Artiste : Aesop Rock
Titre : Snail Zero
My lady moved in, I picked her up a gift
A miniature aquarium and trip to get some fish
Three Green Tetras, one Scarlet Badis
And a touch of plant life, some live, some plastic

Got the stuff home, put it in the tank
Everyone is thriving, it´s a lively little gang
A few weeks pass, when plain and clear
I hear, "Oh my God, there´s a snail in here!"
What? I feel as if she´s gotta be mistaken
As we do not have a snail, granted, she knows what a snail is
I make my way over, and position for the glare
I´m looking at a snail that wasn´t previously there
Hmm, I feel I´m being pranked
But if magic is the reason, then really, I think it´s great
My girl on her computer reading animal facts
"A snail egg can hitch a ride into your tank on a plant"
You motherfucker

But wait, there´s more

I´m looking at the snail, he seems pretty pleasant
We figure let him kick it, as honestly, shit´s impressive
A couple weeks pass, I hear another gasp
Seven more snails have appeared on the glass
How? Determined to identify the guests
When I stumble on a column of common invasive pests
And boom, the number one offender on the pile
The Bladder Snail, known to stowaway and multiply
Motherfucker
Plus a self-compatible hermaphrodite
That means the kids´ll never have to hear the parents fight
We went away for a week, came home to a scene

Snail population up in the teens
This was weeks ago already
It´s been getting extreme
We are well over thirty, but murder isn´t my thing
While the fish have been patient, the situation´s a bummer
They be staring at the snails, then, staring at each other like
These motherfuckers

But wait, there´s more

I figure, "Let ´em kick it"
I figure, "Let ´em kick it"
I figure, "Let ´em kick it"
I figure, "Let ´em kick it"
I figure, "Let ´em kick it"

Folk tell the kiddo, "Oh, I think I´m missing some info
Just clean the tank and throw the fucking snails out the window"
Look, I guess I don´t know how to shut the door
When snail zero´s been here as long as the other four
I get the reputation as a blight on the tank
But I ain´t shoveling ´em out of what they rightfully claim
Even if I was able to one day snag ´em and bail
Exactly fuck I´m supposed to do with a bagful of snails?
"Oh here comes crazy old Aes-y, holding his bagful of snails
He also bark at the traffic and drink his Tab from a grail"

Not doing it, I love those fish
I love those snails, coexist
I think about the day it eventually overflows
And fills the whole apartment, then fills the whole of Rome
A reckoning is upon us, a decision must prevail
A sensible re-homing or
Snails!
