[Instrumental Intro)
[Verse 1]
You were down on your luck that day,
Fake smiles in your face, but hey,
I saw through the lies, the fray,
Unfaithful hearts leadin you astray.
Got that hustle, but it dont come free,
Trust is earned, not just a decree,
So many haters, tryin to deceive,
But youre grindin hard, cant stop, believe.
[Hook]
Found you on the streets, yeah, well rise,
Real ones only, cut the ties,
Damn all the fakes, open your eyes,
This is the truth, no more disguise.
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
[Verse 2]
Money stacks, but it dont feel right,
Fame is a game and Im in the fight,
Emptiness lurks in the neon light,
But youre a champion, ready for flight.
Feel the anger burnin like a flame,
Strugglin hard, but Im takin aim,
You showed him love, but it felt so lame,
Faithful to the grind, never the same.
[Hook]
Found you on the streets, yeah, well rise,
Real ones only, cut the ties,
Damn all the fakes, open your eyes,
This is the truth, no more disguise.
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Reality bites, but you must stand tall,
A comeback kid, no fear, no fall,
Motivated, hear the sirens call,
Grateful for the struggle, gave it your all.
Hustle hard, ain't no time for sleep,
Dreams bigger than the block, you leap,
Inspired by the pain, you reap,
Proud of your journey, but the mountain steep.
[Hook]
Found you on the streets, yeah, well rise,
Real ones only, cut the ties,
Damn all the fakes, open your eyes,
This is the truth, no more disguise.
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
[Bridge]
Honesty shines, cant be replaced,
Trust is gold, know your place,
Damn, I see through the masquerade,
You a clown, just a charade.
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, down on your luck that day,
Fake smiles in your face, but hey,
I saw through the lies, the fray,
Unfaithful hearts leadin you astray.
Yeah you hustle, but it dont come free,
Trust is earned, not just a decree,
So many haters, tryin to deceive,
But youre grindin hard, cant stop, believe.
[Hook]
Found you on the streets, yeah, well rise,
Real ones only, cut the ties,
Damn all the fakes, open your eyes,
This is the truth, no more disguise.
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
[Refrain]
So Im out here, seizin' the night,
No more fake friends in this fight,
This is your moment, ready for flight,
Found you on the streets, now youre alright.
[Hook]
Found you on the streets, yeah, well rise,
Real ones only, cut the ties,
Damn all the fakes, open your eyes,
This is the truth, no more disguise.
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
Like a Phoenix you will rise!
[Refrain]
Yeah here I am, seizin' the night,
No more fake friends in this fight,
This is your moment, ready for flight,
Found you on the streets, now youre alright.
Oh! Like a Phoenix you will rise!
Yeah! Like a Phoenix you will rise!
