Phoenix

Yeah…

You thought I was finished?

Nah.

I was just in the fire.

You can’t hold me down, I’m a fuckin’ monster

Built from the pain, yeah I paid that cost, bruh

Had to burn first just to be reborn

From the ashes I rise, now I’m hard to ignore

Yeah—

The phoenix must burn to emerge

I bled in the dark, now I’m makin’ it hurt

You can’t hold me down, nah you don’t got the nerve

I died inside once… now I’m back even worse

I had to lose myself to remember my name

Had to walk through hell just to sharpen the flame

Smiles fake, hands out, everyone changed

When you’re down they vanish, when you’re up they claim

I was buried in doubt, yeah the dirt was thick

Every loss carved scars, now I learn from it

They tried boxin’ me in, tried to chain my wrists

Didn’t know the cage just created this

Pressure made diamonds, pain made drive

Late nights talkin’ to God, no replies

Heart went cold, soul went quiet

That’s when monsters are born in the silence

You can’t hold me down, I’m a fuckin’ monster

Built from the pain, yeah I paid that cost, bruh

Had to burn first just to be reborn

From the ashes I rise, now I’m hard to ignore

Yeah—

The phoenix must burn to emerge

I bled in the dark, now I’m makin’ it hurt

You can’t hold me down, nah you don’t got the nerve

I died inside once… now I’m back even worse

I watched bridges burn while I stood in the smoke

Had faith in myself when I lost all hope

Every scar got a story, every tear got a quote

Every time I broke down, I rebuilt with a goal

They prayed on my downfall, I fed off the hate

Turned wounds into wisdom, delay into fate

I don’t fear the fire, I became the blaze

I don’t run from storms, I control the rain

Had to shed my skin, had to kill the old me

That version was weak, this one don’t bleed slowly

Heart made of iron, mind cold and focused

I don’t chase revenge—I just rise and stay potent

Sometimes you gotta die inside to live

Gotta lose everything just to see what you is

If the world didn’t break me, it wouldn’t exist

This beast in my chest with a permanent fist

You can’t hold me down, I’m a fuckin’ monster

Say my name now, feel the ground tremble under

Had to burn first just to be reborn

From the ashes I rise—yeah the crown’s been earned

The phoenix must burn to emerge

I paid every due, yeah I learned what it’s worth

You can’t hold me down, nah this ain’t your turn

I died inside once… now the whole world burns

I’m not who I was.

I’m what survived.

Remember that.
