about

Phlow kicks off her #PhlowFridays series with “Pent House,” an emotionally broody and somewhat off kilter track that exposes the Nigerian native's vulnerability. On the Teck-Zilla produced track, Phlow collects all of her "pent" up emotions, and "houses" them in her head to process. Although this coping mechanism for the most part works to Phlow's favor, she addresses her feelings of isolation, of a world that continues to spin, leaving her to feel left behind. As part of the human condition, this is something that most of us experience and revisit frequently. It's through Phlow's ability to communicate these emotions that we become pulled into her world.

lyrics

[Verse1 :Phlow]

I've always been words no actions
Always been bark no bite
Feels all pent in the past
Tensed up work on my pen
No quotes to cite
All of held up cannot put my ink down
And they'll never know all the feelings that I found
I put them all up in my pent house
I know the view
Don't ask just do
Yeah I did it
Yeah I kept it
Never wrote it
Never show it
Never showed it
It never is easy especially when you forget how to put on the off switch
Off from a cliff then I fell to ditch

[Bridge]
The world spins on without you
And most of that spin happens when you're not around

[Verse 2: Phlow]
In my pent house I'm trap sitting
On a chaise lounge
I'm sipping soco
Till my glass is empty
You fill me up again
Then you go ahead and go on
We like a freaking disaster
Tell em to get out they phones and record it
Thought it I'd sort it
Retort it abort it emotionally
It's freaking distorted
The you you know
Is you who
Should have know the love myth exists to screw you
Over, used to think what to do
Literally had it backwards with you
But if I'm numb then
You won't see me frown
Yo if I'm numb then
You wouldn't even know you brought me down no no
