Rising Up (Like a Phoenix)

Coming down like thunder, in the night with the rhyme,
Never stopping me, never backing up on the dime.
It's the King running lines, going out getting mine's.
Old school new school, it's the sign of the times.
Flowing on the mic, and I'm never backing down,
You can't win a battle, you'll never take my crown.
Knock you down to the ground, you won't make a sound,
You can't come around, from the lost and found.
Rising up from the ashes, this is album number six,
Deep in the mix, back with new tricks.
Words are my weapon, forget stones and sticks,
You better listen up, or you'll be mixed with the bricks.
(HOOK)
I know you think you got me, but you're never going to win,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
You got me on the mic, and you think you're talking tough,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
My eyes on the prize, and you better back away,
When you think you got me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
Hip Hop in my blood, deep in my soul,
You can't hold me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
Rising up like a phoenix, like a fire in the sky,
Be afraid, you better close your eyes.
Here's a word to the wise, ain't telling no lies,
When I beat you in a battle, no one gonna hear your cries.
The minute you get up, you're gonna lose your seat,
Battle after battle, you're always getting beat.
My jam on repeat, in your car down the street,
Can you feel the heat, each time that we meet?
Please listen to me, get little joy from your pain,
I got great distain, now you're playin' my game.
Step to me once, and you'll never be the same,
King B.A.V. now shout out my name.
(HOOK)
I know you think you got me, but you're never going to win,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
You got me on the mic, and you think you're talking tough,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
My eyes on the prize, and you better back away,
When you think you got me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
Hip Hop in my blood, deep in my soul,
You can't hold me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
Coming down like thunder, in the night with the rhyme,
Never stopping me, never backing up on the dime.
It's the King running lines, going out getting mine's.
Old school new school, it's the sign of the times.
(HOOK)
I know you think you got me, but you're never going to win,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
You got me on the mic, and you think you're talking tough,
Every time you knock me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
My eyes on the prize, and you better back away,
When you think you got me down, I'm rising up like a Phoenix.
Hip Hop in my blood, deep in my soul,
You can't hold me down, I'm rising up like a phoenix.
