Quez Cantrell - Vent Lyrics

Got laid off of my job today
I feel like I can really dream
To be honest
Shit I feel like I can finally breathe
Sitting somewhere you don't belong
Is meant to stop your dreams
Unblocked the barrier
Now what the fuck is stopping me?

Thought I had security
Found out that it's obsolete
False sense of elevation
Found out about gravity
Man meets world
More like this world meeting me
Got my own Topanga
Time to Tap into my tapestry

Finally made thru the blocks
Now I'm cutting Loose
The way the bet is in
You would think the bus loose
Barely got trust in myself
So How I'm trusting you?
Barely found love in myself
So how I'm

If I feel it in my heart
You know Ima sing on it
In Love with my baby momma
Time to put a ring
Got a daughter to protect
I can't lose a thing homie
Bought it stock
Copped a longer clip
And put a beam on it

Disappointment And disbelief
Don't come with dreams only
You get long nights
And longer nights
Can't even sleep on it
Insomnia type of shit
That's what help Me decode it
Seeing numbers
Shit been adding up
Providing these quotients

Withdrawals was killing me
I switched to deposits
It don't match
Having full closets
And empty pockets
Down to your last
But you Trying to deadstock it
They pay billions for marketing
Came home with dead profit

How Bloods filled the streets
Turned forces to red bottoms
Officiate my art
And you meet Rasheed Wallace
Put a band on your Fro
Yea You match Ben Wallace
Ain't no rebounding these shots
And I'm just being honest

Eating and sitting
We Killing our selves for a pension
Might as well grab the shovel
Ourselves and start digging
401k and PTO make us think
Getting it
Til' the company decides
Your existence expensive

Multiple meanings
When I say that I was in trenches
Always a starter
So I never watched from a distance
If it's a splinter
Then I didn't get mine from the benches
It's more probable
I went got mine from them fences

Probably running from a dog
Can't let Kujo get me
Stand tall for the mob
Like my name Kujo Goodie
Pops told me
Ain't no second thoughts if you pull it
It's only right to Win the draw
Competition a bullet

And it hurt to take the L
It's like owing a bookie
Haven in my imagination
The places it took me
For the paper niggas sprinted
Didn't think about distance
I knew longevity
Would put me right there with it

One word they use to describe me
They tell me I'm different
Ask the people that I love
And They'll tell you I'm distant
I was dealing with some trauma Disorders
Attention deficits
Definitely
Got me as helpless as victims

But I don't wanna a damn thing
I just want to be free
I just want some liberation
Wanna finally meet me
All these vivid memories
I Remind in hd
Might remember last decade
And Forget bout last week

I remember scarce times
Now abundance what I seek
I been shadow boxing fears
They won't ever last me
If Gods gives his hardest battles
To his toughest soldiers
I feel like I'm battling myself on a poster

Fall from grace
Didn't know how bad it hurt
You can hear it in my tone
I'm rapping like this shit gotta work
I ain't gotta sell, I am it
This shit got the works
And I can lean in on my skill set
Always got some work

I got the gift
Rapping like ain't got nothing Left
But the left will never know
Cause the right will never tell
Ima say a prayer for the product
I hope we prevail
Ima put it out for sell
That's the way you trust the scale

Good thing I believe in me
I see everything
That they never seen in me
Can be everything
That they never dreamed I'd be
A blank slate with plenty knowledge
But no seed money

Watch I run it back
Back run it
2 barrels
Like I'm duck hunting
Duck something, coming
Gotta go get it if you want something
You can attract it to yourself if you know somethings coming
Then know somethings coming

I Won't speak up on no details
You know I undersell it
Until that statute meet a limit
No one did it how I did it
Need a statue in my city
When the pigs got no justice
Ima speak up for the pigment

Just to be black And make it here
Know you relentless
I hope you learn the history
For the paper
They gone Pimp you
Keep it 100 got to Know you mint condition
Cause you got something in you
That they ain't got in them
