Amine - Phoenix lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm trying to take this to majors So f** the haters with razors The glaciers are melting and I ain't helping the way I'm blazing So tell these f**ing Geishas I'm coming from Asia To pave the way for the next age of Fraziers I'mma set the phasers from stun to k** Expose the matrix, I'm the one for real Big as a whale and this industry is tons of krill Tons of sk** I display, but I wonder still Will they accept me for being human I asked my brother and he just stuttered like Ruben The truth is everything is powered by us all consuming So they'll never back somebody talking growth and revolution Refusing to keep looping in the cycle of the gibberish I tell them I'mma fly to the sky then they call me Icarus So I'mma be the vessel for his dreams, even if it means Struggling against the Sun's beams [Hook] Cause even if they burn my wings I'mma rise from the ashes Cause time heals all, and I'll fly when it pa**es They're looking for chances to learn my weakness But you're never gonna burn the Phoenix You can't burn me, no you can't burn me (2x) [Verse 2] I'm f**ing sick of tellin people that I flow And they take a look at me and think I'm never goin pro Like homie you don't know me so blow me and f**ing choke On the slick sh** I spit that I just motherf**ing wrote I hope I can cope with the lack of recognition And keep doing it for the love of rap and what it's missing Only thing I'm trynna do is stay true to my reflection Because the man in the mirror is the only one I haven't been impressin' I'm stressin' over everything, I'm kind of in a tough spot Teachers ask me all the time why my eyes are bloodshot Because I haven't been to sleep in a week And I try to call home but end up talking to the beep Writers block every time I listen to a beat Feeling like I just started but already hit the peak I'm way too young for such a midlife crisis So I'm makin sacrifices, I'm willing to pay the prices Cause what the f** am I good enough to do besides this So I'm floatin' in the ocean just hopin' the tide shifts Never sure if anybody bumping my sh** I'm just trynna keep the faith but feeling agnostic But I will not quit, f** all the gibberish I'll fly to the sky just to rewrite Icarus So I'mma be the vessel for his dreams, even if it means Struggling against the Sun's beams [Hook] Cause even if they burn my wings I'mma rise from the ashes Cause time heals all, and I'll fly when it pa**es They're looking for chances to learn my weakness But you're never gonna burn the Phoenix You can't burn me, no you can't burn me (4x)
