Phoenix
Octagen & M.I.D.O.R. Lyrics

Started out not even knowing where I should start
I began writing this song without any direction or plan.

Put the pen to the paper my story straight from the heart
I wrote this song purely based on my personal experiences and emotions.

I gave y'all my soul told you that I want it all
I poured my heart and soul into this song and expressed my desire for success.

Fuck the double XL I'd rather live my life large
I don't care about being recognized by mainstream media, I want to live a fulfilling life on my own terms.

Now my value going up I'm like walking surcharge
My worth as an artist is increasing to the point where everything I do has added value.

Had holes in my draws now CK hold up my balls
I used to wear cheap underwear, now I can afford designer brands.

Got my money for dutches straight out the Dunkin tip jar
I worked hard for my money and made it through unconventional means.

Better than my boss she cracked the safe but caught a charge
I am more successful and accomplished than my former boss, who resorted to criminal activity.

I got stories about things that you would never believe
I have had unique and unbelievable experiences that have shaped me as a person and artist.

High speed chase, another cousin locked in the bink
I have had close encounters with danger and crime in my personal life.

Another family stain can't be washed in the sink
My family has had dark history and secrets that cannot be easily resolved or forgotten.

Another jail bird I hope that n**** can sing
Another person in my life has gone to jail, and I hope they can make something positive out of their experience.

Now that I'm back in the booth, know that I'm really that dude
Now that I'm recording music again, I want everyone to know that I am talented and respected in the industry.

Now that I'm making some moves, getting myself to the loot
As I'm advancing in my career, I am making more money and achieving financial success.

My homie done picked up grenades
My friend has acquired dangerous weapons.

No need to let the tool loose
We don't need to resort to violence despite having access to weapons.

Pull the pin like a loose tooth
We are ready to use the grenades if necessary.

David Blaine how I getaway
I am able to escape difficult situations like a magician.

Man, I'm still around like ash on white tees
Despite adversity, I have persevered and am still present in the industry.

Lil momma want to be my wifey
A woman is interested in having a romantic relationship with me.

Coolin' now cash checks and make beats
I am now able to relax, make money, and focus on creating music.

I don't want to deal with the drama no more
I am tired of dealing with negative situations and people in my life.

Got no more time for these hoes
I am not interested in pursuing romantic or sexual relationships with certain women.

Last year being broke
I experienced financial hardship in the past year.

Sleep n***** think they woke, um
People who aren't truly aware of their surroundings think they are enlightened.

Fuck 'em all I'm the goat, bitch
I am confident in my abilities and consider myself a great artist.

Fuck 'em all if they ghosted
I don't care about people who have abandoned me or ignored me in the past.

I'm back again like Back again like Solstice
I have returned to the industry and am making a resurgence.

They taking notes like Post-it
Other artists are paying attention to my music and learning from it.

Posted up I'm rolling
I am relaxed and enjoying the moment.

Tweaking all my flows and
I am constantly refining and improving my music.

Trying to live in the moment, but you know this
I am attempting to appreciate the present and not worry too much about the future, but it's easier said than done.

On the come up I don't know 'bout you
I am in the process of getting more successful and I don't know if you are too.

Heat check bet I'm gonna shoot
I'm going to take a risk and see if it pays off.

Couldn't pick and choose before I found my groove
I struggled to figure out my path before I discovered my passion.

Take a walk inside my shoes
Try to understand and empathize with my experiences.

Roller coaster how my life went now we here and we toasting
My life has had its ups and downs, but right now we are celebrating our success.

Took me more than eight months
It took me a long time and a lot of work to get where I am now.

I had to get some more focus
I needed to improve my concentration and determination to achieve my goals.

Had to deal with no closure of course excuses were bogus
I had to face the consequences of my past mistakes and accept that I couldn't make excuses anymore.

Put competition on posters I'm never close to a forfeit
I am confident in my abilities and never give up or concede easily.

Tortoise in the race I'll fuck the snow bunnies if they gorgeous
I may not be the fastest to succeed, but I will still enjoy life and pursue my interests.

Sorry if I'm lawless just started the metamorphosis
I am changing and growing as a person, and I may make mistakes along the way.

Don't have a lot to say I can leave it to the chorus
I don't need to explain myself too much, my music speaks for itself.

I'm due for bigger portions according to league sources
I am deserving of more success and recognition, as said by people in the industry.

Yeah, it's Spoon n****
This song was made by Octagen and M.I.D.O.R., but I am also known as Spoon.
