Germaine Williams - Phoenix Rise… (Outro) lyrics

[Chorus] (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 [Verse 1: Canibus] 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 d**h; 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2: Canibus] 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 [Chorus 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) [Verse 3: Canibus] 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 k**ed And watch you fiend for a mill The Devil in a red suit, sittin' on the stoop Eatin' 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 [Chorus] 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
