Icarus Lyrics

Every word if I wrote it I gotta stand on it

My foundation been solid so that's the safety net

And God forbid if I plummet at least I'll land on it

Lead with intent being genuine is the safest bet

They said you flying too close to the sun

They been praying that my wings melt and hoping I plunge

How could you doubt what I can do when you know what I've done

When it ain't never in the bleachers where the trophies is won

Nah, this is the saga of the ambitious, a rap artist who see the bars as canvases

It began with a spark then started to transition

To a blaze that would light up the globe, who woulda known

I mean I know I did when we was rappin in them cyphers

Now we charging flat fees and jacking up the prices

Backing up the hype when they be cracking in a crisis

Got a fist in the air and we just clacking up the dices

We lack the leadership we need and get the circus we deserve

Ain't no action, they just acting and rehearsing all the words

And yeah it sound good, screaming vote or die

We hit the poll but when it's time to play the role they like "we gon get around to it"

Sound stupid, right? Different sides but they just move alike

Pitchin lies watch they get surprised when we do a strike

It don't mean a thing how you lean, cause you ain't doing right

Goofy, ahhh, beefin in huddles you know we losin, right?

But I just make the music and sing so what do I know

Dumb enough to bet on my dream and I struck the lotto

Trying to be the king with just a mic

What they couldn't see standing on the side of that ring was cus D'amato

Tough to find somebody that's worthy of trust to follow

It's time to put our foot down and start it with the top row

Shop closed, knock knock coward we at your front door

And we can put the flame to the powder in case you want smoke

Tell 'em this is how you go out, album number 10 flow

Finna be a blow out, run and tell ya kinfolk

Competition blown out, accomplishing our goals now

Vacay where the beach at, reclining with our toes out

Toastin to the good life, wavin to the bartenders

We been coppin bandos, flip em into art centers

Baby this is motivation, big bro with no relation

How he make the rolling stone, wasn't even sposed to make it

Hate to say I told you so, second thought I so should say it

Always been the underdog, watched y'all making overstatements

Seent ya little rapper lists, been at your awards banquets

When you need an hour for a show you know the goat

It ain't no replacement, 5th Child TM yea baby it's trademarked

Each win so much sweeter and here's the great part

One way splits on my cake, boy I'm my own boss

I just say I'm spreading my wings, they think I'm showing off
