Ventilation Lyrics

Standing in front of this microphone Clearing my voice, can you hear me, do I need

A megaphone

For the people who don't see the things I've accomplished

And I did without leaving my legacy tarnished And most of the time I did it all on my own

It came to me in a gut feeling when I found out I was standing alone

There's a million ways I could've came out with this verse

It's a million dollars worth of gain But niggas copying, pasting, act like they

Came out with it first But I'll let you have the fame, we can play

The game for whatever it's worth All my accounts public for the people to spy

In I'm doing better than great, most of the time

I be trying to deny it My passport straight, I could really go spend

Time in the islands Who with me, I'm taking a head count, how

Many of you flying

Maybe I should rephrase that How many against me, acting like they is with

Me

How many of you is lying

Men lie, women lie, what really matters is who telling the truth

It's been most of my life since I made my last confession

I done committed more sins than I would care to mention

There's water under the bridge, I filtered it for life's lemons

It's still bitter, I might need to add sugar to take it in a little quicker

I remember when it used to be fun and times was a lot simpler

Something we used to do when we poured and sipping the liquor

Now I take shots to the head from the things that I gotta remember

I used to hold everybody up, now I move out the way when they fall while I'm yelling timber

I should put more effort into myself instead of playing the fixer

Yeah, that one

Who can I call on if I fail

A, B, C, D, I'ma go with E, the answer is none of the above

Mary J. said love no limit, but I live it, it's a limit on love

It start to fade right around the time where things get tough

It's a cold world, luckily I have bundled enough

Mama, I heard what you said when I was an adolescent

It molded me into the letter of the alphabet, it comes seventh

You said it was a cold world, but I ain't thinking get that unpleasant

It's people coming at me with knives, covering them up with presents

Stab you in the neck like they ain't do it and come back for seconds

Then when you reject it, they act like you acting different, I didn't though

It's places you took it that I ain't wanna go

It's truths that came out that I ain't wanna know

And just yesterday I was calling you bro

It's crazy names I be calling my enemies though

Used to be in my heart, used to be in my left titty

Then somewhere out the blue we developed this envy

Yeah, that one

It's crazy

They be acting like it's me though

But I know it ain't me

Yeah

Don't take this as a form of me being bitter

But my heart done got cold as the wind in the midwinter

I'm trying to have a conversation with the creator of the bigger picture

And ask him did he really sit down at the last dinner

And if we really created in God's image

Why we looking out when we all should be looking inward

Just a few things I don't know, I can't figure them out

I'm just speaking my thoughts out loud, talking while thinking out loud

Just throwing opinions around, yeah that one

Yeah, just something that's on my mind

Right

Ay

Ay

Sad eyes staring through focused pupils

Watching another one slain from sin

In the name of the savior that should rebuke you

My heart heavy, but this ain't something that we new to

Hope they give that cow everything that he deserve

He failed to protect and serve

He took the oak with his right hand in the air

Now all of a sudden you scared for your life

They say be the reason

I think by America's definition it's an act of treason

They stand on saying most policemen is decent

But so is most of the people they aiming they peace at

Oh I guess y'all don't see it like that

I guess what they see is evil and black

I think they see demons in us

They say that they not like us

And we not

Yeah that one

Ay
