paintriiip - PHOENIX (feat. GIHON THE LION & OFFICIAL ZAE) Lyrics

As the phoenix rises
He sprouts new feathers of flame
The hole he was in is still smoldering
With the ashes of his past pain
But the world is now ablaze in color
His darkness can no longer smother his light
It's brazen, it's bright
This phoenix is now ready to take flight

Lately I ain't got too many options
Nobody safe, so I gotta stay cautious
Weighing on my conscious, is making this money and staying the f*ck out a coffin
Lately I been thinking like "what the f*ck am I gonna do?"
Staying down here broke as f*ck? Who you kidding dude?
I wanna be a star, shedding light in some interviews
Tryna paint a picture maybe show the world some different hues
Cause the world that I know is so black and white
And the energy I'm feeling never really right
Tryna take a trip, maybe that shit gonna get me right
ATL to LAX or LSD just for the night
Do you know what it feels like?
To be tripping out your mind sober asking if it's real life?
Like if money is the mission, am I wasting time?
Time is an illusion but it's limited, ain't wasting mine
Hell nah, they won't take me out my element
Used to be invisible and now I am the elephant
Bitch I got dreams y'all just do this for the hell of it
I know I'm the shit you can tell by the smell of it
Yeah they hate me cause they do not understand
Then they want in on the master plan
Faking a smile just to act a fan
So solo dolo like f*ck is an ampersand?

Yeah
Zae
You know
Uh
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Got a little bit of hope in the dim light
Comin' in, dunkin' on the rim hype
Look how I'm balling when I walk up in this bitch like
Sorry momma yeah I know I ain't living right
Ooh yeah, you know I'm the man
Came in this bitch with a couple of bands
Got no intentions of breaking the plan
Me and paintriiip boy we called on demand
Little different, yeah I quit with the xans
Watching and waiting collecting these fans
Dash been digital doin the dance
Better think twice when I give you the chance
Like f*ck em, eating these rappers like gushers
Imma take off I put that on my mother
Came from the bottom callin from down under
I don't really want all the fame and the money
This is my passion my love and my spirit
Listen to me when I'm spitting these lyrics
Drop me a tab and see visions of millions
I'm feelin this shit burning deep here within me
You know that I'm gonna remember the game
I came from gutta, they mention my name
Zae like no other, you know how I hang
Listen to me, can you hear all my pain?

Yeah, can you hear all my pain
Can you feel my pain?
It's Zae, paintriiip, yeah
