Venting.01 Lyrics

(Keep it on the DoLo)

Sticking to just one style always seemed so bland to me
Putting pen to paper and it's flowing like a fountain, g
A million untold stories is what they found in me
She never sent me to my room but my mom always grounded me

Reciting Em lyrics, perfecting, tryna sound like he
That's how I'd pass the time before I was a teen
Writing rhymes, I tried it, all filled with violence
Never seemed to see how to rap and keep me

Id be all
Gilitine, rip his spleen, flee the scene, leave him bleed
And if the cunt survives I'll visit his dreams
That's a taster of the bars that I was spitting, g
It don't need explaining why that shit don't fit with me

Cuz I ain't bout it, but I'm still bout the Ps
Anti guns but I'm still all bout the peace
Ain't an F or a H but I stay round the Gs
I don't live in Holby City but there's constant casualties

In the north, it was different of course
Didn't expect so many racists outside of my door
Very different to the neighbours I had before
Came from cows and sheep to wools and beef
9 year olds get asbos when they hit double digits
That's if you know this town and you live in it
Kids graduating from Frosty Jack's to spirits
And I was angry that I didn't fit in?

Thank fuck
I never identified with these mad cunts
But my guy in year 9s smoking mad blunts
And he gon' get me high tonight outside Ladbrokes
Heard about this shit in music but I'm mad shook

He finally passed the zoobie after all the waiting
Took one hit, from the taste it was blatant
Bro this is tobacco you ain't packing medication
"Don't be a gimp smoke it up and stop hating"

Man, this kid really testing my patience
But he ain't the first yout tryna build his cred by faking
Told me it was cheese but the reality is grating
Can't call man a thief when the world's mine for the taking

Other kids our age serving food but they ain't waiting
Covered in paper cuts from all the paper chasing
Started off with weed but the ones who really cake it
Say, "if you want the dough then your ass should be baking"
Damn, my mom done kept me as far from that as possible
Thank the lord ain't had to see one of my Gs in hospital
Some of their priorities i don't see how it's logical
I don't mean to get all philisophical

But if your fam don't come first, then who does
Wearing my heart on my sleeve made me lose love
If politicians grew up where we grew up
They'd see you won't cure gang culture with youth clubs

But maybe
If they cleaned up the streets and made them less shady
And supported young parents with unexpected babies
Like, you already take half before they pay me
How much of my wage do you need before its gravy?

Instead of blaming immigrants for all your short comings
How about we blame these idiots in parliament bluffing?
Lying, scheming, manipulating, theiving
Claim they're God fearing but I see through these heathens

Trans-parent no Caitlin Jenner
And don't get me started on the news, how can the weather
Be the most accurate shit that you depict
Your names a lie nothing new with the news it's all bullshit
That's their agenda
We think the sugars sweet but they've been giving us Splenda
They do their best to keep us down and out of their sector
Cuz if you get ahead they're the type to rear end ya

And I ain't no pretender I'm the type to offend ya
Smooth criminal like a hitman in a blender

I couldn't give two fucks about who I'm offending
I gotta speak my mind DoLo I'm just venting

BITCH

Said I couldn't give two fucks about who I'm offending
I gotta speak my mind DoLo I'm just venting

LiL BiTCH

(I'm just venting lil bitch, had to get some shit off my chest real quick
I'm just venting lil bitch, had to get some shit off my chest real quick
I'm just venting lil bitch, had to get some shit off my chest real quick)

But, I swear though
Keep it on the DoLo

Genius Annotation

DoLo teams up with Luchu to debut his first single “Venting.01”, the start of a series of hook-less tracks where the artist “vents” whatever is on their mind at that time. As this is DoLo’s first release, it’s rather fitting that Venting.01 is used as an introduction to the artist himself. It gives an insight into DoLo’s personality; with tongue-in-cheek anecdotes from his childhood, a look into his ethical perspective and a wacky/aesthetic music video to match! And this is only the beginning…
