To show-and-tell, now I'm married to the game to no avail
Grounded me for like a month, now I'm gettin' high as fuck
Employer tryna write me up, but now I'm a writer
With ambitions of a rider, Danny Brown (Ft. Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt & Kendrick Lamar) – Really Doe
My zoo cannot fit the cages
This booth is not used to fakin'
My crew just love confrontation Danny Brown (Ft. Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt & Kendrick Lamar) – Really Doe

Soul draws parallels between a childhood memory and his rap career by juxtaposing being “grounded” with getting “high as fuck.” Being grounded may refer to his label situation with TDE—no avail means something (in this case his rap career) is of no use. Also worth noting the wordplay—"veil" is something a bride wears at a wedding.
Soulo also references the song “Ambitionz Az A Ridah,” by 2Pac, which was the first song that the late rapper wrote after being released from jail.
To “know a veil”, and to “no avail”
