[Verse 1]
Well here's one that's gonna kick your damn a**
Slowin' it down to try to get some cla**
Cause sometimes when I listen to some other MCs
I get pretty annoyed by their simplicity
So let's go, I ain't gonna bust this rap simple
Flow like this, prolly never get a wrinkle
Maybe, maybe, Imma have to step up and talk like a baby
So MCs can understand me, cause normally I'm capable of meeting the demand for speed
Takin the rake and then sweepin up all who be creepin and crawlin
And fakin and rushin and brushin the dustbin and dustin off all of the
Previous devious-scribblin papers and dippin your pagers in corrosive acid
Cause one day the techheads will all get their a**es kicked
Tryin to fly, and no getting high was allowed
But I'm proud not to have that sort of sh** disturb me
Yeah, holler if you heard me
Except that you didn't cause I'm fast as a blur be
Burn!
[Verse 2]
MCs have ADD, their rhyme's simple, mine's complex like AD&D
Your CD come free, with a year of AT&T
So when you pull a Metallica don't be complainin' to me
See I get juice, every time I get up I let loose
Phoenix, leavin' the rap world in a neck-noose
Rock, do it the right way, Code Blackbird
Phoenix is tight - hey, that's what the cold facts were
Got my bachelor's degree in Thinking Straight
PhD's in Creativity and Logic, respectively
Respecting me is not a problem for most folks
I'm the one that's givin' this hip hop sh** the most hope
The most dope, and if I'm not, then I'll fight for the title
You best believe I'll write a mile-long marathon
Errors? Wrong, perfect as the camera's on
Phoenix Voice is flowin' on strong like the Amazon
Burn!
[Verse 3]
Want me to bow to a hater?
It ain't happening, like figuring out love on a calculator
Falcon invaders over the balcony, k**ing with alchemy
I step out and they run because they know I burn naturally
Listen, hark - they got as much chance of beating me
As I would of getting a smart fan if I was Linkin Park
Naturalest, the way I write's prolly blasphemous
Tried to learn theory, but remembered I'm not a MASOCHIST
Matchin' this?! That's a mighty heady concept
Not for those who grow their heads by driving 'round in Convettes
I mean...Corvettes, see how bloody the floor gets
When it comes to common sense, I am a war vet
I rock eight ways to tuesday
Hope to the good and to villains I bring Doomsday
So go now, do not ask how I know how
I FEEL how, that's how I got to where I be at now
Burn!
We are gonna burn
Phoenix gonna burn
Fire gonna burn
