Rising Phoenix (feat. Toni Hickman, georgetragic & Keith Jones)

There's a young boy walking through obstacles
Cut up from all the surgeries
Prosthetic picture perjury telling me I'm normal
But normal they never really made me seem
They always painted me

Discriminated but levitated through all the hated scenes
So I redrew how they made me seem
But that's what you feel around vultures and all the fatal schemes
They wanna label me a crippled, that's the way it seems
Take away my right to pursue a normal life and lead

Indeed, for me I must proceed and shine bright like the sun
Even though I know the darkness will come, it's all temporary
I can be legendary 'cause I will never stop believing in me
It doesn't matter what you think I should be
See I am what I am, I'm the truth, I'm disabled
I'm amazing, understand?

Don't you ever underrate me 'cause I got a second chance
And I choose to be the greatest in whatever the plan is
On my life right I ignite like a kaboom
When I step in the room so please don't get distracted
Yes, my limbs are fractured
Still I rise from the ashes

I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you
I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you

On ya mark, get set da pistol pop
I'm out da blocks, I hit da ground runnin'
No legs they dazed gazelle
But new form of human being born to do it
That's why I be so smooth while I do it from the lead position

Watch how I keep it movin'
Usin' ya lack of intuition, presumin' my condition
Predicts indeed's yes, I arrive and they arise
Transform their right before their eyes and then to the sky
The ashes fall while the phoenix rise

Lead with example and do everything in life
I see a simple thing like riding a bike, we're all alike
How Is that? Enlighten me!
There's so much fight in me
'Cause my superpower it makes me different there's light in me

Wait, how many obstacles I gotta break?
How many fights I gotta face?
Just to make you feel my fate
I shake then I break down, yeah
But I take all the weight down

I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you
I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you

People make fun of what they don't understand
Look at me 'cause I'm different and can't do what they can
But belittle me you won't because I am what I am
I am amazing, a different pill in which your brain cannot cram
I'm different

Often inspired by pain inflicted by the inhumane
With hearts as black as the grain
My disability is silent but my bottled up rage
Got me running from my dreams a hundred miles on one leg
So how dare you try to remind me that I don't fit into your perception?
How dare you define me?
I'm beyond what you see as perfection

I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you
I'm a rising phoenix
I'll rise above you
