The Phoenix
My daddy gave me the drive to do my best to win
Every time that I lost I wanna fight again
Taste of blood in my mouth was just another lesson
When we tripped to the ground could only take a second
He taught me never to let my fear control me
If I did one day, that shit would own me
Triple rail's became my own liberator
Made a mountain of pain into an elevator
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly...
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
So I pull out the bullet caught up in my wing
Dust the dirt off my shoulder and get back up again
I met the devil, I told 'em, baby keep it comin'
I need the fire, the fuel to get my engines running
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
You can't, can't, ca-ca-ca-ca-can't tell me to sleep
You can't hold me back, there's no stopping me
You can't, can't, ca-ca-ca-ca-can't tell me to wait
You can't hold me down, I'm like a hurricane
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
Every step I take I climb
Higher, higher
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
No I ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
Ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
Ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
Every time that I lost I wanna fight again
Taste of blood in my mouth was just another lesson
When we tripped to the ground could only take a second
He taught me never to let my fear control me
If I did one day, that shit would own me
Triple rail's became my own liberator
Made a mountain of pain into an elevator
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly...
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
So I pull out the bullet caught up in my wing
Dust the dirt off my shoulder and get back up again
I met the devil, I told 'em, baby keep it comin'
I need the fire, the fuel to get my engines running
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
You can't, can't, ca-ca-ca-ca-can't tell me to sleep
You can't hold me back, there's no stopping me
You can't, can't, ca-ca-ca-ca-can't tell me to wait
You can't hold me down, I'm like a hurricane
Gonna rise from the ashes, I was born to do or die
From the smoke and the fire, the Phoenix is gonna fly
Higher, higher,
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
Every step I take I climb
Higher, higher
Every breath I take I fly
Higher, higher
No I ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
Ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
Ain't gonna rest till I'm gone
