DJ ABEOKUTA I absolutely love Phlow and Maka together on this track. If life was fair, they'd already recognized as the future of music in Nigeria. Favorite track: Looking At Nobody.

I'm losing composure by the season its not kosher Steady reaching for on my toes they on sofas No prediction only God knows who will go far So i'm religiously following Playing my part Heres what you gotta know about that phlow I'm bout that life that get it now or lose it, strife With sharp insight and listening skills what doesn't kill, they say will make you stronger so i'm fit for the bill Now I just Let the beat play I bet I will slay cause I don't really care what they say Them wannabe players should put this on a replay I cannot behave When all I got is time to kill it burst through ceilings Make way Yo I am so set A go getter I go yes get better that flow get I work at it and no less No concealing no fakes no pathetic theres no rest get high on that heat I'm feeling ready for some progress Tell em(3ce) Imma let the beat save me They don't even get that I can't let nothing contain me All I got is reputation can't be taken from me best believe that i'm about to set it off insanely Give them bars a workout Some PHE An honorary doctorate I call it PHD that doctored flow I'm ill in it I hope that you see me Thats all I ask is give a chance In getting to know me I'm losing patience though i'm losing patience asking for some rhythm and poetry wheres the basics Know some people placing they faith in this will we make it Won't slow down i'm moving until we taste it Until I get it right until every single piece is sound tight I mean until that progressive progression that alliterations hits that mic right Impossible cannot match our mite Maybe she should give them what they want is what they all say but what if what they say the want is only child' s play talking bout some chukka game i'm so not about to play Real essentially will trample fake is all i'm saying bae

Reminder 03:53
Ok Look look I ain't real one to judge a cover by the book (book) but everything I mistook while we were together was expected might be too hooked to unhook All we are is been there seen there done that and all the time you've taken from me can't be brought back I pulling up some random flashes from my mind bank Don't spot the change When I check(cheque) it you fill blank You yank my feelings up an down then Push em all around eh Got me feeling is this really rubbing me the wrong way Used to say its alright Every time you'd come by Fill up the doubt and imagine we were just fine Just fine When theres a piece that majorly tearing apart by the seams- Stress is to think you'd try to be new with the lies that you make up to stains on your tees Break up and we fight Then we forget all the reasons and come back I say i'm done with the please you say on shot and so i pull up the trigger I ain't gun shy I guess I'm Starting to thing that you are Pushing me away you are heading to far Pick me up then drop me off Its only the start I hate that I want to stay and depart depart eh HOOK Incase you don't know This is a reminder Yes you know good girl gone bad Like rihannah nah woah oh You messing with my heart now Oh boy yeah its time to go lights out lights out uh yea Everything that you do Is intense to me boo How do you do the things that you do Or is it Everything that I do is intense to you too Do I move you the way that you do me Like i'm dense to the feeling for a sec of amazing when it feels like i'm touching the moon Space suits you suddenly Distance over time is the speed with the web that you weave I said the Show (show) me something that I don't know Show me something prove what you tell me isn't for show Like I don't even know where we going but i will go and if you hurt me I could lose something that I have never known Well forget that Cause its way past the season of the back track pull out me phone jack I've moved past that Do you see what you made me do Numb to the drama he hurt and the pain was the moment of blame was the I can't be there with ya Boarded the train I was amazed with all that came and uh and I am done take out all of the old bring out the new yo I could write a song about the shitty parts du du du no come use reggae take spoil my blues ah over the grieving Timbaland yes the Damage is done so I guess i'll be leaving leaving HOOK Till fade

I smell no Jealousy in the air tonight That Teck on the beat got me feeling right Like liking the way that the spot got light I might grab a mic you could take a hike yo I wasn't even trying right (right) Its about time they had dust to bite Competition pale know I dust em right Baking bread i'm about that life No time for the fakes with shady handshakes or lazy ass hate though Just here for the game and loving the way it won't be the same yo Like I ain't check for you I'm too focused on topping Its over due (are you) feeling the lull yet this is my cue Tell em turn up the music Lets get into (it) I don't really care bout what they do HOOK I ain't looking nobody Ain't looking at nobody I ain't looking at nobody looking at nobody Cause i'm taking it all I don't care put my hands up in the air taking it all I don't care put my hands up in the air like this See they watching for me And claim to know Jack I'm reaching for it I no go look back I'm thirsty for it I cannot retract I flow on the beat till I could not rhyme so Music my drug no Rehab did u miss me I don show Laid back by my nature my M.O All so easy with this can I go on Go on that Plan to kill it over time when I go on blast bla bla blast I can't be copied cat cuz I'm at where its at Go get the welcome mat woah Sick though when I spit crazy Could you tell em i'ma let the beat save me Raise up the bar I don't care who they are All I see now is stars This is only the start Hook I don't send nobody I don't care Put my hands pup in the air I'm taking it all And I don't care no no no oh oh oh I'm taking all I don't care I don't see you I don't see you at all

Bank It 01:58
Bet they don't believe it How could I go on this Isn't it the silly of hey consciousness blissfully slay for no reason blissfully kill on the beat while i'm wistfully dreaming bout me, myself, and I mind, body and soul No evidence with the way I leave the beat bloody and cold Half amazing full estrogen with the testament throw verbs that cut grown boys into lesser men I'm way too busy Time is money, money talks I guess i'm loud then So get them nixxas out they play pens I move mics I'm too hype I'm straight and I won't bend I see the start and there is no end On a winning spree so pull out your ones Too quick for the bullets when they pull out the guns I might go nuts Never rule out the stunts And if the cops wanna stop me Just pull out the funds

I was tryna find you But losing everything in me I no go lie dude You said you love the way I are And I believed you Would think I love the way you do me Its a cycle, a vicious cycle You say you want this then you don't You so up and down and I'm delusional for you I do not like the fact that you keep saying that I run Away from you Every time I make the effort you lay back an cruise uuh Plus you lie to me Like we freaking elementary kids though i'm loving how you lay with me Eyes closed revel in your company You make my heart spin You make my head swell All the times you send me Messages on end and All the times you said you love me until the end But you mess up again again I push you off and you beg you Hook You begging on bended knees Spinning up fantasies You say it won't be the same Reciting some poetry Start all over agin Forgetting all of the pain I'm plastered up on the mend Heart breaking is always pending I should get over this The final one I swear it is ooo Verse 2 Yeah I see it ending I see it ending but I come back The pain be pending The pain be pending You fill the cracks You put some balm upon balm on the hurt to set it right Like you some broker on business and I'm no on your stock So whats the right point The right point on guard Its like playing on the defense When i'm closer its hard I keep on leasing you my heart when that shit should be on guard but you always win with a please especially on your knees though The memories though are pulling in its crazy not alright you telling it will be better this time my baby So i'm right smack in the middle of loving and loving with you is hazy amazing when First comes loving then hurting the pain knowing our purpose is petty again yo I know its bound to maim me maybe I like the feeling and all the words i've been putting lately helps the numbing Like it or hate it I guess you could still be the one to commit I swear I'll notice I'll notice the signs when they be coming.

about

Mind, Body & Phlow is the impressive, jaw-dropping new EP from gifted Lagos, Nigeria-based artist Phlow, who made waves last fall with the project's supremely ill lead single,"Reputation."
While that neck-snapper of a track showcased that Phlow could straight spit, she reveals other sides of her artistry across the seven tracks on here. She shows off her ability to write a love-centric tune on the melodic "Reminder" with singer Gogo, lets her hair down for the bouncy, Maka-featured "Looking at Nobody," and deftly blends hip-hop and soul with Maka once again on "The Final One."

Phlow's still ripping apart beats, though, and that's evident on the aforementioned"Reputation" and brand-new cut "Bank It." Armed with a "99 Problems"-sampling hook and slapper of an instrumental, she lets loose for a minute of pure rhyming. And it's only right that she brings it all home with a remix of "Reputation," which flips the bangin' original into a laid-back reggae jam.

If you didn't know Phlow before, you damn sure will now. Mind, Body & Phlow is now available for stream through both SoundCloud, AudioMack and Bandcamp, courtesy Str8 Buttah Productions.
