
02:11 Back to Life
02:12 Back to Life
02:13 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
02:16 Back to Life
02:17 Back to Life
02:18 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
02:21 Back to Life
02:22 Back to Life
02:23 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
02:26 Back to Life
02:27 Back to Life
02:28 I been doin’ alright, bring it Back to Life
