Z (named zed /ˈzɛd/ or zee /ˈziː/) is the twenty-sixth and final letter of the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
In most dialects of English, the letter's name is zed /ˈzɛd/, reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta, but in American English, its name is zee /ˈziː/, deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form.
Another English dialectal form is izzard /ˈɪzərd/. It dates from the mid-18th century and probably derives from Occitan izèda or the French ézed, whose reconstructed Latin form would be *idzēta, perhaps a popular form with a prosthetic vowel.
Other languages spell the letter's name in a similar way: zeta in Italian, Spanish and Icelandic, zäta in Swedish, zet in Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Czech, zæt in Danish, zett in Norwegian and German, zède in French, and zê in Portuguese.
Several languages lacking the /z/ phoneme render it as /ts/, e.g. zeta /tsetɑ/ or /tset/ in Finnish. In Mandarin Chinese pinyin the name of the letter Z is pronounced [tsɨ], although the English zed and zee have become very common.

Motha fuckers wanna kill me but don't got the heart
To look me in the eyes with the nine and spark
Cause whether your for or against this
When I spit with murderous intentions, everybody goes everybody knows
The weapons I possess they not for show
And you put dresses on your weapons when you walk out the door
See once I flash mother fuckers better do the one shot dash
Or be one shot ass

Niggas dying cause they know I spit like iron, nothing but bark flyin
Flows and mics, hell and night, go together like heaven and light
Niggas ain't seein my plight, It's alright

I bet it all I can throw a hard four in the dice
Cause I'm a gambling man, you should gamble with a gat in your hand
Spin in barrel and put it to your head

Dedicated to giving you nothing but thug shit

77 years
star wars and jaws
star wars and jaws
star wars and jaws
where'd you go star wars and jaws - yo
wasn't that with all the double-teeth yo's jaws
I've got your face burned in my head
From the first night we met
You were lost, twenty-two, tired of it all
Eyes like stop on black holes
I was living alone
The world went by down below
Through the window I watched it all
You've been here seven years clothes on the floor
Shadows crawling along the walls
Reminisce reticence learn to move on
Without you 'I would be' is gone
Try or fail to forgive
Nothing left to relive
I watch your black hair blow in the wind
Can we love again?
Do you feel a thing?
Will you take my hand?
I want to live again
In your eyes I see the sky go gray
Looking down as I say
'give me one more day'
In the distance I hear the rain
Fall
Fall
Baby, baby, can't you see that I'm smilin'?
Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new?
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hidin'
But now it comes through
Deep in my heart
That's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart
I will remember you
All my lovely life I been waitin'
Hot heels anticipatin'
Another love I found
Not to let it down, down
Deep in my heart
That's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart
I will remember you
Baby, baby, can't you see that I'm smilin'?
Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new?
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hidin'
But now it comes through
Now it comes through, comes through to you
Chinese food and your sleeping back
We're born-again losers
It's funny
Honey, you know, this is not so bad
Hanging around, wired for sound
It's funny and sad and it's true
I'm aching, aching for you
We carry an island around on our backs
We're born-again vagrants
It's funny
And we ask for nothing whenever we land
Meanwhile, we got something, isn't that something?
It's funny and sad and it's true
I'm aching, aching for you
Wailing in the garage
Breaking all the rulez and I don't need you
You know you're truly bizarre
You're changing all the rules and I don't need you
But I want you bad
We're all I ever had
Love is a needle, goes all the way down
I'm always surprised
It's funny
So shoot me a roll of your best paradise
It's so pretty I just want to die
It's funny and sad and it's true
I'm aching, aching for you
It's funny and sad and it's true
I'm aching, aching for you
