About Phoenix

In this song, Rocky looks deep into his career, the effects it’s having on him, and how things could’ve been much worse off. He looks at society as a whole, and at the people that compose it, and observes how we have/can destroy one another with nothing more than our words. As annotated in the outro, the Phoenix is seen to be a symbol of rebirth, this hinting at the possibility that Rocky is trying to reinvent himself. .

Phoenix Lyrics

[00:14.45] Bloody ink on my pad spelled suicide
[00:17.60] Michael Jackson even passed 'cause you scrutinized
[00:21.06] Fuck illuminati lies, say I'm lucified
[00:23.90] Baptized in the gutter, motherfucker you decide
[00:27.59] 'Cause the ride come with doors that be suicide
[00:31.26] Or the thighs on my whores, they be super-sized
[00:34.18] Good and bad having wars, nigga, choose a side
[00:37.27] Now, all hail to the Lord like you do to God
[00:41.52] Who am I? Lord Flacko
[00:43.82] Painting vivid pictures, call me Basquiat, Picasso
[00:47.17] Capo Head Hancho, now my following's colossal
[00:50.06] Ain't no boxer, Pacquiao, but got the chopper todo caso
[00:53.74] It's like you heard, God spoke, I've seen the ghetto gospel
[00:57.06] The choir like my reefer and the preacher got my eyes low
[01:00.41] Sister Mary Jane to make me sleep from singing high notes
[01:03.66] The bible or the rifle, goodnight folks
[01:08.70]
[01:20.99] Bloody ink on my pen spelled suicide
[01:24.36] Kurt Cobain even died 'cause you scrutinize
[01:28.05] It's a fine line between truth and lies
[01:30.83] Jesus Christ never lied, still was crucified
[01:34.84] That's why I never judge another nigga
[01:37.50] Life's a bitch, but that bitch in love with other niggas
[01:41.08] Three to a bed, sheets, no covers nigga
[01:44.14] Dirty kitchen, no supper in the cupboards nigga
[01:47.99] Sucker niggas, wassup with niggas?
[01:50.83] So my new attitude is like "Fuck them niggas!"
[01:54.28] I grew up with niggas but don't fuck with niggas
[01:57.51] I don't trust them niggas, ain't got no love for niggas
[02:00.96] Had the gold grills shining like them southern niggas
[02:04.25] Kept it trilla, now the whole world fuckin' with us
[02:07.56] Meanwhile, you treated all of us like other niggas
[02:10.82] Now, your world is in my palm, take cover niggas
[02:15.39]
[02:27.46] If I shall ever fall, Lord pick me up
[02:31.03] Ever since a baby, two deuce in sippy cups
[02:34.82] Ever since them diapers and my zip-me-ups
[02:37.65] Now I'm walking on my own, y'all, wish me luck
[02:39.60] Where do we lie
[02:42.80] Tell me where do we stand
[02:46.31] Where do we go
[02:48.82] It's all part of the plan
[02:52.93] Where do we lie
[02:56.19] Tell me where do we stand
[02:59.88] Where do we go
[03:02.37] It's all part of the plan
[03:04.53]
