LYRICS
And as the sands of time erode facades and all invalid prophets,
The truth assumes the form of Phoenix, yet for some, it's catastrophic.
Because though I come from broken conditions, I never put
Myself in the position to live a moment of fiction.
Never counted on hoping and wishing, only wrote what I'm living,
So if I spoke it, then just know that I'm about that.
Know that I'm about that, knuckling up from youth.
Something you know nothing about, what's in this booth?
My pride, my guilt, my pain, my only doubts,
A couple things I never told you about.
My reckless ways, my poisonous vice,
My death wish days, my loneliest nights.
The fact I rose above it, though I had nobody but
Myself because y'all forgot about me once I fell.
Ooh boy, it's on me. This comeback is all me,
This vision is all me, this effort is all me,
So this profit is all me. Whatever be the end result,
Chaotic or melodic, the product is all me.
And as the sands of time erode facades and all invalid prophets,
The truth assumes the form of Phoenix, yet for some, it's catastrophic.
But not me
Because I been about it, every statement is lifted with
Evidence. I can show you to the precipice of relevance,
Walk you through my exodus, running from my own negligence,
Maleficence, resentment, residing inside my skeleton.
Say, if one door close and another door
Open, I don't know who that applies to, I guess I'm not
Chosen. Doesn't matter, if another door close, imma
Kick that in like guess who's
Back. Leave my footprint on this planet.
Too much on my plate, but we continue to read the menu.
No longer seeking refuge, I'm moving with confidence
Because I know how it feels to have no one believing in you.
Regardless, I chased my own dreams. Taught myself to
Write my own lyrics, make my own beats,
Production, engineering, mixing, mastering, marketing,
Even built my own studio, so I make my own cheese.
I truly come from the bottom, how many of y'all can say
You looked your killer in the eyes but you lived to tell the tale?
I wish you well if you fell into the carousel;
If you lose, but you learn, then you didn't fail.
I'm a fighter to the death, heart of iron in my
Chest. You retire under stress, I'm providing while you
Rest. Understand who's in front of you. Recognize
You're colliding with me, then you're colliding with the best.
And as the sands of time erode facades and all invalid prophets,
The truth assumes the form of Phoenix, yet for some, it's catastrophic.
But not me.
