Birth of the Phoenix Lyrics

No matter what happens in your life, man, you gotta follow two rules

Chase after your dreams and never, ever, ever give up

Now are you hungry for success like victory is your only sustenance

Are you willing to fall or just get back up when you gut checked, now go be gluttonous

Now if you do it, give 100%. Now emerge from the winter of your discontent

Because there is no tomorrow, so you gotta live for today

By the way, life or death are in the power of the tongue

So watch what you say, now with no more delay

Go conquer the world like it's meant to be

Because greatness is a choice, it's not a destiny

So you better act now and never back down

Until you're standing on top and wearing your crown

Because achieving your dream, it ain't as easy as it seems

So let nothing ever stand in your way or get in between

If you're casual about your life, then your life becomes a casualty

You never know how strong you can be until strong is all that you can be

And when they ask how you did it, and you give them your answer

Just say it's the birth of the phoenix with the heart of a panther

Sitting around the inner circle, just me, myself and I

Couldn't tune out the inner critic, no matter how hard we tried

It was myself who said I am the only me there is, so take me as I am

I'm in a rut, feels like a grave with no end

So I told myself to quit whining and for me to get back to grinding

All it took was a little reminding, then I got back to climbing

Cause enough is enough, and now it's time to transcend

Now you can wait for your ship to come in, or you can go for a swim

That's when I pick myself up, and then I brush me off

It's how I react after I've taken loss

And at all costs, what was lost to me has now been found

And so I told myself that what you have is so profound

You better act now and never back down

Till you're standing on top and wearing your crown

Because achieving your dream, it ain't as easy as it seems to look

Nothing ever stands in your way, or get in between

If you're casual, but your life being light becomes a casualty

Never know how strong you can be, if you're strong, it's all that you can be

And when they ask how you did it, and you give them your answer

Just say it's the birth of the phoenix, with the heart of a panther

False evidence appearing real

My fiercest competition

Reborn in the ashes, now my newest rendition

The next chapter turned the page, I plan to die a young man at an old age

I'm not here to spectate, no more, I'm here to engage

Okay, do you have what it takes to invest in you

To make the rest of your life, the best of your life, until your dreams come true

You don't have to be great to get started, but you gotta get started to be great

Knowledge, passion, skill and faith is what it takes

So you better act now and never back down

Till you're standing on top and wearing your crown

Because achieving your dream, it ain't as easy as it seems

So let nothing ever stands in your way, or get in between

If you're casual, but your life being light becomes a casualty

Never know how strong you can be, if you're strong, it's all that you can be

And when they ask how you did it, and you give them your answer

Just say it's the birth of the phoenix, with the heart of a panther

Now it's the birth of the phoenix, with the heart of a panther

It's the birth of the phoenix, with the heart of a panther

It's the birth of the phoenix

It's the birth of the phoenix, with the heart of a panther
