Prevail - Ventilate lyrics

[ 'MC': Mad Child, 'Pre': Prevail ] ( *DJ Babu cuts up* ) "Ventilate" "Swollen Members" "Dart-spittin" [MC] Man, I can't believe I have to go through all of this again I gave you your position [Pre] What, I thought we were friends?! I didn't ask, you offered, you're short-tempered and demanding It's my energy on stage that makes our show so outstanding [MC] Look, when we first hooked up, my first thought was you're a pansy You couldn't rap on beat, you little four-eyed geek [Pre] Yeah? And at the club there's a reason we don't hang out that much You're double-fisted with two Heinekens actin like a lush [MC] That's better than a leech, I tried to teach you to be tough I guess it's hard to squeeze strength out of a cream puff [Pre] Oh you're rough? [MC] Yeah, that's right [Pre] Hey, let me pa** you a pen So you can fill an application at the Hair Club for Men [ Hook (2X) ] [MC] I meant everything I said [Pre] Everything I said I meant [Both] When there's much on the line, yo, there's times you gotta vent "Ventilate" [Both] We're magnificient together, it's a perfect combination [Pre] Man, you know how many times I've had to swallow my pride? Put my feelings aside so that we wouldn't collide? [MC] I know I'm hard to get along with and much harder to work for But I'm breakin my back while you're hangin out at the bookstore [Pre] Yeah, but when I'm there I'm readin Icarus, kinetics in English So when we make songs at least our music sounds distinguished [MC] Come on man, I made this happen, you don't appreciate sh** [Pre] Yeah? [MC] I'm the one who hustled, yo, you never put in one cent You're dead-set in your ways, your stubborness [Pre] What? [MC] How you think we got this far, it didn't happen from luck [Pre] If I had a buck for every kid I battled and slayed I'd had enough to start my own [edited] record label anyway [ Hook (2X) ] [MC] I hope you realize these songs weren't made for free [Pre] Man, I know But once the cash comes back you can recoup your dough [MC] Yeah bro, but you ain't even signed a contract [Pre] No, that's wack [MC] I could get stabbed in the back [Pre] You should know better than that [MC] Well, it's frustrating to me, I got a lot on my plate [Pre] Well, you're the one who put it there, I thought we already ate [MC] Alright look, where was I back three years ago? [Pre] Mininum wage? [MC] That's right, and where we at now? [Pre] Yeah, different page [MC] OK, what's the significance of the point I'm tryin to make? [Both] We sound magnificient together [Pre] so let's drop this whole debate (How many states?) [MC] Not many (How many countries?) [Pre] Plenty (How old are both of y'all?) [both] Let's just say we're in our twenties (How'd you come up with the name Swollen Members?) [both] Drunk at Denny's (Any last words?) [both] Step up and you'll get kicked to the curb [Pre] We're strippin your verse, we're rippin, you're a [both] victim of words [Both] We're both putting in work tryin to get what we deserve [ Hook (2X)] ( *DJ Babu cuts up* ) "Spit it" "Ventilate" "...'em, leave em layin on their back" --] Iriscience
