Philosopher King - The Phoenix Lyrics

Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand (Yeah)
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend (Yeah, yeah)
The mere fact I'm up in this booth
With more truth than proof, I knew
Since a youth was chosen to
Be the "bestest" you's of you
Pay it forward, be of use
Genuine, don't play for fool
Said I had "anger issues"
Scowl just like my father do
Momma prayed my name be BIG
Never knew what she meant
Nowadays I want respect
Death tried me for my neck
From them pictures should be dead
Tried to tell me they rather be shot
There's just something about that blade
Gets too close and personal
To be real I wanna be paid
Pandemic to a bandemic
Earned bands every month
I was doing extra
From Dashin to doors, focused brother
Moving solid, everything else got blocked off
Ben Wallace, prioritizes, getting out undrafted
Champion turned All-Timer
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand (Yeah)
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend (Yeah, yeah)
Hearts on sleeve, layers OD
Who I give love to? Exclusivity
Rare is the breed, logic's the game
Will to succeed, apart of my nature
Need some pressure, the ground may fissure
Trying to evolve and remain this nigga
Timeless picture lapse for Mr. Perfect
Perplexed by the shits
Diamonds are an understatement
DDP, face to the pavement
Head down so you know I'm grinding
Tell it by the few descriptions
Niggas who got it will act like it's missing
Niggas who got it, opposite of snitching
Ain't no telling bout a nigga business
With none in the way, going to the distance
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand (Yeah)
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend (Yeah, yeah)

Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
Still we arise magnificent
What you see, what you getting in? (Yeah)
Will power, or an empty hand
When it come to demand
Know you gotta be the man
Win, lose, comprehend
Rose from the dead again (Yeah)
Rise from the ashes
The Phoenix here (Yeah, yeah)
Through trial and turbulence
