Icarus

Since I let go of you and I

Lately I've been feelin' too alive

Flyin' too close to the Sun, yeah

Flyin' too close to the Sun, yeah

Oh, yeah

Trees that grew between us

Tears we drew between us

Years have blew between us just to throw away

Might've lost our glory

But I love our story

Yeah, I lock the door just to store away

They say love don't cost a thing

Yeah right, that's a underbid

They say love don't cost a thing

Oh, yeah right, that's a underbid

That's a underbid

That's a underbid

They say love don't cost a thing

And you know they be lying like Kellyanne Conway

I just get my thoughts off, I just take the top off

When the culture bubble, we come from the back block

So they call us trouble, we can never slouch nor stop off

Weekend on the couch with the socks off

Nah, we can make it count, run the clock off

We can count lives on the block lost

Cautionary tape, that we can never block off

All I see is hate, how many memories can a million make?

Opinionated, young nigga seen the whole world with my own two

What they gon' do with this young nigga?

Whole squad workin' on the same page like we one, nigga

Like we one

I can't get jiggy with you clowns

I'm busy I've been giving New York City a whole new sound

Who really gon' hold this down? Who? Me, funny

I catch niggas gettin' sour when I do me

I still wish them niggas more than they do me

Gotta live up to the blessings of my Umi

Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above

Never read The Art of War, but it's hard to love

Never know when you go rollercoaster

All your highs got a low, rollercoaster

Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above

Never read The Art of War, but I could write The Art of Love

Oh, yeah

Trees that grew between us

Tears we drew between us

Years have blew between us just to throw away

Might've lost our glory

But I love our story

Yeah, I lock the door just to store away

The inner me is telling me I gotta pace it

The winner in me telling I got a bottle of Ace

Cole gave me at the Garden from the case Hov sent him

Looked 'em in the face

Told 'em I can't pop it till I sell it out on my occasion

Bold claim, told my momma I'd be back and I make it, both came true

Thought I was escaping, just to find myself right back in the Matrix, both pills blue

I thought I'd be fulfilled

I came from not a dollar in my momma basement

I came from bagging product in my momma basement

Almost caught some shells tryna bust a couple sells

They went and caught a coller in my momma basement

I've been tryna keep her proud since, nigga way back

Got some niggas, keep me grounded, that's some way back

But I gotta take flights sometimes

These are fighting times, I'm my only opponent

Some days I'm betraying my holiest moments

I don't know who could control 'em

I don't know who could control 'em

I ain't living for me, I'm the youngest of five

And if I don't survive, I don't know who could console 'em

I don't know who could console 'em

Since I let go of you and I

Lately I've been feelin' too alive
