Phoenix on the Rise

Lyrics

**[INTRO:]** Yeah, it’s been a long road, But I'm back, stronger than before, Let’s get it. **[VERSE 1:]** Yo, white boy on the block, never feared the fight, Grindin' from the bottom, now I’m reachin' for the heights, Courtrooms, shackles, got me locked away, Years in the cell, but I’m back, I’m here to stay. Family turned their backs, kept their image clean, Actin' like they’re perfect, never knew what I mean, Savage in the streets, but they never saw my pain, Heart’s heavy with the weight, but they just played their game. **[CHORUS:]** Now I’m risin’, fuck the ones who left me cold, Fake friends lurkin’, they just want a piece of gold, Respect on the streets, I’m the one they fear, From the jailhouse grind to the top, I’m here. **[VERSE 2:]** Money’s on my mind, while they’re stuck in their cage, Playin' small, pretendin', just another page, Heart's big, but I’m cold, got no room for their lies, Saw 'em turn their backs, now I cut ties. Had dreams of the top when I was lost in a haze, Now I’m solid and strong, got the world in a blaze, The grind never stops, every day I push through, Built my empire from the ashes, now it’s time to reclaim my truth. **[CHORUS:]** Now I’m risin’, fuck the ones who left me cold, Fake friends lurkin’, they just want a piece of gold, Respect on the streets, I’m the one they fear, From the jailhouse grind to the top, I’m here. **[BRIDGE:]** And when the night falls, I’ll still stand tall, The whispers of the past won’t break my fall, Yeah, I’m hurt but healed, scars tell the tale, I’m a phoenix in the skies, I will never fail. **[OUTRO:]** Yeah, I’m back, this time it’s for me, From the chains to the game, can’t you see? Took the long road, but it taught me well
