Venus by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Landin' on the planet Venus soon, just left the red, losin' count of all the tears I shed
The blood and sweat was there too but the anger reigned, needless to say the planet left me weak and drained
And I complained, but I gained the knowledge, now I'm trained, cannot replace the things that I have ascertained
Entertained some crazy thoughts while seein' red but now them thoughts arе dead, and now the dawn's upon us, no more drеad
[Chorus]
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, stick with me, I'll teach you somethin' new, try not to bore ya
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, to see me rise up to the light from mysteries that came before ya
[Verse 2]
Landin' on the planet Venus now my view has changed, and it's amazin' to me how proportionate she's arranged
A new me is risin' over horizon, sizin' up the competition and surmisin' my work's never compromisin'
It's the dawn of a day, the light can never decay, I'm on display, as I fly and sway myself right through the Milky Way
My aura is aurora, I done tore ya from the shackles of the war so you could soar way up and then work to restore ya
[Chorus]
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, stick with me, I'll teach you somethin' new, try not to bore ya
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, to see me rise up to the light from mysteries that came before ya
[Verse 3]
Feel like I lost a step on Red but Venus gives me pep, felt like I wasn't ready enough even though I did all of the prep
But now I'm here and void of fear, I steer the mind until it's clear, and it is darkest before dawn but the light's startin' to appear
Watch me rise, through the lies, and I'll devise a way to shine my light down to Earth despite those who despise
And I feel like our time is comin' now, no need to disguise they'll hear our cries as we arise above the shit that dies
[Chorus]
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, stick with me, I'll teach you somethin' new, try not to bore ya
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, to see me rise up to the light from mysteries that came before ya
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, stick with me, I'll teach you somethin' new, try not to bore ya
Seein' the bright aurora, I implore ya, to see me rise up to the light from mysteries that came before ya
[Bridge]
My aurora's somethin' straight from lore, yeah, the more ya look into it, it is at my core, yeah
I finally left Mars, no more distractions in the bars, I'm back to focusin' my sight on stars
Venus is a different animal, already writin' seminars that one day will turn into all my life's memoirs
And I know that you're wakin' up child, I need you to rise up now, take my hand, cause it's time to stand
We got work to do, explore the land, we got work to do, strike up the band
Cause I can't stand on my own, no I can't do it alone
[Verse 4]
Here I am on the planet, time to set camp, gettin' closer to the sun, now I'm gettin' damp
Finally landed, I'm already feelin' better, and I haven't even settled, radioed, or lowered down my ramp
800 degrees is kinda hot, I'd rather freeze or rot, but a quitter I'm not, here's better by a lot
Time to seize on what I'm taught otherwise all the danger that I'm facin' gonna be for naught
Now I'm here and I can feel the heat begin to sear, atmosphere appearin' time to get my ass in gear
Picked a hell of a career but I'm here because I am clear and I don't live my life in fear and through the void I like to peer
My fate, feel the weight, gotta replace my phosphate as the heat done beats for 200-25 days straight
But I'm feelin' great, tryin' not to dissipate on a planet full of carbonate
[Chorus 2]
I'm the only genus on the planet Venus, I'm the only genus on the planet Venus
I'm the only species on the planet Venus, surface pressure's so intense but so's the peace and freeness
[Verse 5]
Gotta spend some time on this gas ball, wave hello to the Earthlings, hey ya'll
Almost there, slowin' to a crawl, I'm the first to hit 'em all, and no, this kinda feat ain't small
I'm the first to elevate, hope I can motivate, and it ain't too late to activate and make 'em all capitulate
Set 'em straight, and tell 'em straight up that the new you is gonna be hard to eliminate
And I'm on a new endeavor, and I'm gettin' really clever and that's why I'll last forever and I'll never quit
Until they sever my head with a sharpened lever but until then I'm a keep on workin' and I only work on gettin' better
With the trend, I am a setter, in command of every letter, with the go I am a getter, never runnin' from a debtor
You're a bettor, take a gamble, they can't fetter me forever, dead up in the water and only gettin' deader, yeah
[Chorus 2]
I'm the only genus on the planet Venus, I'm the only genus on the planet Venus
I'm the only species on the planet Venus, surface pressure's so intense but so's the peace and freeness
I'm the only genus on the planet Venus, I'm the only genus on the planet Venus
I'm the only species on the planet Venus, surface pressure's so intense but so's the peace and freeness
Landin' on the planet Venus soon, just left the red, losin' count of all the tears I shed
