Let Me Vent

Well you know, sometimes you gotta get some things off your chest
Paul Wind on the beat

All my dad really taught me is doin my thing when I was growin up
Cause he sure enough
Did his thing never showin up
It made me soft as a child but my losses made me tough
When I went psychotic and I was flowin to my beats
Another crazy dude said I had skills but my my flow was off beat
That made me go extra hard
Cause if a man that's out his mind is givin me tips I take the lesson on
Craziness can do magic for a rapper dawg
I used to do a lot of work on my body
Tryin to compensate my lack of confidence with firmer muscles
Now I got back to rhymin for hours
Memorizing my verses for parties
I want this to be my work not my hobby
So, I come prepared when I show up on stage cause this is personal for me
I can't stand derogatory rhymes
And raps that wanna cut you down a size
I know I once used some in mine but the Bible taught me I was blind

Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head
Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head

It's crazy how some think
They gotta correct me when I tell 'em my middle name
As if they knew a better way
To pronounce it so they say it different
As if they ain't listenin
I can't stand it when they expect you to smile all the time
I won't flinch a muscle to fake nothin I'm genuine all the time
In my rhymes I don't lie
It's hard to deal with buzzkills
People that'll look for anything to complain about just to start ish
And I hate it when you can't come real
Even a dime ain't worth it if the drama outweighs her appeal
So I'm a say what I feel
If you ain't real
Listen truth ain't always pretty but I rather have you rude than two faced
I rather have you rude than two faced
Cause the truth is always gonna come to the surface
So come unmasked like a bald dude without a toupee
Or a businessman without a suit on just to prove wealth

Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head
Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head

Some people probably get me messed up
Thinkin I live the fabulous life since one of my EP's called
Island Life but I was just there for a temp job
I got to hear backbitin
And racist remarks like Mike Brown ain't white and
So it don't really matter he got killed but I ain't smilin
A lot of my bosses took advantage of their position
Pickin on every little thing I didn't do right
Like they've been waitin to give me lib and
Some hate me cause I finished
High School and they ain't so they livid
I ain't poor so when I'm grocerie shoppin
And I currently ain't broke then I'm coppin
A whole bunch of stuff and
Yet I still feel broke cause when I looked at a fly swat
I didn't see the price on I simply left it in the isle dawg
That's somethin that makes me laugh but dang
No master in college but I mastered stress
And now I wanna stack some cash

Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head
Let me vent
Get this mess off my chest
Let me vent
And tell you things that cause stress in my head
I won't find rest till I'm dead
Even if my rap's in the press
Only God can take this stress out my head
