#Playlist: Scream Phoenix_Cannibal Ox

Cannibal Ox. The Cold Vein (2001). The grittiest,yet most perceptive shit outta the sewers of New York I've ever heard.
And naturally I gravitated to this particular jam. It's conceptual and exceptional besides the premise being basically an extension of my perceived being gahDAMN did it hit deep! Vast Aire killed it with this verse:

Yo, birds of the same flock together
Congested on a majestic whether
My feathers and flames are one skin
Hallowed be Thy name in the beginning there was no sin
We in the ninth inning, and I'm God body trying to win
Flying against the wind
But now my shell is weightless and fireproof
But the truth is I'm proof of living fire
I'm not made of organics, not even wires
Just felt my body light up and heard the choir
See to the common fowl the phoenix is sire
Most high of all things to ever have wings
Existence is struggle, resistance is futile
Meanwhile we now possess the power of ten suns
To transcend and elevate into one
Famine, disease and senseless dieing is done
Pigeon bird got a breath left
Heart beat no more
Phoenix bird morph and we live off the G-force

too truth. too truth.
