ZP Ratik - Wrong Direction (Early Access w/ Lyrics)
What’s good everyone? This week we have a treat from ZP Ratik. The Reno, NV artist sent The Weather Watcher an early preview of his upcoming single “Wrong Direction” which drops Friday, June 18th (that’s tonight 9pm PST). Although this record is not quite released (at the time of this writing), it is definitely one to get ready for. ZP has been blessing his fans with nonstop music all of the first half of 2021.
In this single, ZP addresses the doubters and haters who do not respect the grind. ZP has accomplished a lot in the last couple years as an independent artists. He notices the people who are changing around him. More people are coming around and trying to show fake love. He stays weary of those who weren’t there since day 1. Now that things are panning out and his growth is evident, people want to borrow from that. The users, who only want what you can do for them.
They notice the ground work that you set and laid out for them to benefit off of it. If you don’t cut these people off and give them access to you then you’ll quickly diminish. ZP has come far in his journey and is recognizing his worth. Now that he respects his value, his price and expectations are elevated. This translates to the relationships in his life. He is not perfect but he is no longer compromising. Kendrick said it best, “I can’t fake humble just cause your ass is insecure.”
ZP talks that big shit cause he can back it up with this rap shit. Another perfect record for those who are dedicated on their craft and focused on their path. They don’t make too many life ZP in this world. The internal and external conflicts that come with this lifestyle can take its toll. However, ZP has been the type to bounce back and roll with any punches thrown at him. Take notes and read the lyrics from his upcoming single down below.

(Hook 2x)
I don’t want wrong direction, I don’t wanna fail today.
I wanna be somebody, I wanna mean something.
I got bills to pay, and I got things to say.
I don’t want wrong direction, I don’t wanna fail today.
(Verse One)
Another day another dollar.
Tired of waking with problems.
I’ve been shaky and nauseous.
Share all the favors and profit.
Just to be judged and told I should stop it.
I don’t know why they be talking.
When I’ve been doing most of the walking.
I gotta constantly listen to nonsense.
I look around but I’m seeing no contest.
Why would I listen to someone who’s done less?
Or sacrifice sleep just to work less.
I got nobody to impress.
But I’m working like opinions mean shit.
Anybody could jump ship.
I’ve felt alone since the jump bitch.
I got way more to get done quick.
So I ain’t using my funds for no fun shit.
[Hook Repeats]
(Verse Two)
I wanna get all my paper up.
Bleed for that shit like a paper cut.
These rappers weaker than paper cups.
They ain’t did shit but want favors, huh?
I don’t care if you my neighbor, naw.
It’s all for my own and the people I got.
Pardon my tone, I ain’t sleeping a lot.
Either writing these songs or I’m lost in my thoughts.
Guarding my soul, I’ve been hurt like a lot. I hurt like a lot
Of people that gave me they number 1 spot.
I’m sorry, forgive you returning the favor, I got what I got.
In my life, I’ve been lost but I never exhaust.
And I’ve seen what I’m not,
with my stomach in knots.
I’ve taken each shot, like if I were to miss.
Then it’s not gonna pop, not gonna pop.
