Zombie Lyrics
[Intro: Tedashii]
Say blessed, say blessed, say blessed, yeah
[Chorus: Lecrae]
I was like a zombie, 'til I was awakened
Chasin' all the barbies, tryna get the bacon
Pull up in a new toy, feelin' like a rude boy
Always acting brazy but my heart felt like a chew toy (Chew toy)
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Runnin' with my dogs, catchin' plays (Catchin' plays)
Take you on a trip down memory lane (Memory lane)
Pullin' pistols (Pistols), stealin' momma's liquor (Liquor)
Seventeen, I think I fell in love with a stripper (Bah)
Snortin', sippin', smokin' 'til I'm blown away (I'm blown away)
Granny told me, "Wait on God, He on the way" (On the way)
Walkin' dead, I'm on a ledge and praying I don't fall off
Spirit interferin', now the new me 'bout to go off in the dark, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Lecrae]
I was in the dark, I swear you couldn't tell me nothing (Nothing)
I was after flesh, I guess I was some type of zombie (Zombie)
Demons used to haunt me (Haunt me)
Then I heard the voice of God, I'm grateful Jesus called me
[Chorus: Lecrae, Taylor Hill, Both]
I was like a zombie, 'til I was awakened
Chasin' all the barbies, tryna get the bacon
Pull up in a new toy, feelin' like a rude boy
Always acting brazy but my heart felt like a chew toy
I was like a zombie
Zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie (Oh)
I was like a zombie
Zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
It was dark deep within my heart, wasn't livin' (My heart wasn't livin')
Momma stressed thinkin' I was next, they gon' get him (Next, they gon' get him)
Coulda died, coulda slipped, yeah
Took a ride to the pen, yeah
Granny prayers had it lit, yeah
Aunt Shirley said I was gifted
Runnin' 'round with my slimes (Slimes)
Throwin' up my gang signs (Signs)
Police came to arrest me
Blockin' all of my blessings
Hit the club, shorty told me I was young but
I told her I'ma need a babysitter if she want to
[Pre-Chorus: Lecrae]
I was in the dark, yeah (Dark)
I was in the dark, I swear you couldn't tell me nothing (Nothing)
I was after flesh, I guess I was some type of zombie (Zombie)
Demons used to haunt me (Haunt me)
Then I heard the voice of God, I'm grateful Jesus called me
[Chorus: Lecrae, Taylor Hill, Both]
I was like a zombie, 'til I was awakened
Chasin' all the barbies, tryna get the bacon
Pull up in a new toy, feelin' like a rude boy
Always acting brazy but my heart feel like a chew toy
I was like a zombie
Zombie (Zombie), zombie
Zombie, zombie
I was like a zombie
Zombie (Zombie), zombie
Zombie, zombie

What has Taylor Hill said about the song?
For everyone who’s been on this journey with me, you know that this song has been in the works for almost 4 years. I’m so glad that Lecrae gave it a home, and made it his own!

What did Lecrae say about "Zombie"?
Lecrae spoke about the inspiration for the song and the music video in a question and answer session he posted on YouTube:
What else has the artists said about the song?
It’s comical in sound. It’s fun. But it’s such a serious topic. It’s like, ‘I was like a zombie. I was just chasing after the money, the cars, the women, gold, girls, and glory,’ like we always say. Then you have your spiritual awakening and you’re like, ‘There’s so much more to life than these thin...
