Phoenix Landing Revisited

Every, every, every, every day

Every day cooking up like it's my job

Keep producing till them accolades on the wall

Move with the principles, play within the law

When it's time to work you gotta do your utmost

World-class chef, serving duck roast

Nowadays everybody wants it free

My job's making beats and putting flames to it, let's go

Reading Paulo Coelho probably how we sound so mellow

Was riding down Trapelo thinking how they found Othello

Riddled with guilt and regret, shame the cherry on top

Was trying to defund police, not to bury a cop

Yeah I still read the news, I get weary a lot

Before I be in the stu, that prepares me to jot

Doubting myself I couldn't, think a scarier thought

Betting against myself I couldn't like Terry got caught

Back to the guilt and regret, gotta keep 'em away

The next pandemic will be mental, I needed to pray

Spent too much energy hearing what demons will say

We was in debt for our sins, needed Jesus to pay

Sun I shine like I'm Ray or Alan the Alchemist

Staying fly like draft day, I'm on the Falcons list

Finna be wildin' on Jimmy Fallon when the album hits

And if you question the love, go tally what the outcome is

Just a simple guy, eating shrimp shumai

Never been to Dubai

Known to let the pendulum fly

Matter fact, the pendulum swing

Royalty checks come in pounds, it's a Kensington thing

We got the champion sound, ascending king thing

Excalibur what he found, that's wedding ring bling

No longer stoned as we ascend to the throne

Vic city, a bro I've known, so I'm never alone

All it takes to propel is just a simple yes

But they want everything else, call it infinite jest

The music, hooping, my girl, that's what's lifting my stress

It's just us against the world, will dividends stretch?

Back then was bad like Mike Jack and Hoyt Schermerhorn

Back in 2016, your boy was burning more

I ain't judge, guess for some the roids are working for

Our bodyguards search the team, won't bring no percs on tour

Forget the ragers, our tours more like a book signing

A phoenix rise like the sun, get it, a Book signing

Plus the pressure was real but never took Vicodin

1,300 degrees so hot could cook diamonds

Queen-side attack was revealed, but that's my rook sniping

How scary thunder can feel, but never shook lightning

Electric flash as he kneeled, the heavens look frightening

Unleash the passion concealed, cause what he cooked likened

To symbiosis with algae and fungi

So now we one with the sky, enlightened

Took the nitrogen out the lichen

I hear stakes are heightened, Holyfield, Tyson

My eyes open, I'm awake, but what's the purpose?

You take the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

You do the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

And your job is just to do the job

My eyes open, I'm awake, but what's the purpose?

You take the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

You do the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

And your job is just to do the job

The thoughts he have might make you end up with a slit wrist

And this not for kids shit

This is for that real nigga that's sitting in the closet

And he got the gun to his head, ready to pull the trigger shit

Cause he doesn't know how to feed his kids

Everybody know this is the real shit from the hood

We looking at the cops but they don't really see us as

Human (speak no evil)

And neither does the constitution

Everybody doesn't want to talk about the shit that he's pulling

It's the knowledge that's in his mind

Everybody just take his time

I'm telling you, hooked like cooked-crack, they take the lines

(This shit good)

But then they take the lines

Cause they void the lines just to break the lines

And you define the lines from school time

Cause there's a pipeline to jail-time (they already knew that)

But they don't wanna talk about how they ring bells in jail

Just like they do in school times

You really just grooming him now

You grooming him from 12 years old

Everybody knows he's worrying about being out in the cold

Trying to throw snowballs with his homies though and

Play a little football and skate around the park though

And play with the dogs in the neighborhood

But all you think about is him

Growing up and really trying to smoke weed and fuck bitches

And do shit that you think that you did

Cause you did what he did and your mom did what he did

What she did, why he did?

And why am I being persecuted for what that him man what that he did?

Yeah, it's just as confusing

This is your opportunity to take something and do it

But I bet you won't use it

But I was the same person back then

I was the same person back when

But as the same person I can't remember him, damn

So I guess I really can't talk about him again

But this new person stands for real morals, real tall, real strong

I'm telling you his storm, his reign will be so long

I'm telling you his reign has to prolong

And if you really think he ain't strong, come get this

Huh, we could get this on

Toe to toe, bar to bar, flow for flow, it's nothing to me

Everybody knows I got the jimmy hip to me

It's sitting in the closet

Boy, I'm a fucking prophet

When you talk about the money, put it on me

I'll make the profits, double it down, pick it up

Everybody, lift it up, I'm coming like a Mack truck

I'm that jacked, just to pick him up

And if you feeling down and pressed now

I'm telling you, listen, this shit will pick you up

And if you really need a brother, I'm right, right here

Hit me up

And if the devil's knocking at your door

Call God, he's dead near to fight him now

Huh, he has no true power, just distraction

Everything that you do is just an action

The actions are impacting

And everybody knows there's God in your life that's really lacking

Just make it happen

All you gotta do is drop to a knee and pray to him

Everybody knows that he will really, really quiet

All the many, many men, he feeding all the children

And everybody knows it's just him, it's just him

He give you words to say every time I really just

Let my mouth open up, the thoughts just open up

Everybody know it's kinda like the sea

It's divided when you think of me

Half the left side is right, the right side is really me

I'm trying to figure out who I really be

Everybody knows I'm really dark but you ain't seeing me

It's too dark, I'm not even spotting me

You can't see the white in me

Everybody know it's really frightening me

And I'm really standing in the same closet, B

There's four walls surrounding me

So I'm swinging but I'm only fighting me

And these are the thoughts that are consuming me

Weight leaves

And then the hate leaves

There is no debating me

If you really think about what's goin' on inside the G

I said it before

The best version is yet to come

And I hope you understand this next

The best version is yet to run, done

My eyes open, I'm awake, but what's the purpose?

You take the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

You do the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

And your job is just to do the job

My eyes open, I'm awake, but what's the purpose?

You take the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

You do the job, you do the job, do the job, you do the job

And your job is just to do the job

Every, every, every, every day

Every day cooking up like it's my job

Keep producing till them accolades on the wall

Move with the principles, play within the law

When it's time to work you gotta do your utmost

World-class chef, serving duck roast

Nowadays everybody wants it free

My job's making beats and putting flames to it, let's go
