The Phoenix

so i take another step, and one more breath closer to death. there's things going on in this world that got me stressed. lately i find myself searching my soul. looking for signs of life, a warmth in the cold. i'm young and restless and they want me to fold. i'm hard headed, i ain't never did shit i was told. i get too mad too fast over too much shit, but i put too much heart into the words i spit. maybe i'm too proud, maybe i scream too loud...but what goes in, must come out. and i'm hurting inside. i can't show it. obstructed by pride. i ain't being hard i just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if i live or i die. who comes first? you not before i. i'm still a ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. i ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. i chose. c'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines. you're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime.
