In the LKN-produced track “LATINO”, PhoenixGold takes a moment to describe who he is in a fun and playful way while simultaneously drawing parallels from Latin and pop culture to his own life. Everything from his routes, interests, influences, up-bringing and where he’s currently at in his career an...
[Intro]
LKN
[Chorus]
Yeah, my name is Max, known as PhoenixGold
Yeah, got my routes like a tree down in Mexico
And then I moved to Sweden where I found my flow
I used to be ashamed, but now ya boy a proud
Latino, La-Latino
People gonna hate, but we know we don't
Yeah, La-Latino, La-Latino
Turning shit up like Bobby Tarantino
[Verse 1]
Phoenix, AZ, born and raised
'Til '09 that used to be my place
Just a little kid playing with my video games and LEGO bricks
Remember the good times not thinking about chasing chicks
Just a youngin' tryna make it with the music
Added HD-vision and got treated like I'm stupid
Just losе it
You ain't got the balls to do this rap shit like a eunuch
Not Joaquin, but I'm Phoеnix
Leaving you so clueless
Searching for that gold, El Dorado
Don't ever be like George and double dip these nachos
I'm from the west, living the life of Pablo
Painting facial portraits like I'm Frida Kahlo, woah
[Chorus]
Yeah, my name is Max, known as PhoenixGold
Yeah, got my routes like a tree down in Mexico
And then I moved to Sweden where I found my flow
I used to be ashamed, but now ya boy a proud
Latino, La-Latino
People gonna hate, but we know we don't
Yeah, La-latino, La-latino
Turning shit up like Bobby Tarantino
[Verse 2]
Coming with the heat like Valentina
Doomed if you're messing (Messi) with me, shout-out Argentina
Sometimes with my rhymes I might go loco
Family always standing with me like in "Coco"
Barreling like El Chavo del Ocho, but I'ma make it pronto
Life ain't picture perfect like a photo
I ain't got no time for these hoes, no
I just want a good girl that knows, yo
A lot of people didn't get the message
That I tried to spread
I got a question
Who you know who did it when he got rejected?
Felt connected with the music so I used it
As reflection
What a blessing
Didn't give a single fuck and now respected
[Chorus]
Yeah, my name is Max, known as PhoenixGold
Yeah, got my routes like a tree down in Mexico
And then I moved to Sweden where I found my flow
I used to be ashamed, but now ya boy a proud
Latino, La-latino
People gonna hate, but we know we don't
Yeah, La-latino, La-latino
Turning shit up like Bobby Tarantino
