The Vent

A mother lost her child, I tried to ease her pain

It's only God's will, she said she felt the same

It's funny how the sun will up and battle rain

As if the clouds couldn't stand to see me outside again

Wrote a rhyme that was kind with some vision to it

Bottom line, it might expand your mind if you listen to it

Too much shine can dull the soul

If you feel how I feel, then I rap some more

How can the Devil take my brother if he's close to me?

When he was everything I wasn't, but I hoped to be

I get a little honest and I ask myself

If the time come, will you save me if I ask for help?

Sent my mind on a journey to the outermost

To document what it had seen and CC me the notes

And ask Kurt Cobain, why? 'Cause I need to know

He stopped when he had such a long way to go

I saw love in the eyes of a perfect stranger

She overlooked my carin' heart in search of a gangster

Will we ever be together? Only time will tell

She called my phone and talked to me as her eye would swell

I put my problems in a box beside my tightest rhymes

Under lock and key, buried deep off in my mind

And when it gets too full and I can't close the lid

I spazz on my family and my closest friends

Trade my materials for a peace of mind

I'm so close to Heaven, hell, I just need some time

Who cares about life and the highs and lows?

Maybe I should write another song about pimps and hoes

Cars and clothes, idol, gods

Golden calves, Louis scarves

I do this for the love and it's free of charge

I don't need jail to be behind bars

This is purely art

In my grandma's household this was surely taught

Don't be naive, yeah, these time's is hard

In the midst of all the glamour, hope you find God

I never wished to be the burden bearer

But souls need savin' and it's now or never

Shock value's all they wanna see

It's us against them and it's just you and me

Tryna take heed what I say in my songs

Forgive me if I ever, ever steered you wrong

Most people stop for signs, but I've driven through it

If it don't touch my soul, then I can't listen to it

The radio don't play the shit I used to love

Or maybe I'm just growin' up

I never seen a star on a red rug

If I wanna see stars, I just look above

To the Heavens

I know you've been down so long

So I'll be stronger for you

I know you've been down so long

'Cause I've been down too

Yes, I understand

What you're goin' through

Yes, I understand

'Cause I'm goin' through it too

I pray that you find your way

And all things old become new

I pray that you find your way

For my sake 'cause I'm lost too

Yes, I understand

What you're goin' through

Yes, I understand

'Cause I'm goin' through it too

I lost my friend this mornin'

Woke up screamin' her name

She meant so much to me

I'm scared I won't be the same

Hope you understand

What I'm goin' through

Hope you understand

When I call out for you

To vent
