Abstract - Phoenix lyrics

Confusion on her breath as she
Tellin' me to leave
Saying shit is getting better
But she don't believe
Saying, "Baby, stay
I need you like the air that I breathe"
Screaming, "I ain't seen nobody else
You everything I need"
Yeah, okay, I guess I said that all before
But that welcome mat mean nothing if
You walk out of that door
Who I'ma be without you, to be honest
I ain't sure
Maybe so you won't forget
Probably gon' take over the world
She said, "Yeah, okay
Have fun controllin' up your next bitch"
"I get all my advice from
Girls who never had relationships"
So I'll just take the best I ever
Had and go and wreck this shit
They say that hope floats
So I'm 'bout to go and sink the ship
'Cause it felt like I was tryna bail it out
Durin' a hurricane
Tryna rekindle a fire
Doused in an infinite rain
Felt like the kid had been drowned and
Lifted in spite of the pain
Guess no one prepared for the bird that
Rose from the ash and the flames

'Cause they come and they go
And we try not to show 'em
But they know we ain't able to let go
And they hide while you seen
Think it all was a dream
Thinking, "What does it mean?"
"Where do I turn?"
"From this what do I learn?"
"From this what do I earn?"
So, like a phoenix
Like a phoenix
Rise from the burns

Knowing I gotta' make a change (get up)
Knowing I can't live this way (get up)
I made my own skies gray (get up)
So I had to make the change

So yeah, let's wait and see
Your new self couldn't face me
Your new men couldn't trace me
And no alcohol could erase me
'Cause I'm 'bout to be seen everywhere
On your TV, I'll be there
Have my face up in Times Square
On vacation, like that ain't fair? (huh)
I'm sorry seriously, I'm sorry
Gonna have to watch my life 'cause you
Chose to go and leave the story
'Cause I rip beats like I uprooted
And I hit goals like Beckham shoot it
And I make hit's like no one doin'
And I shift plates, it's a big movement
(yeah)
Pedal down and I'm cruisin'
Middle fingers up to the ones who
Still think that we're losing
To be more honest than Armstrong
I'm doper than the shit he on
Running tracks like that Tour de Fran'
Give me that medal, then the kid is gone
(yeah)
And I hope you're flipping out
'Cause now the kid you used to
Know is what girls flippin' 'bout
Hittin' stages, askin' ages
Yeah, that's where we're headed now
When you realize where my name is
Just know why you're missing out
