Phoenix Songtext
von Junk

Have you ever lost it and then gained it back?
Lost it all again and be okay with that?
That is growth,that is wisdom, that′s a sacred fact
Be grateful for every single situation, some ain't made to last
"Regret is for the weak" is what the wise man told me
Every L I took in peace, up on this mic stand
Boasting about my trials and tribulations

As a child through immigration, couldn′t communicate
Felt clueless like I was with the language
Resided in some basements
But like the phoenix, I was rising up out of the fire I was making
Never did no Bible, uh-uh
But writing in these pages made me feel alive
The irony is I'm dying for it lately
Really dying for it lately


Driving a Mercedes was the dream, but it was too shallow
Driving myself crazy over screens, holding a busted paddle
No direction, had to reconfigure my whole ethos
Material wealth never did it for me like most people
Watched my friend puncture his skin with a dope needle
Letting go is so peaceful if you let it
Reaching for the heavens
Left the city I couldn't be where she intended

Every time I leave, another fucking piece of me is shredded
Get it?
Got her initials etched in my skin, but I′m leaving those
As a reminder that I′m dead to her now, I guess she's seeing ghosts
No need to speak in code
Here to spill the tea, just steep it slow
I′ve been out of cigganeers, although I feel I need a smoke
Back to the bottom, dwelling on highlights, the irony

Told me she listened to "Circles," but I was telling her I'm spiraling
Admiring the beauty that this situation brung
Vindication′s done
Rather mitigate than judge this little angel that was once
Be patient, do not run unless the race has just begun
Finish and follow through with faster pace
Bringing bread to the table was on my mind, what a basket case
With a dash of mood swings, sadly, it was my happy place


Can't get enough
Can′t get enough of you
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can′t get enough of you
