Phoenix

(I need freedom, I need freedom, I need freedom)
But baby what’s freedom, cause nothing really free
And I don’t wanna hear it if you’ve never took a loss
And I don’t wanna hear it if you’ve never paid the cost
And I don’t wanna hear it if you never faced the odds
Do you believe in, divine destiny
Cause how else it make sense this controlled chaos
Why the ones we love to hurt and betray us
And why the ones we help turn around to hate us
I got the glow in my soul, I ain’t playing with shadows
Everyday we gotta pay for that bite in the Apple
Fighting my demons every night, I win the battle
But on occasion I be racing to get out of that gravel
That’s why I wake up in chills sweats at 4Am
Then She pray for me In Jesus name amen
It would break my heart to see her
Pain still there
Can’t take her to the wrong place could get killed there
You really trying to tell me that you see us as equal
When all my brothers still in jail even though weed legal
When something start out pure it ends up evil
When the vision get skewed handed to the wrong people
I need justice, no revenge just Justice
Cause the whole world blind will never do nothin for us
And growing up Billy told me nothin bring nothin
So I’m trying not to die before I give the word something
I’m running out of time, hope the sand don’t fall
Put my self on the map for the capital
You a hatin ass nigga hope yo brand don’t fall
My circle really small cause they don’t cap at all
I’m on the fence for these cold winter nights
The side that’s bright is my increasing appetite
For the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the verities
It’ll come in handy if I get over my fear of heights
Cause I’m destined to take flight, walk in my own light
Ignite the flame that was tamed on my birthright
Break the curse the plagued lineage for some time
Somebody stole the pen got it back now it’s rewrite
Bring mo balance, no mo violence
And no mo tyrants
Bring mo guidance, share providence
A moment of silence
I’m rocking with the set we some intellectuals
I need quarterly checks, and the term perpetual
I ain’t dropping no album if it ain’t conceptual
And I won’t fuck your life up if it ain’t consensual
Don’t rush it
Just love it
Stop scratching the surface
You want it
Way Too bad
It’s making you nervous
Its really all simple, stop overthinking
Need a new point of view, clean your eyes start blinking
Sowing them seeds till it’s the season to reap it
Time to rise from the ashes, say hello to the Phoenix
