The Phoenix
Unveiling Life's Struggles: E-Town Concrete's Phoenix Perspective
Lyrics
So I take another step, and one more breath
Expressing the continuation of life by taking steps and breathing, despite being closer to death.
Closer to death. there's things going on in this
Referencing the stressful events occurring in the world.
World that got me stressed. lately I find myself
The speaker finds themselves introspective, seeking deeper understanding within.
Searching my soul. looking for signs of life,
Searching for vitality or signs of life amid a cold and harsh environment.
A warmth in the cold. I'm young and restless
Feeling youthful, unsettled, and pressured by others to give in.
And they want me to fold. I'm hard headed, I
Refusing to conform to expectations or follow orders blindly.
Ain't never did shit I was told. I get too mad too
The speaker gets angry quickly over various issues.
Fast over too much shit, but I put too much heart
Despite getting upset easily, the speaker passionately invests emotion into their words.
Into the words I spit. maybe I'm too proud,
Admitting to possibly having excessive pride or arrogance.
Maybe I scream too loud...but what goes in,
Actions and emotions have consequences; what's internal will eventually surface.
Must come out. and I'm hurting inside. I can't
Experiencing inner pain but concealing it, possibly due to pride.
Show it. obstructed by pride. I ain't being hard I
Not deliberately tough, but unsure why vulnerability isn't expressed.
Just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if I live or
Expressing a disregard for the future, indifferent to living or dying.
I die. who comes first? you not before i. I'm still
Putting oneself before others, prioritizing self-interest over others.
A ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those
Disregarding those who oppose or act in a demeaning manner.
Who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. I
The speaker lacks time for negative influences, focusing solely on personal objectives.
Ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. I chose.
Choosing to prioritize personal goals over distractions or obstacles.
C'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines.
Comparing the depth of the speaker's lyrics to another's superficial writing.
You're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime.
Differentiating commitment levels, emphasizing lifelong dedication over temporary engagement.
Let a brother try to come between me and mine.
Asserting willingness to fiercely protect personal interests from interference.
I'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. that's
Expressing readiness to resort to extreme measures to protect and provide for loved ones.
The deal and that's for real, by any means. am I
Questioning the morality of desiring a more affluent life.
Wrong because I want the finer things in life?
Asserting determination to conquer the world, striving for success.
Hell no. take this world by storm.
Expressing a desire for a taste of success or achievement.
All I ever wanted was a taste of. all I ever wanted
Yearning for something desired but unattainable.
Was a piece of what I could not have.
