가사
uh,
yeah,
things gotta get betta
Uh,
(Verse 1)
In the projects where the streets ain't kind,
Mama's on drugs, daddy's doing time,
Raised by my grandparents, their love divine,
But the struggle's real, in the grind we'd climb.
(Verse 2)
Hangin' with gangsters, no options around,
Dodging cops in the darkness man hittin the ground,
Hiding in my room, tears streaming, out of down my face
Praying for a change, for a ray of light, a little of God's Grace.
(Chorus)
Rise of the Phoenix, from the ashes I rise,
When life's burned me down, I'll touch the skies,
No more tears, no more cries,
Rise of the Phoenix, watch me fly high.
(Verse 3)
Watching friends fall, either to jail or the grave,
Running scared, don't know how I'm going to save,
Myself from the clutches, trying to be brave,
But the fear inside, like an unending wave.
From the freedom of darkness is what I crave.
(Verse 4)
Found a narrow path, through another man's glare,
In the church's stone walls, I felt God's care,
Love from strangers, showed me there's more out there,
A glimmer of hope, in the midst of such despair.
(Verse 3)
Watching friends fall, either to jail or the grave,
Running scared, don't know how I'm going to save,
Myself from the clutches, trying to be brave,
But the fear inside, like an unending wave.
(Verse 4)
Found a narrow path, through another man's glare,
In the church's stone walls, I felt God's care,
Love from strangers, showed me there's more out there,
A glimmer of hope, in the midst of such despair.
(Chorus)
Rise of the Phoenix, from the ashes I rise,
When life's burned me down, I'll touch the skies,
No more tears, no more cries,
Rise of the Phoenix, watch me fly high. No more painful days.
No more painful days.
(Verse 5)
Now I wanna lead, show the lost the way,
How far I've come, from that dark yesterday,
From the path of destruction, I've made my way,
Blessed and amazed, for every single day.
(Chorus)
Rise of the Phoenix, from the ashes I rise,
When life's burned me down, I'll touch the skies,
No more tears, no more cries,
Rise of the Phoenix, watch me fly high.
(Verse 6)
Now I stand tall, a tough beacon of light,
Guiding others in darkness through their darkest tripe,
I've found my purpose, my soul is alright,
In the Rise of the Phoenix, it's my plight
(Chorus)
Rise of the Phoenix, from the ashes I rise,
When life's burned me down, I'll touch the skies,
No more tears, no more cries,
Rise of the Phoenix, watch me fly high.
