Phoenix Rising

Intro

(Yeah, yeah)

Smooth like the wind, rising again

Ayy, phoenix flow, let's go

Verse

They stare from the sidelines, eyes full of green,

Jealous of the shine, but they ain't doin' a thing.

Talkin' big game, but their moves stay small,

Scrollin' through my wins while they do nothin' at all.

Lazy on the grind, excuses on repeat,

Dreamin' of the top, but they stuck in their seat.

I see 'em hatin', postin' shade in the comments,

But when the work calls, they ghost like a phantom.

Me? I'm the bird from the fire, ashes to flight,

Fall hard in the flames, but I ignite every night.

Wings get scorched, crash into the dirt,

But I shake off the pain, flip the script, make it hurt.

They whisper "he lucky," nah, that's the myth they believe,

Truth is I hustle while they binge and they grieve.

Phoenix mentality, rise from the wreck,

Burnt to the bone, but I'm built for the next.

(Next, next) Every stumble a lesson, every scar a crown,

They envy the throne, but won't claim it now.

Chorus

Phoenix rising, yeah I fall but I fly,

Haters jealous, too lazy to try.

From the ashes I glow, never quit, that's my why,

They watch from the ground while I'm touchin' the sky.

Phoenix rising (rising), yeah I fall but I fly,

Haters jealous, too lazy to try.

From the ashes I glow, never quit, that's my why,

That's how I got mine, now watch me fly high.

Verse

Remember the lows? Buried under the weight,

World caved in, thought it sealed my fate.

But I clawed through the dark, sparked the flame in my chest,

Reborn in the heat, put the struggle to rest.

They point at my glow like it's handed on a plate,

Forget all the nights I rebuilt from the hate.

Lazy bones scroll, copy-paste my success,

But grind takes the sweat, they just settle for less.

Wordplay wizard, I phoenix the bars,

Fall off the beat? Nah, I shoot for the stars.

They fold at the first sign of smoke in the air,

I'm dancin' in embers, breathin' victory there.

Ayy, smooth with the flow, like a river that bends,

They jealous of journeys, but scared of the ends.

I rise every time, that's the code that I live,

While they envy and idle, I always forgive.

(Forgive, but I thrive) No time for the drag,

Phoenix forever, wave the flag from the brag.

Chorus

Phoenix rising, yeah I fall but I fly,

Haters jealous, too lazy to try.

From the ashes I glow, never quit, that's my why,

They watch from the ground while I'm touchin' the sky.

Phoenix rising (rising), yeah I fall but I fly,

Haters jealous, too lazy to try.

From the ashes I glow, never quit, that's my why,

That's how I got mine, now watch me fly high.

Bridge

(Yuh, yuh) They talk, I walk, rise above the fray,

Lazy dreams fade, mine here to stay.

Fall down seven, up eight, that's the play,

Phoenix heart pumpin', lightin' the wa
