"The Phoenix" lyrics
To live and die and rise again, the phoenix mitosis
The way I split myself in two, the water moving Moses
My needs and what I wanted was a life I wasn't promised
I was hopeless, and made the most something called growth
This life is all open
The cold wind was bone chilling frozen in the moment
Amen, the omen
Then met me at the intersection leaves is on the low end
The sacred height to lean into, we went the distance
When I couldn't speak a word spirit told me write a sentence
My senses were all shot, my alternate dimension
Past, present, future, tripping plague in my ascension
The tension was pressure finna pop in all direction
They know shadow without light, not the dark I'm reinvented
My pops say I'm a nine of clubs completion is progression
Embarking on journeys taught me I'm worthy of affection
Will all of my worries leave me I'm fiening for connection
I'm on my way to 30 like I'm certainly protected
Meet me at the nexus
Tomorrow isn't promised but I'm sure this next step is
Blessings, and failure mean you're learning life lessons
It's precious
Takes time, cleaning up the messes
The message for you, and the message of whoever
Complexity rebuked I'll take the easy route to heaven
Got a pot of stone soup, on the fire for my bredren
My life forever changed in 2002
I lost my brother but I'm grateful to have found a few
And hurt people do recover if they face the truth
What's the root? From there I blossom to awake anew
I grew up in a cramped environment but learned to love
The women in my life it's like I only know the hurt and hugs
For every time that I caught fire and my father saw me burning up
Situation's dire I prefer to run further from it
When I was farthest from myself I ain't deserve to plummet
Now I sit with feelings felt I don't revert to numbin'
Be conscious what you give be careful what you summon
Bred in Momma ribs I heard the universe hummin'
The spirits spoke a name, Sage, didn't know it was my own 'till I became it
Rainin', pourin', Atreyu in the Orin
The neverending story of the sword and the soaring
Spent too much of my lifetime warring
Put the sword down, and the shield
Here now, it's time to heal
The way I split myself in two, the water moving Moses
My needs and what I wanted was a life I wasn't promised
I was hopeless, and made the most something called growth
This life is all open
The cold wind was bone chilling frozen in the moment
Amen, the omen
Then met me at the intersection leaves is on the low end
The sacred height to lean into, we went the distance
When I couldn't speak a word spirit told me write a sentence
My senses were all shot, my alternate dimension
Past, present, future, tripping plague in my ascension
The tension was pressure finna pop in all direction
They know shadow without light, not the dark I'm reinvented
My pops say I'm a nine of clubs completion is progression
Embarking on journeys taught me I'm worthy of affection
Will all of my worries leave me I'm fiening for connection
I'm on my way to 30 like I'm certainly protected
Meet me at the nexus
Tomorrow isn't promised but I'm sure this next step is
Blessings, and failure mean you're learning life lessons
It's precious
Takes time, cleaning up the messes
The message for you, and the message of whoever
Complexity rebuked I'll take the easy route to heaven
Got a pot of stone soup, on the fire for my bredren
