“The Phoenix” is a song by the Nigerian singer Brymo, released on his 2020 EP Libel. The song’s lyrics focus on a theme of rebirth and resilience, with lyrics about having no defense and being repressed, but also about rising again after being brought down. It’s a powerful anthem of a big return and overcoming adversity, with a repeated chorus pleading “Rain down on me”.
I had no defence
Constantly repressed
I gave up my wave on
I'll do it all again
Every little thing
I run and climb mountain tops
And I have no regrets
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
I've been up and I've been down
Lost my way, came back around
And I have no regrets
I've been down and I've been up
Lost my way, came back on top
And I have no regrets
You had no remorse
Let our bubble burst
So I gave up all my cause
No home so I roam
I've been up and I've been down
Lost my way, came back around
And I have no regrets
I've been down and I'vе been up
Lost my way, came back on top
And I have no regrеts
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Mercy, mercy (mercy)
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Mercy, mercy
