Just chuckin stix in the pHlame
burnt away so don't remember my name
All my life iii been ashy
so with the ash iii remain
while iii just chuck these sticks in the pHlame 

whoever thought i-i-i phel thus pharr
i-i-i grew up sub-par
but it's cool cos
i&i kno who i-i-i-i are

harrr - binge - r of the N.O.I.R.E.
newer than any era comin apHter
iiill erase all your errors
oops––turn the page
an-oth-er
chap-ter
run this maze pHaster, pHaster
than velociraptor
break out the cage––blow the motherboard
like my sopHtware
was eX ma-chi-na

iiill show you how
but keep the secret..
mad low key now..
yaO––
just drop your keys now
owW––
take that watch off
and throw your hats off
do a crown toss
and just pHloat up, up up up..

the game O' liepHe
gets a lot simpler
when you can raze it up
and sea the big picture (el foto grande)

sum'n like simba
or claus in december
then iiim gone till november..

peep the harvest
pHrom the artist workin hardest
burning hottest
seeing pHarthest
pHuck a pHather, pHam n pHame
iiim just a talking head still ahead of the game
sleepy hollow 
horse blanco
dusted like a
matte black lambo
pHull throttle plus a bottle
trailblazing
never pHollow
dodging aims pHrom the hollows
catching air like a (swallow)
but what do iii know...
?

Just chuckin stix in the pHlame
burnt away so don't remember my name
all my liepHe iii been ashy
so wit the ash iii remain
but bepHore iii dust, lemme just
chuck these sticks in the pHlame 



iiim spittin writtens
but it's still spittin
but the ink is drippin
believe these bars locked tight:
see, "a prison"
yaO, bepHore the tryppin 
sit n listen
wait, so high [TaKai] iii think iii might
have gone missing
auto reply: "Saiyin gone pHishing"
in the Mission on a mission
pHor some college bisches
addicted.
the narrow path is repetition
i fell off.
but then i pHel up
like heaven was down
iii really pHelt that Pain of the Anointed when they reversed my basqiat crown
selecting chicks like Woody would peck on his own daughters' lips
damn, america’s a tryp––
just make sure you phel up
when they START TRYPPIN in shiit.

Just chuckin stix in the pHlame
burnt by phlame––iiill never be the same..
my whole liepHe iii been ashy
the Angel dust is the same
while iii just chuck these sticks in the pHlame 


this mage––magician be slippin
thru the slits in the stage
repHlecting all the petty drama
drowning my age
with the aim–to create–my own mirror image.
OKayy..?
was razed an  
8-0-80s baby
kinda crazy
labeled lazy
maybe, maybe
iii just could be 
a tree seedling
germinating
incubating
why you hating 
why you shading
just be patient
shit 
"this ain't a movie,” kid
if you haven’t noticed yet
this real on REEL liepHe is way more vivid.
