Lyrics Phoenix - English Radio Edit - Benjamin Braxton

Aight, let's do it
Think you're alright

I don't think I really got it
I don't think that I can get over all of my problems
I've been thinking, who the fuck am I to disagree?
I heard I'm pretty dope so I guess I gotta oblige

Inside, I been plotting on a way that we can elevate
A massacre to chop up your skin I never hesitate
I put a lot of time into the craft, I make it resonate
I regulate with repetition, I could be the greatest

But half of me illogical, the other half elated
Practice on the pages that I got in my attendant mind
I minimise the ignorance so in a minute I make it relatable
Evade the negativity at all costs

Tryna find my way I'm feelin' so lost
Finally in the zone, I gotta focus
But that can be an issue, I'm addicted to the work
It's all I ever wanna do, pursue the purpose that I'm bleeding for

And need it more than pity man, than miniscule opinions
Picking apart the immaculate, happily apathetic and actually authentic
This sentence is sentimental,
Like the words are just a piece of my soul
Lord

I transcended to the artist that I wanna be
I demonstrate my dominance, a derilect with dialect
My etiquette is excellence, I dedicate my all to this
I solemnely swear that I seranade with selections
And different cadences to kill it

Really givin' that in this and anyone that wants the truth
Then we present to be identified, I live a meager life
I'm motivated by progession 'cause a year ago
Nobody paid attention to the kid

And I'm persistent with the effort, document my decoration
Dedicated to the death of me, definitely concerned
That I prefer to be a purist, not perjuring any verses
Only way to get it off of my chest, oh Lawd

If it's a problem I solve it privately, polish 'em off
I punish with powerful poems, compose a doper creation
Case and point I'm steadily provin' this ain't a lucid dream
I used to be infatuated, now it's just reality

I'm managing my temperament, my time to capitalise isn't infinite
The wisdom I'm attaining from trial and effort is priceless
I promise I'm putting the music before my sanity
Sing you a lullaby with alliteration and empathy
The lack of recognition is starting to fuel my energy
You know you made it when you receivin' hate from an enemy

Your relevance was never an option, here's the synopsis
Said I'm knockin' out whoever you considerin' the king
I'll kick him off the throne, I want it, I'ma take it as my property
And properly prepare to go to war with any challenger

Battle in Colosseums, people check for me to finish
Reminiscing of the legends that left remarkable legacies
I said that I'm ahead of my time, I am
You can never understand the head space I'm in

I live and I'm writing about it, giving a lyrical ballad
Workin' on findin' a balance, dealin' with every challenge
But it's a struggle,
Meticulously adjustin' my train of thought to be positive
Transform to a phoenix

And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!

And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it!

High stakes
Transform, we stand alone

High stakes
Transform, we stand alone
