Ventilation Lyrics

Where tears fall, the spirit rises

The split between you're emotions

And your sanity is how you cope with it

I don't do therapy

I just get on this mic and talk

That's the only way I know how to cope, yea

I made a promise to myself that I would

Make it happen, was never acting

Ain't no Terry Crews or Janet Jackson

While niggas yapping

I'm making moves, discussing different views

To up a fraction

And get a piece of the pie

While the circle round me subtracting

Was never tryna be cool

Or just do the shit for reactions

I never wanted the fame

But I guess this shit is a package

A lot baggage for little respect

And a lot of malice

Got women in Houston

Shawty gon' text us when we in Dallas

No time for celebration, no hesitation

In my mind I'm feeling separation

Been broken down, I'm needing reparation

The type of feeling that you get

When niggas say you're trash

And the bitches say you won't make it

Now I pop my shit to make a statement, damn

Sometimes I'm cool, but still need ventilation

That's why I sanction how I'm feeling

Fuck the system and the integration

Its only me in this bitch for real

Honestly, over the beef

I cut the talk in the streets

Won't be the generous one

She been more Ellen than me

Helen Keller, writing on some shit

That they can't even see

Sing a catchy hook and drop the shit

Call it catch n release

Had to let these women off my line

Throw em back to the sea

Alphabetically, they end up coming

On top of the D

This shit aint rated E

But I gotta see how all these niggas

Talking bout moving 'round with a K

And hit deck with a breeze

Rather deck my halls and all my ice

Way before it's the eve

Once I get this shit together

Might book a flight to Belize

Women faking love to see what

They can get serviced from me

Play getting out of line baby

I'll put it back in between

Niggas wanna rat

Because they always been lacking the cheese

I'll put more tax on these niggas heads

Than a bulletin sheet

Bro got the hollow tip fully

AR attached to the beam

That's why niggas know to second guess

When they check in with me

I finally get the message

I feel like I'm overly disrespected

Well that just means I'm out here working

They feel neglected

How the hell you feel

Entitled to compensation?

When I was just tryna make it

And you won't pick up the phone for a second

They gon' be like "Damn Riq

I wish I would've known

Promise that I would've answered

If you would've let me know that shit before".

Now I'm like "Fuck it, check the two tone".

And check yo bitch when R3tro drop

She'll make that coochie pop

To hear my new songs

Let my actions talk

Cause I prefer to say less

Out my state

I need the most credit like I'm amex

I had a couple fuck ups on the way

But I don't keep regrets

Difference is with me

I'm really bout the shit I rap

Don't gotta fake for press

Parlay a band, you spend a buck with me

And I can make your biggest fantasy

A reality if you fuck with me

I call her Elmer's, cause she stuck to me

Girls in your sorority been tryna hit my line

To get one up with me

Praying God, hold the pain

I know the storms gon' come once again

Just hold my hand and walk me

Through the rain

The fire, feel it burning through my veins

We'll all find a way
