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 yo 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 my self

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

Send 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 caring heart in search of a gangsta

Will we ever be together? Only time will tell

She called my phone and talk to me as her eye would swelled

I put my problems in 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 spaz on my family and my closest friends

Trade my materials for a piece 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 Cabs, Louie Scarfs

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, yea these time's is hard. In the midst of all the glamor, hope you find god

I never wished to be the burden bearer

But souls need saving and it's now or never

Shock value is all they wanna see

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

Try to 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 growing up

I never seen a star on a red rug

If I wanna see a stars I just look above

To the Heavens

I know you been down so long, So I'll be stronger for you

I know you 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.
