about

(Art by Sean Perriera)

Venmo Ring is a dark trap protest song with French pop influence featuring a tongue in cheek way to ask the listening audience to send money via: a catchy chorus, the speaker's venmo, cashapp, and paypal all being highlighted as ad-libs in the song, and more. Poor people are socialized to feel a lot of shame about not having enough and oftentimes internalize this by never asking for help even when they absolutely need it-mutual aid and reparations can work to address this however and that is what the song suggests. If the system won't help us, how about we help each other? The third verse features j.e.a.u.x. rapping from their perspective as a queer Philipinx person, to add further context to Dev's perspective on this as a poor Black queer/trans person. With an intentionally exaggerated/borderline nonsensical French intro and a Louisana Creole outro, the colonized speaks to the colonizer in this track about the scenario they have placed them in.

lyrics

French Gibberish [j.e.a.u.x.]

[Dev]
We in the car spittin bars with the windows tinted
Flow funky fresh, clean like toothpaste, minted
New money
When I slide on the scene
Turn on them notifications, lemme hear them ka-chings!

Venmo ring, Venmo ring, make my,
Venmo ring, Venmo ring coz I
need the bling, need the bling,
free mind caged heart so this birds gotta sing

Young tranny with the fanny, tryna outlive this nation
Ragin, tryna fill my bank while I’m on vacation
All you crackas tryna pay me, call that shit reparations
Sorry to disappoint you just got high expectations
You got so much money, you got time to waste
I’m a beer budget bitch with champagne dreams for taste
Red bottom energy, but I’m a top
Snitches cop stitches, we ain’t capin for ops
When I mop these bitches starin’ til they faces fall-off
Got Balenciaga bread with a side of green guap
Drop that cheese behind the ball, watch it roll like magic
Dead white dudes help me pay for new fabrics

Venmo ring, Venmo ring, make my,
Venmo ring, Venmo ring coz I
need the bling, need the bling, f
ree mind caged heart so this birds gotta sing, what

Venmo ring, Venmo ring, make my,
Venmo ring, Venmo ring coz I
need the bling, need the bling,
free mind caged heart so this birds gotta sing

Baby Black money don’t grow on stolen Southern trees
Strange fruit proceeds still payin’ all yo’ fees
Now the world wanna act like money grow on me,
So I only spend munies on groceries n smokin’ tree
Dollah sign and I’m drowin’ in anxieties
Glass of wine and I’m stuntin like I’m bourgeoise
401(k) and an IRA’s a memory,
Our generation’s wealth is love, we call dat shit family

[j.e.a.u.x.]
They call me crazy rich Asian
Oscar Gold, you a broke bitch hatin
Don't gotta talk about the money I'm makin
It's the face on a clout vacation

Pay for my onlyfans,
you ain't my only fan,
text me when you get in line,
you not my only man,

The only time you'll ever see me at a nail salon
Is if I'm getting French tips from a white woman

They used to ask, how's it working in a factory
You're Chinese, did you take a boat overseas
You don't have an accent you sound just like me
I didn't know they spoke English in your country

First all bitch, where's your flow?
You sound like a Karen, where'd the manager go?
Second of all, I don't appreciate your tone
I'm too busy for this shit, can't you see I'm on the phone?

And then I walk away, ain't nobody on the line
Don't need to make no calls coz a bitch already signed
I'm talking young money, making dollars on the dime
Feeling opulent, coz these fabrics so fine

I never had a sugar daddy, I don't need a sugar daddy, if I wanted I could get one coz I'm what?
You'll never have a sugar daddy coz you're not that kinda girl, I got boys around the world who wanna hit this thing

I call my man in Manila say what's up?
I'm flying in from Paris, when I land you wanna fuck?
What's it gonna be I'm only here for one more month
Leave the coin on the dresser, close the door when you're done

This ain't the last time you gonna see a rich fag
Check your Wi-Fi you bitches on that mad lag
Imma challenge you to go and get a real job
Barbie, you bitches can't even spell Prague

I'm trick bitch twink baby this ain't a stunt
You wanna hit from the back better pay upfront
The show ain't over till the fag baby sings
They call me Ariana coz I got the seven rings

[Dev]
Chere bebé, this beat sounds like you can’t afford it! (Buku money!)
(A Creole phrase my gran knows that translates to “kiss it good bye,” and rhymes with bonsoir that I literally cannot spell), tell the real world bonsoir, as the music takes you far to spend all your largan
Paris can burn anywhere, if your imagination is rich, but listen and listen well:
Illusions may be free, but in reality no one hates to beg more than poor queer people
