Phora Lyrics
"The White Owl"

I got my game from the man who lived his life on the block
Gave me some advice so I listened when he talked he said
"Keep living you life 'cause time never stops one day we all go
Whether you like it or not". he told me I ain't tryna live this
Way no more but I guess it's too late
Ain't seen nobody smile at me in so long
Til I seen your face, and my eyes no longer have tears, mouth no longer has
Taste, my heart no longer has love, but my soul is still in the right place
My eyes no longer have tears, mouth no longer has taste
Heart no longer has love
But my soul is still in in the right place
And that's all that matters

I could see the pain inside the eyes of a killer
Never show my feelings put them to the side
And conceal them, they tryna kill us
I'll never run the darkness 'cause I see peace in the
Furious, love in the heartless
Time is moving so fast I been on my own path
Shout out to the cats just hoping this last line of coke lasts
I don't condone but yo' I feel you pain
It's like we ain't got shit to lose but ain't got shit to gain
It's the same every second, every day of the month
Hooker in the corner tryna feed a baby for once
Money is the root of all evil, but everybody needs it
Know some cats who kill for it
Know some who wouldn't keep it
Know some cats to give half to the church and thank Jesus
And for the right amount I know some girls you can sleep with

Baby I got my game from the man who lived his life on the block
Gave me some advice so I listened when he talked he said
"keep living you life 'cause time never stops one day we all go
Whether you like it or not". he told me I ain't tryna live this
Way no more but I guess it's too late
Ain't seen nobody smile at me in so long
Til I seen your face, and my eyes no longer have tears, mouth no longer has
Taste, my heart no longer has love, but my soul is still in the right place
My eyes no longer have tears, mouth no longer has taste,
Heart no longer has love no
But my soul is still in in the right place
That's all that matters

Often misunderstood probably 'cause they can't relate to me
Seen so many faces they starting to look the same to me
Friendships break apart, girlfriends turn to exes
Life is a test but I'm still learning my lesson
Never the less it's kinda stressful when niggas out to get you
And all you trying to do is to show the world you got potential
But no one gives a fuck about the struggles you been through unless
You handing them money and it's not coincidental
When you at the bottom you get left in the dust
Don't put your hand out 'cause ain't nobody helping you up
I got 2 feet one choice and no other options
And when you at the bottom you can still see where the top is
