The Phoenix

So I take another step, and one more breath closer to death. There's things going on in this world that got me stressed. Lately I find myself searching my soul. Looking for signs of life, a warmth in the cold. I'm young and restless and they want me to fold. I'm hard headed, I ain't never did shit I was told. I get too mad too fast over too much shit, put too much heart into the words I spit. Maybe I'm too proud, maybe I scream to loud...but what goes in, must come out. And I'm hurting inside. I can't show it. Obstructed by pride. I ain't being hard I just don't know why. Fuck tomorrow if I live or I die. Who comes first? You not before I. I'm still a ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. I ain't got time for ya'll. Focus my goals. I chose. C'mon now, you just write rhymes...I recite lifelines. You're in it for the long haul...I'm in it for a lifetime. Let a brother try to come between me and mine. I'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. That's the deal and that's for real, by any means. Am I wrong because I want the finer things in life? Hell no. Take this world by storm. All I ever wanted was a taste of. All I ever wanted was a piece of what I could not have.
