Phoenix

[Intro: Lord Apex]
Ayo
Right, gotta show 'dem
Yo

[Chorus: Lord Apex]
Ayo, shed me your fear, shed me your hate
Shed me of the feelings, I'm seein' they can't relate
A decade I spent in 'bate, give a nigga your forgiveness
For makin' sinful mistakes by watchin' me by the lake

[Verse 1: Lord Apex]
Billin' niggas like Gates, been feelin' it in my face
Or feelin' it in my fate, meridian we can taint
The energy in my veins overloadin', made me just sane
All the Ubers had me bougie, I rouge back on your train
And go shed me of all the pain that's impossible to explain
Thankful I found my lane 'fore they took me out the game
'Cause only I control my fate, babe
And deep divin', soul searchin' as of late late
I made a million tryna run it under stakes, mate
I never not had vivid dreams, a nigga always wake late
I never did the bank great, create
Shape the world up, there's stakes in my purpose
We race under surface, so phoenix how I took flight
And treat the world just like my last name; I always look right
And treat the raps like barbeques in summers, always cook brights
And months to get the hook right, every song a soundtrack to a life
There's a lone wolf and if I did a truce to reconsult
Then, that's my own fault, my own guilt, my own pride
I tend to keep them earbites for the long rides
My white Sayonee happy when it's on time
That's the only space that's relatively safe inside my own mind
I wouldn't have my freedom if I wasn't on my own grind the whole time
My phone line been off the hook but I still felt your spirit the whole time
Leonardo, ayy, paint you really fine with the stroke lines
Best believe the line was hard as fuck if you call mine

[Chorus: Lord Apex]
It's like, like, shed me your fear, shed me your hate
Shed me of the feelings, I'm seein' they can't relate
A decade I spent in 'bate, give a nigga your forgiveness
For makin' sinful mistakes by watchin' me by the lake
Yuh, it's like, shed me your fear, shed me your hate
Shed me of the feelings, I'm seein' they can't relate
A decade I spent in 'bate, give a nigga your forgiveness
For makin' sinful mistakes by watchin' me by the lake
Still billin' niggas like Gates, it's like

[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Hundred plates, got the dough from the wait
I bake it in the cake, now I'm billin' niggas like Gates
My face card good, I got credit to purchase weight
Before I crack the Henny, I bless it like T.D. Jakes
I'm lookin' for heaven 'cause, bitch, I been in hell
I was a triple beam baby before the DIGI scale
I just blew two on the Range, the money, hoes, and liquor cover my pain
I'm in the strip club throwin' this change like it's a wishin' well
Shit, wish I could push the time back a bit
Wish that Sodi rolled with me that night he had that accident
I wish I knew that Willie was out here scammin' all my packs and shit
I wouldn't've sat in jail for that pussy, I would've clapped that bitch
Bitch, but I'ma let these niggas breathe
These bamboo floors is Japanese, I got a different type of cheese
I got a different color bitch every time I'm seen, you know my steez
My London niggas throw up the set, they say they rappin' about his P's
I let it breathe, man, 'cause I'm sick in the brain
Famous as a bitch and I never stopped sellin' thangs
And I'm, ah, bitch I'm Pimp Daddy Kane
Soon as I drop this verse, 'bout to put your bitch on a plane

[Outro: Freddie Gibbs]
Yeah-yeah, yeah
He ridin' coach, you know what I'm sayin'
I'ma be sittin' first, you know what I'm sayin'
You gon' be throwin' the worst, you know what I'm sayin', I'm your thirst
Yeah-yeah, sit in the Range, damn
Yeah-yeah, uh, Max, let's do it
Yeah, sit with a thang, man
