PHX Lyrics by Benjamin Earl Turner

Yell Pretty

2017

[Chorus: ArchDuke]
A cigarette burned down to the filter
My life ain't been ashed in a long ass time
My photos all got black and white filters
Snapshot shows I been having one hell of a time
Cause everything is burning
And here I am a phoenix
Can I be reborn
I'm drowning in smoke again
Everything is burning
Everything is finished
I've been reborn
Thank God I'm born again
[Verse 1: Benjamin Earl Turner]
Grappling with self-hatred while leaving this woman's house
Snow is caked on the ground
I'm trudging through the drudgery while listening to daughter
That music is the sound of hope slaughtered
Just what the doctor ordered
And probably some penicillin
It's probable I smoked a Black 'n Mild while in my feelings
How many black boys always torn apart by that phrase
And then consumed by the rage become the song from the page
Now we real niggas chop a bitch up
And burn her in the furnace with it
Chopper hiccup to your stomach boy your sternum missing
Better that I'm in my fee's with all the wild things indigenous
And Miles, [?], and Sun Ra with pleasant dreams about Maxine, sure
The type of woman I would max out for
Instead I'm 'bout to implode
(?) man is looking at me like he already knows
We both wear the same cologne
The brand is alone
[Chorus: ArchDuke]
A cigarette burned down to the filter
My life ain't been ashed in a long ass time
My photos all got black and white filters
Snapshot shows I been having one hell of a time
Cause everything is burning
And here I am a phoenix
Can I be reborn
I'm drowning in smoke again
Everything is burning
Everything is finished
I've been reborn
Thank God I'm born again
[Verse 2: Benjamin Earl Turner]
Too good to be rapping about robbing
Too bad Heath Ledger ain't get his joke
To my throat if we ever choke while I'm entertaining the masses
And we depressed and in need of the Xanax
Trying to cope with a rope tied tightly around our larynx
Be sure to pull out my wallet, retrieve the note that we wrote
To ourselves we inflict the most pain, pain
Two eyes could produce the most rain, rain
To all my listeners thank you for being patient
I know you used to that instant gratification
To write a bar is like writing a Bible verse
I'm trying to give you a record of my creation
A record of when I died and a record of rebirth
Modern miseducation I'm unplugging the universe
To give less would suggest if you blessed this for you
I'm telling you now 'cause the people adore you
[Chorus: ArchDuke]
A cigarette burned down to the filter
My life ain't been ashed in a long ass time
My photos all got black and white filters
Snapshot shows I been having one hell of a time
Cause everything is burning
And here I am a phoenix
Can I be reborn
I'm drowning in smoke again
Everything is burning
Everything is finished
I've been reborn
Thank God I'm born again
