The Vent

[Intro: Grandpa's voicemail]
Damien, happy birthday, Grandpa and Grandma. Wish you a very blessed day. When you get time just call, okay? Have a blessed day

[Intro]
Rest in peace, Grandpa

[Verse 1]
Always wanting what I can't have, always wanting what I don't need
Wondering about my true friends, always looking but I don't see
(No no no)
Maybe I'm too hard on myself, nah, fuck that I ain't hard enough
I been searching for the answers, maybe Iain't searching far enough
(No no no)
I'm checking emails more than texts (blessed)
I can't believe that I'm really here
Gotta be ready for whatever's next (yes)
Cause Lord forbid that I'll still be here
But I can't lie and say it don't make me nervous
Time don't wait for you to find your purpose
Go hard or home, can't scratch the surface
Sorry, Ma I'll never be them docs or nurses
Sorry Pops that I'll never be them Ques in purple
I'm still an OG, exclusive circle, I really need to roll some herbals
I know I'm being blunt and verbal, it's cause I been down some
And I got some D'usse and uhh, maybe we can down some?

[Chorus]
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something

[Verse 2]
Man where did all the jobs go? I can't seem to find shit
And I keep putting good music out but I still ain't signed shit
And my brother still ain't called me, guess he somewhere in Army
That's just what I tell myself cause my thoughts can harm me
Just got a degree, but I don't really know what to do with it
And I'm tryna be more about me
That insecure shit I'm through wit it (I'm cool with it)
But I guess I gotta acknowledge it
Man the funny thing bout this college shit
Is that it put me back on this music shit
And I still just ain't got tired of it
But, I'm running out of time now, either Ima be dull or shine now
I'm approaching my prime now, no longer can I hide now
And I'm alive now but I just need more time now
Just stick around now and it'll be just fine now
Tryna suppress these dark emotions
College grad going through the motions (the motions)
I guess I got comfortable with the commotion
I know I'm being blunt and open, it's cause I been down some
Got a little more D'usse and uhh, maybe we can down some?

[Chorus]
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something

[Bridge]
I need to vent, I been drinking (Oh I)
You don't know what I been thinking (Oh I)
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something

Damn, you feel that?

I'm running out of time now, either Ima be dull or shine now
I'm approaching my prime now, no longer can I hide now
And I'm alive now but I just need more time now
Just stick around now and it'll be just fine now

[Chorus]
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something
I need to vent, I been drinking
Too much, my ship has been sinking
Let's just get lit for no reason
I need to feel a lil' something

[Grandma's voicemail]
We all are in your corner, and we're just so proud of you, we don't know what to do. Just keep up the good work so you may go further, so we can just.... Oh, we're so proud of you now we can't, we, we just wait to see what else gone come out. Love you, bye-bye. Granny

[Grandpa recording]
...You just have to hold onto something, so you'll have something down the road. Not that you waiting on, say "oh, I'm waiting on him to kick...." You just have something down the road, that's the way you do things. See, you just have to have a little insurance, 10 thousand, 20 thousand, save it to divide it to all your people like that. You do your whole family like that, see...
