The Phoenix
E.Town Concrete Lyrics

So I take another step, and one more breath
I am moving forward in life, one step at a time, and continuing to breathe.

Closer to death. there's things going on in this World that got me stressed.
As each day goes by, I am getting closer to death. There are a lot of things happening in this world that make me stressed and anxious.

lately I find myself Searching my soul. looking for signs of life, A warmth in the cold.
Recently, I have been examining myself inwardly, searching for any signs of life, as I feel cold and empty on the inside.

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 am young and full of energy, and there are people who want me to give up. I am stubborn and have never done anything that others told me to do.

I get too mad too Fast over too much shit, but I put too much heart Into the words I spit.
I tend to get angry too quickly over minor things, but I put my whole heart and soul into the lyrics I write and sing.

maybe I'm too proud, Maybe I scream too loud...but what goes in, Must come out.
I may be overly proud and loud, but I cannot help expressing myself in this manner as it is simply a reflection of what is within me.

and I'm hurting inside. I can't Show it. obstructed by pride.
I am in pain, but I cannot bring myself to reveal it to others due to my sense of pride and fear of appearing weak.

I ain't being hard I Just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if I live or I die.
I am not intentionally being difficult; I just feel lost and unsure of what comes next. I am indifferent about the future, whether I live or die, as I am struggling to cope with the present.

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.
In my eyes, I am the most important person right now, and I am far from achieving my goals. I do not care about those who oppose me or those who act in an unsavory manner.

I Ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. I chose. C'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines.
I do not have the time or energy to waste on others who may distract me from my goals. I am focused on what I want to achieve, and I am completely invested in my craft. My words come from the heart and are a reflection of my life, not just mere rhymes on a page.

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.
You may be in this for the long haul, but I am in this for life. I will not let anyone come between me and my loved ones or my passion.

I'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. that's The deal and that's for real, by any means.
I am willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means lying, cheating, or stealing, to provide for my loved ones and pursue my passion. This is my reality, and I will work tirelessly to achieve my goals.

am I Wrong because I want the finer things in life? Hell no. take this world by storm.
There is nothing wrong with wanting better things in life, and I will strive for that with all I have got. I am ready to take on the world with all its challenges and emerge victorious.

All I ever wanted was a taste of. all I ever wanted Was a piece of what I could not have.
All I ever wanted was a chance to experience the things I could not have before, and all I ever wanted was a fraction of what I dream of achieving.
