Guess Again V2

(2025)

"Guess Again" finds our hero reminiscing on his 15+ year journey and reflecting on some recent success in the music industry. This stroll with Phoenix down memory lane is decorated with Autumn vibes signifying the change in the air as seeds planted in the past grow upwards and bring about new fruits. If you’re pushing through doubt, rebuilding yourself, or stepping into a new chapter… this one’s for you. 🍂

"Guess Again" is a cinematic Alt Rap anthem originally released in 2019 as a part of Phoenix's 100 Song Mixtape titled "Jumanji". The track has a lot of history, but this bright shiny new version of a timeless classic is entirely composed produced, written, performed, engineered, mixed, mastered and the video was also shot directed and edited entirely in house with assistance from media powerhouse and frequent collaborators  ⁨@LovelyImagePhotography⁩  .

This V2 version of our favorite November ballad masterfully showcases how much the in house production of Phoenix Vibes Entertainment has matured in these last 7 years. We are witnessing a fully grown Phoenix, matured as an artist and ripe to deliver more incredible, soul moving art. With his recent successes in Streaming and Sync Licensing it seems The Underground Authority in Alt Rap is just getting warmed up...

  • Crisp cold that November wind

    Baby when it blows

    I remember when

    I really thought

    I could never win

    Clearly I was wrong

    Had to guess again


    You ever wonder 

    What your purpose is

    In this world 

    That ain’t for you to know

    That ain’t for you to know

    You’ll never know just 

    What your purpose is

    In this world

    Until after you’re gone


    Never question yourself

    Never second guess it

    You’ve been through

    All that oppression

    You keep on looking better

    You keep on pushing
    Don’t quit

    You just keep 

    Applying pressure

    You keep on running to that money

    Like your life was dependent

    That’s called that perseverance

    They don’t know about perseverance

    They don’t know about

    Sleeping all out in the rain

    ‘Cause your pride

    Won’t let you share it

    You don’t know about

    Getting knocked down

    Getting scammed
    Getting robbed

    All ‘cause of your spirit

    Betting everything

    On a 100 song tape

    Scared that the world won’t hear it

    Fitting to shelf myself

    Sitting on a hard drive

    And I won’t sign myself

    To the dark side

    I ain’t an industry plant

    With the mob ties

    How could I fund myself 

    To the multis 

    When I ain’t even 

    Got a dime to eat

    Can’t run a business properly

    Jobs treat me like property

    So I’m on to the next
    ‘Fore my heart could beat

    Ten toes hanging off the balcony

    I’m about to jump what’s stopping me

    All I ever do is cause problems see

    Even though I really want to

    Solve some things

    Can you fly with me

    Yeah yeah

    Can you ride with me

    Yeah yeah

    Can you vibe with me 

    Can you slide with me

    Through the apocalypse

    Yeah I still remember 

    Like it was yesterday

    Sleeping in the Concorde

    Early November
    When the power was out

    In the house it was dark

    Couldn’t play the Nintendo

    That my grandmother

    Got for us even though

    She was living out of hotels

    And barely supporting 

    Herself and

    She was selfless

    Give it up

    Give The Lord thanks

    Carpe Diem
    Sieze The Lord’s Day

    Shower myself 

    In The Lord’s grace

    Until the day I see

    The Lord’s face

    I just spent a small fortune

    On the show equipment

    For my tour dates

    Never took no shortcuts

    And that’s why they

    Fuck with me the long way

    It don’t seem that far away

    I was selling CDs in the hallway

    I wouldn’t let them ignore me

    Now they’re looking 

    Up at me the star way

    Like look at me shine

    It’s my time no no no no

    Lost in the grind

    Been a long long long long

    Ride no no no no

    Teachers thought

    I was gon’ freeze up

    I can’t freeze up

    Still be rapping like

    The rent due

    Like the lease up

    I still be representing Cleveland

    Still gon’ throw my

    Street up opps

    Trying to put me 

    In the freezer but


    Crisp cold that November wind

    Baby when it blows

    I remember when

    I really thought

    I could never win

    Clearly I was wrong

    Had to guess again

    Crisp cold that November wind

    Baby when it blows

    I remember when

    I really thought

    I could never win

    Clearly I was wrong

    Had to guess again

    Clearly I was wrong

    Had to guess again

    It’s a beautiful thing

    To be wrong sometimes

    It’s a beautiful thing

    It’s a beautiful thing

    To be wrong sometimes

    I had to guess again


    You ever wonder 

    What your purpose is

    In this world 

    That ain’t for you to know

    That ain’t for you to know

    You’ll never know just 

    What your purpose is

    In this world

    Until after you’re gone


    I had to guess again
