Phoenix Rise…
(专辑: Time Flys, Life Dies... Phoenix Rise - 2015)
[Hook:] (But I
couldn't get around it) I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried Black Star, black light; just another day in the
life Paying the
price, still trying to live righteous, right? Up before sunrise, open my eyes Take a
walk with my spirit guide, go outside They think I
lost my mind, but I'm just looking at the
hands of time Until it's time to cross that divide Already fulfilled my purpose, I
spit these verses This whole material world is all worthless Experience deep in the
flesh My memory has a
shelf life from my first to my last breath That's why I
laugh at death; every week cash the
check Go home with some gas and a
spliff Canibus! See I
knew Bis Couldn't get around it; the
truth is, I
had to go through it This is the
price I
pay to make music This is what music like this produces [Hook:] Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried I
am the
creator of the
extreme; I
dream I
wear clothes cut by black, gold, and green laser beams The
deep lilac lion of purified iron Crafted a
trident and offered it up to Poseidon In earnest they may form an alliance Before the
very last drop of water on planet Earth is expired But it was too late; the
rulers of the
empire rain down fire The
sound of annihilation is quiet Nothing desired, nothing admired Just a
pile of rubble that emits silence; greed at its finest I
walk towards nowhere; something appears I
walk closer then I
realize, nothing is there I
smell ammonia distilled from bones and dung Odor at the
border, the
golden tongue The
fragrance made me feel weightless Took me to a
faraway place that felt familiar but ancient It feels ancient because, this all happened before Lord Shiva, the
Destroyer of Worlds I
woke from the
dream and for whatever it's worth I
said a
prayer to the
Most High; it could've been worse He performed great works, recreated the
earth Shewbread dipped in olive oil, you taste first [Hook x2:] (But I
couldn't get around it) I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
windmill of wealth doesn't spin by itself No matter who you are, you need help Hate is inspired by survival That's why some people never get along Even when then try to Everything happens in cycles You was king for a
century, then you was beaten by your rival I
asked life, “How do I
describe you?” Sits down beside you, looks you in the
eye spiteful If karma goes around for real Then it must be taking the
scenic route, on foot, no wheels Think you hot cuz you got deal? Nothing lasts forever, now kneel That's what I
thought; how it feel? That's all I'm trying to reveal I
ain't trying to see your dreams get killed And watch you fiend for a
mill The
Devil in a
red suit, sitting on the
stoop Eating goat head soup; some type of throwback loop The
blowback blew you off of the
roof And caused other problems too I
speak to it, then it talk to you I
find a
trophy underneath all the
dust and grime At least one more time, I
can bust a
rhyme Then forever the
rapper organize metadata; success is a
ladder The
higher you go, the
more the
risk it collapses Energy returned on energy invested Other than that, doesn't matter who the
best is [Hook] Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
tried Gotta make a
decision, gotta decide It don't always work out how you want sometimes (But I
couldn't get around it) Gotta make a

couldn't get around it) The
Most High knows I
