rent - ve (the rapper) lyrics

rent by vé

verse 1
this beat alone costs a thousand
how am i supposed to survive when i ain’t even got enough money to pay for housing
i said this beat alone cost a thousand
and i ain’t even got enough enough money to pay for housing
that’s the challenge
i’m out here trying to find a balance
i got callous on my hands and feet
working all day in the sun hitting nails with a hammer on my hands and knees
what a process, how can i sit here and lie like i’m not stressed
my whole life i’ve been obsessed with them objects
my homie died, realized i ain’t know god yet
sometimes i’m a muslim, sometimes i’m a buddhist
lunch with the mormons, carefree like a nudist
but for all the reasons i do this, there is a bullet with my name to one up a contusion
f-ck the confusion, read plato and confucius
still don’t explain why my sister gets high
or how my cousin stopped moving
wheelchairs for gang war vets
maxxed out credit cards to gas corvettes
more rent money lost on more horse bets
momma like “did you do your ch0r-s yet?” f-ck that!
i’m trying to avoid the bullsh-t
with all the addition of traditions
i just wanna dodge the addictions and evictions
minor setbacks from major frictions
sh-t i made pick when i frayed the tension
became invictus and displayed conviction
even burned some incense, changed my sixth sense
in a world where you ain’t sh-t, i’m just trying to make rent

chorus
and this beat alone costs a thousand
how am i supposed to survive when i ain’t even got enough money to pay for housing
that’s the challenge
i said this beat alone cost a thousand
and how am i supposed to survive when i ain’t even got enough money to pay for housing
that’s the challenge i’m out here trying to find a balance, i got callous

verse 2
i’m out on the balcony without a harness…i’ma jump
tell the whole world to f-ck itself until it c-ms
and that uptight landlord to sit on his thumb
and for that reason i’m outside with a gun
you really gone kick me out cause i missed that payment?
it’s been four days man do you even speak the language?
i know they hate me, i embrace the hatred!
they tie that noose and supply that juice
but my black skin make me stronger than zeus
my only downfall’s when i bit that fruit
so i climb that roof and i bungee jump
i got to take risks while i am still young
i got loans in my name that i ain’t write
y’all writing checks with your mouth that your -ss can’t sign
can’t wait till i write the check and bounce, in due time
instead i write the check, it bounce, i lose my mind
looking inside myself for what you can’t find
i know you want me dead? but i’ll do just fine
because today’s downfall is tomorrow’s diamond
i got hit with a hardball but stayed in that line up
then stayed on that diamond catching fly b-lls
with a grip that could rip straight through drywall
and enough life experience to supply y’all
with a plethora of events to base your life off..

verse 3
them long work weeks make a big ol difference
pay check to pay check’ss how i handle my business
the light bill due and the cable too and my car need gas and the fridge need food
so i stopped bs’ing 10 bucks an hour
got my b.s. in business and power
my economics tell me this ain’t true
how did the cost of living go up through that roof?

chorus
and this beat alone costs a thousand
how am i supposed to survive when i ain’t even got enough money to pay for housing
that’s the challenge
i said this beat alone cost a thousand
how am i supposed to survive when i ain’t even got enough money to pay for housing
that’s the challenge i’m out here trying to find a balance
