Baby Keem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you say? Oh, you haven't?
Alright, wait, bitch
Two-phone Baby Keem, fuck you mean? I am here, ho
Ice cream, booger colored piss, Sub-Zero
No, ho, hookers in my clique, we don't fear ho
Lit, lit, lit, lit, lit, lit, lit, lit
Ain't no apologies when I get paid
A dermatologist, I want the face
Don't talk to me when I stomp in this bitch, ho, ho
Pussy watery, I duck the tuna fish, ho, ho
Yeah, uh, these niggas actin' like groupie, huh
Lil' bitch, she wanna get mad
'Cause I keep on lookin' all in her boobie, huh
I got the furniture options
My U-Haul movin', coochie to coochie, huh
I buy the toe when I shop it
Rock band on toosie, now I look spooky, huh, huh
Easy there boy, shit get greedy there, boy
I rep PG there, boy, my gang need me there, boy
If my sex tape leak, your bitch on TV there, boy
Watch her please me there, boy (lil' baby got on my nerves)
Shit get greedy there, boy (lil' baby got on my nerves)
I must admit, I am a mess, I cannot fix it, mm
Lil' baby thick, Margiela sweats, look at my dick print, mm
Fuck all the rats, if you confess, that is a big hit, huh
Fuck all the rats, if you confess, it get addressed, bitch
Have you ever been punched in your motherfuckin' face?
What you say? Oh, you haven't?
Alright, wait, bitch
I want the fade (I want the fade)
Give me my fade, I want the fade
I need the fade, I need my-
We gotta fade, give me my fade (fade)
We gotta fade (fade)
Give me my fade, I want the fade
I, I need the fade (fade)
Run me my fade (fade)
The song "Vent" by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar uses crude and explicit lyrics to express a sense of dominance and power. The song opens with a rhetorical question asking if the listener has ever been punched in the face. The lyricist then implies a sense of hostility and aggression towards the listener who may not have ever experienced such violence. The lyricist then asserts himself as the dominant figure in the situation, with lyrics like "Ice cream, booger-colored piss, Sub-Zero," and "Pussy watery, I duck the tuna fish."
Throughout the rest of the song, Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar continue to assert their dominance with crude and explicit lyrics about sex, money, and power. The phrase "I want the fade" is repeated throughout the song, which could be interpreted as a desire for conflict or aggression. The use of the phrase "fade" in this context could also be a reference to a haircut, implying that the lyricist wants to assert their dominance over others by looking better than them.
Overall, "Vent" is a song that is meant to be provocative and confrontational, with lyrics that are meant to shock and offend. The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the hyper-masculine culture of modern rap music, and the ways in which artists use explicit and aggressive lyrics to assert their dominance over others.
