Peter Rider - Phoenix. Lyrics

People say I can't rap for shit
But actually I'm the rap top gear shift
And that I can't sing at all
Well there you go

I may not have the best voice
But imma use the one I got
To create a product with a meaning for me
Cause I do this for myself, so keep your opinion kid

What happened to the days when
We were just happy cause we had no clue, but we were
When did it all change? Why did we let it change?
Do you remember first grade?

When did we change a doll for a phone?
A toy car for a laptop? When did we stood up?
And started running when couldn't even crawl
And then we don't know who to blame when we fall?

Water turned to rum. And breathing to smoking.
A skyscraper isn't the highest state, and love means just f*cking
How do I look? What do I wear? Is what matters
Beauty is skinny, white and rich, and friends are the liars

We couldn't stop but had to grow up
Unfortunately that's how life is, we can't stop time
And we have f*cked it up a couple of times
But are we gonna change, be better or keep being just trash?

Yea I've been on the low-key, dreaming and working
Cause the ones who don't know your history may say you're weak
But the ones who have seen the struggle, know how strong you truly is

You can try to tear me down
You can bury all my plans
Lie to me, make me believe
Destroy my faith, call me names
You can try and break my heart
In pieces just like glass
But from the ashes I will rise
Like a phoenix now

I've been hiding myself for some time now
But I ain't gonna let the superficial bury my plans
So what's the best thing to wear but a smile?
Cause the best thing is a confidence, with humor and being smart

It's better to be alone than with bad company and friends
So that's why I don't talk to some of you, you're a mess
A mess, more intelligent, have you thought of that?
Thinking all my songs are for you, I don't even remember you, sad

So what's all this hate even about?
You think you're smart cause of all you have
Money, bank accounts, the books you've read
Aint gonna show you what love is, cause you've never had this

One can try and kiss me every time we're in the club
Other can block me cause he can't take some bars
But at the end I'm unbothered in my house
Getting something good out of all the past

I've become wiser over time, I'm alive
Think I'll fall again; but it's done baby
I'm good enough and beautiful, it's all normal
What you lost? You lost me now, este es el final.

Yea I've been on the mainstream, working and creating
Cause dreams will only come true if we make them happen
And nothing is impossible unless we say it's not but that's our fault

You can try to tear me down
You can bury all my plans
Lie to me, make me believe
Destroy my faith, call me names
You can try and break my heart
In pieces just like glass
But from the ashes I will rise
Like a phoenix now

It's now the time to switch it around
I have just understood and sympathized
I'm gonna fight with fire and sword
For every single thing I believe on

My confidence is so heavy-weight
I'm confident I don't have to hesitate
I have finally bettered myself
Got out of beneath the surface

If you don't look for trouble, don't look for me
I'll knock you out, I'm warrior, can you believe?
I'm like an earthquake or a hurricane
I can shake the problems off and blew them away

Talk what you want cause you have mouth
I don't really care as I know exactly who I am
Made my own way to the top one time
I'm going to be running this show now

State my point of view was the start of the change
People really needed to see how I truly thought and felt
They can say whatever they want about me
They're making me popular while I don't give a shit

If you know that you can't channel my life
Don't even try to watch TV at this time
It's finally got the time for a change
First I had to break all them chains

Then threw all the society dust away
And brick by brick built-up my way
I have no more ache
I've already corrected all my mistakes

I've learned all this by myself
I didn't need the help of someone else
The last thing I have to say
It's just me all the way
And no, I don't wanna be anyone else
I'm not done, this is not my last
I'm being here forever, this is my start...
Esto fue todo lo que tuve que decir
Sobre mi vida, sobre el amor y sobre mi
Gracias por ser parte de mi alma
Gracias por darme la oportunidad de cumplir mi sueño
Qué esperas por los tuyos, ve tras ellos....
Peter Rider, this is everything I said
