The Phoenix lyrics

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.
let a brother try to come between me and mine.
i`ll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine.
that`s the deal and that`s for real, by any means.
am i wrong because i want the finer things in life?
hell no.
take this world by storm.

all i ever wanted was a taste of.
all i ever wanted was a piece of what i could not have.
