[Intro: Vast Aire]

I know cats been through some shit

But we about to elevate right now

Bout to scream Phoenix


[Verse 1: Vordul Mega]

Mega-allahs star seen only afar

The physical Amar chosen, my craft is bars

We rebel righteous, with stabs and scars in the heightness

Rep live, graf artists and ghetto writers united

Starvin' with one table and no mic

And still get it on bombin' and flow nice

Spit vomit and throw dice

Taking chances in life trying to get by

And stop all the time gettin' high

Gotta clear mind and stay focused, avoid serpents

And worship life

We like merchants

Street peasants with these lessons

Live, build, and pass away, and keep stressin'

Thinking how we gonna master days

With passion, that's why we rap this way

From Manhattan 115 to 1-3-5

We pigeons became phoenix with open minds

To open yours, flow the raw innovative

Phoenix

[Hook: Vast Aire & Vordul Mega]

So when you see me shine light (better scream phoenix)

The god locked in a cell (scream phoenix)

Moms can't post bail (you gotta scream phoenix)

Jesus on a crucifix (scream phoenix)

Jesus on a crucifix (scream phoenix)

Jesus on a crucifix


[Verse 2: Vast Aire]

Yo, birds of the same feather flock together

Congested on a majestic yo (no..no..no..)

My feathers and flames are one skin

Hallowed be Thy name in the beginning there was no sin

We in the ninth inning, and I'm God body trying to win

Flying against the wind

But now my shell is weightless and fireproof

But the truth is I'm proof of living fire

I'm not made of organics, not even wires

Just felt my body light up and heard the choir

See to the common fowl the phoenix is sire

Most high of all things to ever have wings

Existence is struggle, resistance is futile

Meanwhile we now possess the power of ten suns

To transcend and elevate into one

Famine, the disease and senseless dying is done

Pigeon bird got a breath left

Heart beat no more

Phoenix bird morph and we live off the G-force

[Hook: Vast Aire & Vordul Mega]

Ha, scream phoenix

The god locked in a cell (scream phoenix)

Moms can't post bail (scream phoenix)

Jesus on the crucifix (scream phoenix)

Scream phoenix (scream phoenix)

Scream phoenix

[Outro: Vast Aire & Vordul Mega]

Gotta, 1-3-5

What, 115 (Uh)

What

(You gotta, you gotta, scream phoenix)

Trapped in the system, pigeons

Trapped in the, what, pigeons, yo
