I Can Be Lyrics by Phinix

To Live For

2022

[Intro: Legend'Son]

It's the end
It’s the end or so it seems
Take a second and just breathe
While this ruler tries to crush you with his feet
See the sun before it sleeps

Take me back
Take me back when we believed
That we would sit with Kings and Queens
Just by being who we said that we would be
Uncompromised certainty


[Verse 1: Phinix]
I wrote this on my couch, my dreams are near but seem so far
I've always been myself, no masquerades, I'm no imposter
Commitment leads to action, action brings your dream closer
Opportunity went corporate, it’s limited, grab it, osa yopa!

Stop the hate, quit bleaching creams, love yourselves, people
LSK's blessed but it seems someone really stole that eagle!
Chasing pavement, chasing dreams, could life be more simple?
Chasing payments, King of Kings, love, is what I live for!

Top of the morning, afternoon, evening ladies and Gentlemen!
This is Phinix, you know it, a rapper, a poet, and something else in between
I wanna be fearless like Sullivan, fly as a pelican, Ephraim-relevant!
I wanna be currently better than yesterday's version of me, my inner man!

At 10, the only big balling I knew was playing nachimpombwa!
Then at 14 in the 11th grade solving SOHCAHTOA!
Rapping on phone recorders
While dreaming of crossing borders
Coming through with 16s like I was pushing 4x4s uh!


[Hook: Legend'Son]

Oh, I can be what is in me
The sun has not yet set on me
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!

Oh, I can be what is in me
The sun has not yet set on me
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!


[Verse 2: Phinix]

Cost me!
I know it's gon' cost me!
But who you know who this sick? (Dissick)
They just come close like Kourtney!

Nkosi yama Nkosi!
I didn't have to turn my other cheek when Jesus crossed me!
If you don't know me know that He shattered the old me!
In my past I'd I amass all the proceeds but now Christ gets all of the glory!
You can’t hold me back, back, I wanna tell my story!
I won’t apologize, I'm not sorry bro for what I live for, His glory!

Out of the ash, the Phinix rose with new youth, new principles!
Could run out of cash but still I know my treasure ain’t found in your gold!
They don't wanna hear that but still, these flows speak the truth, yeah here we go!
As a matter of fact, check my progress, I rise and clear the smoke!

You'd think I'm Siamese the way I spit this truth from a different mind!
My vocal cords explode these flows are raw but bro, they’re still refined!
In Him, how can I fold? My foes are close but God is on my side!
That's why my name is Bupe - Gift, I be rapping rapping all the time!


[Hook: Legend'Son]

Oh, I can be what is in me
The sun has not yet set on me
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!

Oh, I can be what is in me
The sun has not yet set on me
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!
Oh, Hallelujah praise to thee!
