Rarely do you see the Phoenix rise from the ashes Lightnin' struck twice on four classics Self-preservation, we separate ourselves from the plastic The ankle of my sweat still elastic, still do gymnastics If Hov's still forever young Then I'ma somersault backwards through these chapters Land in thД soft-white, cook it till it's off-white They quДstionin' my scorecard, hold it to a torch light I hid it in the porch light, see, I had the foresight My 9-1-1 was pullin' up to matchin' Porsche night, ooh The married drug dealer, even named my son Brixx He raps what he lives, so fuck the nanny, gon' sit It's the grown man in me Searchin' for the plug, that's the nomad in me Still the X factor, that's the Rohan in me Reluctantly a role model That drowned in too many gold bottles Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes The past ten years, screamin', "Uno" Then side step back into the duo The kings of the Pyrex I'm my brother's keeper if you listen and you dissect All I talk is money if you listen to my dialect Bitch, I shot "Grindin'" in my momma's momma's projects I'm just being honest with you, how is that for context? You can live forever when the shit you write is timeless We gon' live forever 'cause the shit we write is timeless
Oh Oh, oh (Ooh)
Tell me what I missed New designer drugs and emotions I don't get I don't Hellcat, still paddle when I shift Vietnam flashbacks, I get triggered by a sniff Today's top fives only strengthenin' my myth Belong on Rushmore just from chiselin' a brick Still fightin' demons, see, that curse is now my gift Secrets die with me, that's as deep as the abyss, that is no coincidence When I was in the mix, opened up your nose like I'm cuttin' it with Vicks Slavin' over stoves like I rub together sticks Paved another road so my soul would coexist But Heaven only knows, I won't dig another ditch In a suit and tie, like you puttin' on the ritz Three record deals show me ignorance was bliss Tryna milk a game that is only two percent X told you Hell is hot, I told you, "Repent" Faith never waivered as I walked along the fence Faith moves mountains, so what are you up against? Watch my brother 'round you bitches, I know he pretends I greet you with the love of God, that don't make us friends I might whisper in his ear, "Bury all of them" Light another tiki torch and carry it again Back up on my high horse, it's chariots again Put the ring back on her finger, marry it again
