lyrics

Black Phillip everywhere that I go
Tellin’ lies tryna get at my soul
Black Phillip everywhere that I go
Black Phillip, Black Phillip

Look with your mind’s eye, try to visualize
The life beyond the lies and it might be a surprise
The things that you might find
Lots of homies on my mind, but I’m steady on my grind
Working heavy all the time
Something not to mess with like a .9
That you found in ya daddy closet while he working overtime
It’s summertime and you just wanted to impress your friend
Til you accidentally press that trigger in and make a mess of them
I know I paint it vivid when I’m spitting
Don’t get it twisted like a spliff is, Eugene is it
Devils tryna get they hand inside my vision
I used to be misguided and now I can tell they missed me
That’s why I flow cold like a fridge is
Be careful who you flirting with cause y’all might end up kissin
Finally got the perfect mix in like a brix is
Devil still in disguise though, no Tony Cliffton

Black Phillip everywhere that I go
Tellin’ lies tryna get at my soul
Nice try, didn’t even come close
Until I realize he’s right under my nose
Black Phillip everywhere that I go
Tellin’ lies tryna get at my soul
Black Phillip everywhere that I go
Black Phillip, Black Phillip

Open up your heart and let me see inside
If you keep playing in the dark, how can you see in light?
Do you realize that your reality could really be lies?
That’s why it’s always me and I steady by my side
‘Cause I still feel these devils eyes
Watching every movement, tryna get me by surprise
Creating a confusion to inhibit any bloomin’
To me it’s all just static like the needle when the groove ends
There used to be a devil and an angel on my shoulder
I brushed the wrong one off, learned my mistake as I got older
I got a lot colder, call me the winter soldier
These devils taking every chance they can ‘cause they freeloaders
That’s why I’m laying low and writin’ pages
Until it’s paid in full and hittin’ stages
There’s a better life and I’m tryna embrace it
By changing myself and this the facelift
