Phoenix
Trisha Paytas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I worked as hard just to have no chain
Don't play no games
Got my own mind and my own way
Blood sweat and tears
Wipe 'em off then I put it in gear
Setting flames to all of these fears
If your with me let me hear you say
We gonna dance through the fire
When it gets tough we go higher
Baby, I'm crying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Step back
Don't you come at me, like that
Call me the champion
Hell yeah!
Ain't ever dying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh-oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh-oh
It's tough love, out here
I had no breaks for years
Tried to knock me off my feet
But my soul is made of concrete
Bones made of steel
Heart made of metal
Try to push me and you're gettin' the devil
Yeah-eah
If your with me let me hear you say
Stand up
We gonna dance through the fire
When it gets tough we go higher
Baby, I'm crying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Step back
Don't you come at me, like that
Call me the champion
Hell yeah!
Ain't ever dying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh-oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh-oh
We're gonna burn, burn through the night
Light up my fire, taking me higher
We're gonna burn, burn through the night
Light up my fire, taking me higher
Oh
Stand up
We gonna dance through the fire
When it gets tough we go higher
Baby, I'm crying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Step back
Don't you come at me, like that
Call me the champion
Hell yeah!
Ain't ever dying
Rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh-oh)
Oh
Just like a phoenix (Oh)
Oh-oh
