Phenomenal

I am phenomenal
With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
Won't stop until I'm phenomenal
I am phenomenal
Whatever all that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
But I would never say
Oh it's impossible
'Cause I'm gonna be
Phenomenal
Free the ignoring person

Unstoppable, unpoppable, thought-bubbles
Untoppable, thoughtful juggernaut that'll
Stomp you in the first obstacles I'm drawn to
And when the going got rough
Show 'em what I thought that was the worst
Little sissy, who the fuck taught you how to persevere?
There ain't no situation that you ever had to respond to less adverse
The messiest thing you've ever gone through is your purse, yeah
I don't try like hell but I might as well
Hanging up like a shelf
Gotta keep growing with it, evolve 'cause
You can keep throwing shit at the wall but you're gonna find
That nothing's gonna stick until you apply yourself
Time to slip in that zone 'til I find myself
Inside the realm of the unknown and bold to go
In the waters where nobody else has gone before
Or willing to go uncharted feeling me so far
I'm feeling myself I'm a giant sometimes
I gotta remind myself that I am

I am phenomenal
With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
Won't stop until I'm phenomenal
I am phenomenal
Whatever all that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
But I would never say
Oh it's impossible
'Cause I'm gonna be
Phenomenal
Free the ignoring person

Let me self-empower you
When you're down and they're trying to clown the fuck out of you
When you feel like you're running out of fuel
I'll show you how to use doubters fuel
Convert it to gunpowder too
Now what you do is put the match in the charcoal fluid
Put a spark to it like Martha Stewart barbeque it
Ah screw it, feel like you wanna hit that wall then do it
Punch through it, just cock back, put your all into it
Now you can take that rage and make that what you raised
Never take back what you say if you stay
Trapped in your brain, engage in this fuel gauge match
Ready to scrap ASAP
Take your fist to his bones
Show Biggie who's smallest, you're Christopher Wallace
Yeah, picture him all as plastic and foam
And it lays flat where you put your dinner plate
Set it, sit it on like a placemat

I am phenomenal
With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
Won't stop until I'm phenomenal
I am phenomenal
Whatever all that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
But I would never say
Oh it's impossible
'Cause I'm gonna be
Phenomenal

Go, step into the unknown
And find yourself your glory
Free the ignoring person

Got a crooked mouth with no shut off valve
Can't even cut the power to it but it's what allowed
Me to come up out from under the fucking ground
'Cause I worked my butt off now it's a subject
That I don't know how to shut up about
'Cause I stuck it out like a motherfucker
Turned a tie, I respond, hit when I got shoved around
You're gonna have non-believers but when you're beyond
Believe you find, but you don't wonder how
Care to how you live but are you prepared to give
More than you get? I'd put it twice
What you get back from shit than what you sacrifice
Barely is half, never give a fuck
Rap is my shit but it's like my shield
At the same time I wield I'm a knife in this wheel
Sometimes I feel just like B-Real from Cypress Hill
How I can just kill a cypher, survive a skill
I rhyme like life is still an uphill climb
Ready to face any challenge waiting
'Cause hatred is salivation, I'm waging retaliation
Look what I have built, reputation is validation
The only thing I'm capable of making is amazing
The only thing you're capable of making is a false statement
An accusation
I'm legendary status, in fact, that is the only way
You'll ever be able to say
"John Legend is making an allegation"
I write with the left
Same hand I hold the mic with as I fight to the death
'Til my last breath, man, it's a move who the best man is
Surveillance, all guards are the only ones left standing
In the end, but I ain't gonna be the only one with the advantage
Of knowing what it's like to be southpaw
'Cause you can bet your ass you'll be left-handed 'cause I am

I am phenomenal
With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
Won't stop until I'm phenomenal
I am phenomenal
Whatever all that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
But I would never say
Oh it's impossible
'Cause I'm gonna be
Phenomenal
