PHOENIX THE MISFIT
Someone told me there ain't no love in the heart of the city,
a part of me's holding on but it's hard to harvest a semi.
Another side needs to leave, I'm trying to reach my potential.
Nightmares off stage, I'm diving deep in my mental.
Only few have chosen this path, I ask God for forgiveness.
Lord knows we're all sinners, if the sky is my limit
I pray I find paradise in this hell, it's an epidemic.
319, it ain't where you from homie, it's where you finish.
I set standards and reach for my goals. Some say I cause trouble
homie, I just speak what I know. Follow my heart
through the darkness and if it leads to my destruction, then fuck it.
There's no discussion, I'll just deal with repercussions.

JOSH MICHALEC
What could you do and see when your dreams are all schemes?
You're staying up late, plotting on different ways to count green
and you know big things are coming when you run shit, no walking.
Just know talking gets you some things but actions get you everything.
I was an inch away from quitting, listened and heard what this is missing.
Difficult ain't shit, mission impossible takes a weekend.
I'll go easy when I stop breathing, even then I'll die hard.
Guard reputations with life, lose sight and fans sing lullaby's.
The C.R.I. gotta strive and see I gotta drive,
No backseat ride for me, I whip round corners like it's my V.
Prodigy's causing havoc, Mobb Deep. My posse's honestly,
kings and queens of the flood scene, breaking levees with break beats.
Rolling through the city and I feel like these streets own me
but that's thinking backwards like reading 9-1-3.
You can love me or hate me, just remember The Raps made me
the man I am today and that's why I can't leave.

STOKES
I made my nest egg, this is the place
I get my rest at. I don't really care bout where the rest at.
Think back to the time I got my first 10 sack,
roll it up a little crooked, burn it down and relax.
Had to get my mind right, learn about the facts.
I'm here for the moment, can't be stuck with life in the past.
So my mind's on the future, trying to gain some wisdom
I find useful 'cause there's so much shit in this world I find useless.
Can't be foolish. My city's in my soul, you can hear it
in my music and I wouldn't be a damn thing without
this influence.
