Benny the Butcher – One Way Flight
What’s a stage with no mic and no voice of a poet?
What’s more important, the flower or the soil that grow it?
A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!
What’s a stage with no mic and no voice of a poet?
What’s more important, the flower or the soil that grow it?
I’m loving your light, vulnerable
Letting your guard down, it’s honorable
‘Specially when the past ain’t been that
Friendly to you, but there’s magic in that
It’s a good day to be
A good day for me
A good day to see
My favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
Now take me to other side
Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon’ fly, feel alright
And it’s new, the shape of your body
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
And it’s ooh, woah-oh
It’s a cruel summer
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It’s a cruel summer with you
Endless distance
Wildlife and stars
Blanket the night
You lying beside me, darling
Eyes wide open
While the wide arc of the globe is turning
We feel it moving through the dark
Hear the hills
Scrape the sky
And our eyes fill with the falling sparks
Mama don’t pray for my success anymore, yeah
But mama still prays for me
Seein’ the world ain’t really seein’ the world
Through a window from A to B
And I’m not cocky, I’m confident
So when you tell me I’m the best it’s a compliment
You start a conversation, you can’t even finish it
You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
The mandem too inconsiderate, five-star hotel, smokin’ cigarette
Mixin’ codeine up with the Phenergan
She got thick, but she wanna get thin again
Drinkin’ apple cider vinegar
Wearin’ SKIM ’cause she wanna be Kim and ’em
Uh, alright, I know that you’re bad, stop actin’ innocent
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earthbound misfit
The highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight
But there’s no place left to hide
Living off borrowed time, the clock tick faster
There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
There is an indentation in the shape of you
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
If you don’t like
The world you’re living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends
I know that I’m carrying on
Never mind if I’m showing off
I was just frontin’
(You know I want you, babe)
I’m ready to bury it all
Unless you don’t care at all
But you know I want ya (I want ya)
(You should stop frontin’, babe)
I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world
If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy
And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don’t stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you’re feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time
The morality can wait
Feedback on low latency
I’m glitching from the face as my thoughts grow sacredly
I’m runnin’ out of space, ask Whitney, she okay
Never mind a hunnid K, why you lyin’ on Benjamin?
He tryna pull a publicity stunt (Damn)
I feel like I’m Gucci Mane in 2006
70k and my inbox filled up
Firewalls, I got my empire all built up
I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, I live where I lay
Roaming, rolling stone that begins with an A
Nomadic, know him as the flow addict
Buzzing in your ear like headphone static
There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be
I know, you know, I’m in too deep to let it go
I know, you know, it’s in my nature to get distant
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
I’m begging you to walk in my shoes any time
Watch the clock ’til you unwind
We don’t believe you, you need more people
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can’t remember your name
‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
I’m just one chain away from goin’ heavy metal
analog girl in a internet world
they don’t make em like this no more
I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”
Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”
I got so much goin’ on, if I do it right, I’m lit for life
