[Verse 1] Life sucks and I never tried suicide Mind's fucked even more than I realise Time's up, keep it moving when she arrives If you ever heard what I heard in my mind Never try, you would cry, that's a lie, you would die I don't wanna ever come down from a high I'm in the best seat, from time, been a next breed If you comin', come at me directly Don't need no one to defend me Soul's in a place even I can't get to, don't fuck with the deadly Moon waves and open seas, quick coasting overseas Fuck those who don't believe They will never wanna admit I'm the best here From the mere fact that I've got ovaries It's a woman's world, so to speak Pussy, you sour Never givin' credit where it's due 'cause you don't like pussy in power Venom Venom [Verse 2] My, my, if you've ever heard what I've heard in the night What a fright, must've been a parasite in my past life I don't wanna ever come down from a high My soul ascended to the sky, it's just you and I God but I'm feelin' too alive Tryna get me out of spite Someone's gotta pay, I ain't talkin' big amounts Some kind of physical pain Some kind of traumatic shit Niggas wanna see dead bodies Probably not, they ain't rollin' With no automatic clips Moving scatty, all erratic and shit Niggas pussy lickin', batty and shit Oh, you mad? Then come at me, you prick Make a move, better pattern it quick I assume you'll be comin' for blood That makes two of us, that makes two of us [Chorus] Venom Venom Venom Venom, venom [Verse 3] Night time to daylight we roll trees Saved lives, invade minds and go deep Oh, he wouldn't have guessed I'm so chill Part of the day in the life you won't see Part of the day in the life you can't be here for It's the day in the life of OGs Dealin' with inner demons that won't leave Not a word, you will listen when my soul speaks Down I go, so follow me, follow me, follow me Actually, don't follow me, nobody bother me I'm a mess, honestly, fuck all of your policies They wanna kick me down and demolish me Use me and fuckin' abolish me I don't wanna hear no apologies Or am I in my own head? Can't tell anymore, psychotic to the death When I dig deep, I can never find nothin' left It's a mystery Rage, nothin' but rage Can't figure out if I'm goin' insane Ain't no doubt we'll be showing no mercy So think twice if you wanna get blazed Nothin' ain't nice 'round here, no games I don't wanna dark nobody in a flash True, it's a stick-up, hands in the air Put the money in the bag, all cash, all cash [Chorus] Venom Venom Venom Venom, venom [Outro] Venom

Meaning of "Venom" by Little Simz
The lyrics to "Venom" plunge listeners into a raw, confrontational headspace. The speaker grapples with intense internal turmoil, declaring her "Mind's fucked" while simultaneously projecting an unshakeable defiance. It's a potent mix of vulnerability and aggressive self-assertion, setting a volatile tone from the jump. A core tension here is the speaker's battle against external detractors versus her own internal demons. She challenges anyone who would "come at me directly" and explicitly calls out those who "don't like pussy in power," framing her struggle as one against misogynistic disbelief. Yet, this outward aggression is mirrored by an inward fight, confessing to "Dealin' with inner demons that won't leave" and questioning, "Or am I in my own head?" The most striking craft element is the speaker's embrace of "Venom" as a self-identifier, a potent metaphor for her dangerous, unyielding essence. This isn't just a threat; it's a declaration of who she is, a toxic force to be reckoned with. This persona is further complicated by the stark contrast between moments of spiritual elevation – "My soul ascended to the sky" – and a raw desire for retribution, where "Someone's gotta pay" with "physical pain." These lyrics hit hard because they refuse to simplify. The speaker is not merely a villain or a victim; she's a complex figure navigating intense pressure, both from the outside world and from within her own mind. The effectiveness lies in this unflinching honesty, blending bravado with genuine psychological struggle, making the listener feel the weight of her "Rage, nothin' but rage" and the constant fight to maintain her "high" against a world that seems determined to "kick me down and demolish me."
