Icarus

Since Ive let go of you and I
Lately Ive been feeling too alive
Flying too close to the sun, yeah
Flying too close to the sun, yeah
Oh yeah
Trees that grew between us
Tears that drip between us
Years have blew between us just to throw away
Minus the glory, but I love our story
Yeah I lock the door just to store it away

They say love dont cost a thing
Yeah right thats a underbid
They say love dont cost a thing
Oh yeah right thats a underbid
Thats a underbid
Thats a underbid
They say love dont 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 cauldron 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
Caution every tape, that we can never block off
All I see is hate, how many memories can a million make?
Opinionated, young ***** seen the whole world with my own two
What they gon do with this young *****?
Whole squad workin on the same page like we one *****

Like we one
I cant get jiggy with you clowns
Im busy Ive been giving New York City a whole new sound
Who really gon hold this down? Who? Me, funny
I catch ****** gettin sore when I do me
I still wish them ****** 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 its 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 that drip between us
Years have blew between us just throw away
Minus the glory, but I love our story
Yeah I lock the door just to store it away
The inner me is tellin me, 'I gotta pace it'
The winner in me is tellin, 'I got a bottle of Ace'
Cole gave me at the garden from the case, send em looked em in the face
Told em I cant pop it til sell it on my own occassion, bold claim
Told my momma Id be back and I make it, both came true
Thought I was escapin
Just to find myself right back in the Matrix, both pills blue
I thought Id be fulfilled
I came from not a dollar in my momma basement
I came from baggin product in my momma basement
Almost lost some shells tryna bust a couple sells
They went and caught a collar in my momma basement
Ive been tryna keep her proud since, ***** way back
Got some ******, keep me grounded, thats some way back
But I gotta take flights sometimes
These are fightin times, Im my only opponent
Somedays Im betrayin my holiest moments
I dont know who could control em
I dont know who could control em
I aint livingfor me, Im the youngest of five
And if I dont survive, I dont know who could console em
I dont know who could console em
Since Ive let go of you and I
Lately Ive been feeling too alive
