‘Doms (feat. Domo Genesis)’ is a song by hip hop collective Odd Future that displays their raw and real take on street life and Los Angeles. They rap about the struggles they faced growing up in a struggling city, the money they acquired from hustling, and using that money as a saving grace to build their respective rap careers. The lyrics are unapologetic and braggadocious as they discuss their respective hardships and the fact that they “made it out the hood” in spite of it all. They also highlight their loyalty to their friends, saying “shout out to the homies that ain’t make it out” while still having a tinge of sadness that they could not carry them to success.
