Mullin - Phoenix (feat. Dawn M) Lyrics

Looking back Shit was Mad when I was young
Mum was hardly home Dad was getting drunk
Living in some flats stacked up in the slums
Sitting in my gaff mans stabbed
Up on the front
Soaked it all up mind acting like a sponge
Before I learned to write man I had to learn to punch
School trips I stayed in class an couldnt come
Mum and dad broke they were lacking the funds
Brothers went to jail sister did aswell
No role models left had to figure shit myself
Chillin with my friends is the only thing that helped
From the same hood but we Lived in different realms
Some times it was good sometimes it was hell
Sometimes the good and bad were so entwined I couldnt tell
But wen its all you know you just kinda form a shell
Learning to adapt an Climb up if u fell
Life aint always easy
Sometimes it breaks you down
But you can be a phoenix
As rise up from the ground
Die, burn, Ash, rise
Fly, learn, adapt, survive
Die, burn, Ash, rise
Fly, learn, adapt, survive
Can never change the past or the fact I had it tough
No doubt i turned out A little bastard an a thug
Feds knew by my name from handling my bruvs
So I was getting pulled had em Slamming me in cuffs
Seeing bad stuff Family hooked on drugs
Gouching on the couch instead dancing in the clubs
Saw 1st hand the kinda Damage that it does
So I stopped shottin shit n Stuck to slangin bud
Mind seen sights that never went away
Like footprints in snow that....forever stayed
So my brain just changed .. Numb to pain
Looking for the sun while I'm stuck in the rain
But some say...sometime ya need to burn
Kill the old crop before seedin the earth
...Then you can grow ...itll be a rebirth
Free as bird .. phoenix of the world
Life aint always easy
Sometimes it breaks you down
But you can be a phoenix
As rise up from the ground
Die, burn, Ash, rise
Fly, learn, adapt, survive
Die, burn, Ash, rise
Fly, learn, adapt, survive
