Lyrics

[Verse 1] Double-jointed, triple threat I'm not some method actress Trying to see my, my descent You're gonna have to play the tape backwards Save that breath for choir practice Got no time for my detractors Standing on my staircase All you are's a fire hazard I've put my time in now I'm vetted, uncontested See how an honest answer shuts down Motherfuckers asking trick questions I'm out here, arms wide Hiding nothing I've done it all in broad daylight I left the cameras running [Chorus] I'm the phoenix and the ash Red eyes shining in the camera flash My secret is I don't keep none, see Something go ahead and say something I ain't afraid of it I don't drown, won't stay down Heat finds a way to rise somehow Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I Don't see too many rivals now [Verse 2] I don't need an agenda I just tell the truth Let it off the leash Don't touch it It knows what to do I'm running a tight ship Every deckhand here has a five-year plan And a ice pick They can write code, they can drive stick I got an octave on you and a high kick Don't blink, I don't block, I'm a bleeder All I do is hit I don't win them all but I'd say I take five out of six Clock's running, better glove up If you insist (okay!) Let's see who's really counting coup And who's been counterfeit [Chorus] I'm the phoenix and the ash Red eyes shining in the camera flash My secret is I don't keep none, see Something go ahead and say something I ain't afraid of it I don't drown, won't stay down Heat finds a way to rise somehow Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I Don't see too many rivals now [Verse 3] Cut my own gills with a pocket knife Turning my fingers in the sockets, my Daily -zzzt- daily dose of -zzzt, zzzt-, daily dose of lightning Just buzzed enough to get me climbing up the kite string My back is aching, my belt's too tight I brought a chisel tip to this pencil fight No luck, just fortified dice I'm going morning and night and I'm really rising (I'm really rising) The fire on the horizon [Chorus] I'm the phoenix and the ash Red eyes shining in the camera flash My secret is I don't keep none, see Something go ahead and say something I ain't afraid of it I don't drown, won't stay down Heat finds a way to rise somehow Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I Don't see too many rivals now [Chorus] I'm the phoenix and the ash Red eyes shining in the camera flash My secret is I don't keep none, see Something go ahead and say something I ain't afraid of it I don't drown, won't stay down Heat finds a way to rise somehow Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I Don't see too many rivals now [Spoken] What's up, what's up? Heh heh Oh, man Thanks
