2, 3, 4
[Chorus: P.Y. The Leader]
I’m a phoenix let me fly, yuh
Ashes in a pile, yuh
I'ma bring flexing back, it’s going out of style, yuh
Let me spread my wings, I’m a god, a messiah
I’ve been born again, I belong in the sky, yuh
[Verse 1: P.Y. The Leader]
Purpose, purpose, your life has purpose
Don't jump off that stool until you’ve heard this
All your dreams and goals deeper than the surface
You gon' work hard and all the spoils you deserve it
I was 15 up at night writing verses (ok)
Tryna live up to ***, living uncertain (yeah)
Thinking bout quitting chords and going into service
University is not for me, I’m a wordsmith
[Verse 2: P.Y. The Leader]
Don’t let 'em tell you boy that you ain’t perfect
That you ain’t perfect
Boy you know you worth it
Fucking up the game so hard you feel the cervix
A phoenix from the ashes
You gon’ rise, don’t be nervous
[Verse 3: P.Y. The Leader]
I just took a big W, Louisiana Purchase (ok)
Feel these niggas hurting (yeah)
Oh, I know they hurting
Too white for the black kids, I'm a sub-urban
It’s a fucking wrap like my nigga with the turban
[Chorus: P.Y. The Leader]
I’m a phoenix let me fly, yuh
Ashes in a pile, yuh
I’ma bring flexing back, it’s going out of style, yuh
Let me spread my wings, I’m a god, a messiah
I’ve been born again, I belong in the sky, yuh
[Verse 4: P.Y. The Leader]
Don't try to change who you are (yeah)
All the lames follow trends, you gon' set the bar (I said)
Set yourself apart (I said)
Set yourself apart (say it!)
You the main character, you an oligarch (woo)

[Chorus: P.Y. The Leader]
I’m a phoenix let me fly, yuh
Ashes in a pile, yuh
I’ma bring flexing back, it’s going out of style, yuh (going out)
Let me spread my wings, I’m a god, a messiah
I’ve been born again, I belong in the sky, yuh
[Verse 5: P.Y. The Leader]
Niggas competition, when I spit I close my eyes, yuh
My shit hits number one, why y'all acting so surprised? yuh
I make gas, y'all make trash, man that shit should be a crime, yuh
(That shit should be a crime, yuh)
It should be a crime
And the beat's so sick, I put on my fucking mask, yuh
I'ma mask up, put on my own mask
I just bang with the gang (aye, yeah, yeah)
Got my boys and Eli, yuh
And Eli, yuh (yuh, yuh, yuh)
You know I don't lie, yuh

For reply, yuh, waiting for reply, yuh
