Denzel Curry Zatoichi

“Zatoichi” is the second single from Denzel Curry’s fifth studio album Melt My Eyez, See Your Future. On the track, Denzel and UK rapper slowthai paint a journey through a similar, desolate landscape to that described on the album’s first single, “Walkin.”

The track is named after the Japanese film and TV character Zatoichi, the longest-running action character in Japanese modern media, first created in 1962 with the latest instalment in the character’s multiple series coming in 2010. Zatoichi is a blind man, fitting with Denzel’s album title, and a skilled, lone swordsman, fitting with the lyrical themes that Denzel has described on the first two singles from the record.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Denzel Curry]
In a place where we could hardly survive and barely could thrive
My only focus stayin’ alive, like zombies revived
The second comin’, I have arrived, I’m reenergized
I’m Zatoichi leadin’ the blind, pressure get applied
They cut my niggas down in their prime, callin’ father time
To turn back all the clocks but he still stuck on another line
I tried to crack a smile and still a frown follows right behind
Excruciating pain like Bane breakin’ Bruce Wayne’s spine

[Chorus: slowthai]
Life is short like a dwarf, fuck the world, intercourse
Life’s a bitch, no remorse, God forbid we get divorced
Droppin’ bars like a stork, flyin’ from a prison fort
Fuck a Benz, fuck a Porsche, say my name, I teleport
Life is short like a dwarf, fuck the world, intercourse
Life’s a bitch, no remorse, God forbid we get divorced
Droppin’ bars like a stork, flyin’ from a prison fort
Fuck a Benz, fuck a Porsche, say my name, I teleport

[Verse 2: Denzel Curry]
In a place where they keep feedin’ me lies, where my true demise
United once the powers combine, the world will be fine
Bulimic throwing up the peace sign, see we can all dine
Man, I ain’t woke, I’m just sleep-deprived, I been sick and tired
So be aware or gimme your eyes, inclined to be wise
Don’t let the three-six turn to a nine, wait, let me rewind
Don’t let the three-six hypnotize minds, so God is my guide
This pen’s a mighty sword on my side, my voice could crack skies
Create a code amongst the black lives, make sure it’s archived
Then go to every hood on this side where they can see crime
And let them know that we can’t recline, they planned our decline
Before you get the logic and theory, I’ll say, “Whattup slime?”
I’m Zatoichi leadin’ the blind, pressure get applied
They cut my niggas down in their prime, callin’ Father Time
To turn back all the clocks but he still stuck on another line
I tried to crack a smile and still a frown follows right behind

[Chorus: slowthai]
Life is short like a dwarf, fuck the world, intercourse
Life’s a bitch, no remorse, God forbid we get divorced
Droppin’ bars like a stork, flyin’ from a prison fort
Fuck a Benz, fuck a Porsche, say my name, I teleport
Life is short like a dwarf, fuck the world, intercourse
Life’s a bitch, no remorse, God forbid we get divorced
Droppin’ bars like a stork, flyin’ from a prison fort
Fuck a Benz, fuck a Porsche, say my name, I teleport

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oooh
