Phoenix: The Battle Against Myself

Rise And Fall Of Chrome Uzumaki

I'm rising from the ashes, now I am a new guy
And I now I feel like I can fly
If someone wants to compete with me, you can try

I am tired of putting anger on myself because what you do to me
I do it because if I didn't interact with you, I wouldn't be feeling the pain
I'm like a tree
I try to branch out, but people break me apart, and I can't even explain

Heartbreak
Keeps coming until I isolate
Myself because I feel like I've made a huge mistake
I meet these people who turn out to be fakes
Where is the real you at? Because I meet strangers, each wearing a familiar face

Manufactured hearts, plastic made
My words are like a train
I keep it going until we reach the next stage
I try to make my rhymes grow into flames

Then it becomes an inferno after it becomes a blaze
Here we go, I'm reborn to shine a new age
Upon us, it's time to bring back the old days
Rap was simple, and I'm just a millennial who is chained
To a world whose methods are inhumane

Methods that I darn sure won't tolerate
I follow rules, but not to my grave
I was born this way, I will not let anyone attempt to change

Who I am because I promised to my mom and myself that I will always stay the same
If we pave
The path, then we should know the way

It's not too late, we can rise up from the hateful parts of the neighborhood
I'm here to give voices to everyone so we can save the good

Here are my pros
I know
How to love people as I grow

Even though I'm a young teen, I would drop to my knees and ask a girl if she would marry me
Until death do us part
I hope that as I physically carry her, she will mentally carry me
If we have to try to keep it all together, then we'll do that part

When I rise, I'll learn everything that there is to learn about
When I walk through the streets, all of the newest materialistic things are the only things that I've heard about

Keep it going until I get dizzy
Almost like I'm tipsy

I don't drink, though
Am I living in a illusion? I think so
I'm going to run with my long legs like a flamingo

I've been up, now it's time for me to fall
Before I go, let me give you a wake up call

I'm falling to my inevitable end, now I am a new guy
And I now I feel like I can fly
If you want to kill me, 1,000,000 people have already tried

And it didn't before, so why are you trying?
If you don't succeed, then you'll be crying

If I die, let me go
And I fall, let me fall
I don't need anymore burdens, let me contemplate my illness alone
My illness is my constant stress, and I'm surprised that I'm able to contain it all

It's hard to explain how I bad I feel
When I see what people go through and how sad they feel

You never know when you fall or rise
But when you come up, you better open your eyes
And appreciate your life
When you fall, close your eyes
And say, "My job is done, now it's time for my legacy to revise

What I started
After the first few steps, it's about time that we've parted"

I've fallen, I'm a dead man walking
Only to give you a message by talking

To you because I have to get this off my chest
I never get rest
I can't control people, but people have to chill when they flex
They do it because they know that it alienates the struggles that we go through for the next
Thing that doesn't come in the form of money, it comes in a check
All of that stress
I'm too young, but I work with every single breath
Until I fall asleep and I wish to be caressed

But I don't ever get what I deserve
So I must deserve the hurt

I've risen from the dead
And fallen from the living
In between that time, I've kept a clean head
And the life that I lived, That's the world I chose to live in, and now I'm finished
