The Phoenix

So I take another step, and one more breath

Closer to death. there's things going on in this

World that got me stressed. lately I find myself

Searching my soul. looking for signs of life,

A warmth in the cold. I'm young and restless

And they want me to fold. I'm hard headed, I

Ain't never did shit I was told. I get too mad too

Fast over too much shit, but I put too much heart

Into the words I spit. maybe I'm too proud,

Maybe I scream too loud...but what goes in,

Must come out. and I'm hurting inside. I can't

Show it. obstructed by pride. I ain't being hard I

Just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if I live or

I die. who comes first? you not before i. I'm still

A ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those

Who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. I

Ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. I chose.

C'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines.

You're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime.

Let a brother try to come between me and mine.

I'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. that's

The deal and that's for real, by any means. am I

Wrong because I want the finer things in life?

Hell no. take this world by storm.

All I ever wanted was a taste of. all I ever wanted

Was a piece of what I could not have.
