Phoenix, The Second - Intellectual

[Intro: Rook]

Future brighter than I remember

So bright I burned away in the mirror

Future brighter than I remember

See I remember, the older me

[Pre-Verse: Rook]

Baby I’m dead come and check my pulse

I won't be gone for long, it ain’t all your fault

If I derive a lesson within my loss

Then I am bound to gain more than what I’ve lost

[Verse 1: Rook]

The mood is right, the sun is brighter

I'm up in flames, I made my mind up

I cannot wane, I'd only grow up

It all comes true when on the wax

Everything I do is ashes to ashes, I rise from it

I don't ever fall bitch I bounce back

Everything I do is ashes to ashes, I'm alive from it, go and roll my ashes up you can get high from it

I'm a Phoenix, watch me recreate a life just take the scenic

Seen it, all before talm bout "I would never change,"

I don't live my life to ever stay the same

We been only interested in the elevate

[Pre-Chorus: Rook]

This is nothing for the birds who sit and chirp till they ain't got no more to say

Burn a bridge, burn a cage, burned my dreams all into my retinae

Then I fly away

I can kiss the sun when in my element

If I burn away I’d come back better than, then

[Background Refrain: Rook]

So take me higher than I've ever been

I'm on fire like I've never been

I can kiss the sun I'm in element

If I burn away I'd come back better than, then, x2

[Chorus: Rook & Zaniyah]

My bed of flames and so I lay

I am no ordinary man, I am no ordinary man

I'm up in flames and born again

I am no ordinary girl

RIP RIP

[Verse 2: Rook & Zaniyah]

I feature first 48

I might die come back take ya place

I write cause it's feels right for me

You write cause you want cut the check

I fly past these birds to a place

So high, know you'll never relate

So fire, you burn out, I'll elevate

Can't put out my flame, watch you stay the same

I done told you niggas

I done died about three times for this

Three times, four times, more times

See I won't mind for this

[Bridge: Rook & Both]

Watch me revive

Watch me decide, who am I

Watch me burn, fly up out my urn

To live and learn

And spin my life up out a line

Watch me Icarus, push the heights

Watch me come alive, just to die

Watch me, wait
