My Sight by Mad Icarus Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mad Icarus]
See it straight when you're bent
See a lot of other people giving thanks to their friends
No matter rank it depends, on what you say when it sends
Fuckin' everybody celebrates the day they begin
But now I really hope it's obvious I'm sick of being slept upon
They don't know the name because they couldn't get the lexicon
Maybe they will see it on the day I pack the Grammy in
Head to South America and live my days so grand and big
Three years I've been pushed to the side
Man without a doubt until I'm dead or alive
Because I tried and I tried, no respect is even seeking me
It seems as though it's beating things into the brains of weaker links
Can't think for themselves, only sink to the shelves
I know when the summer ends, another flavor will sell
And so when a girl telling me her boy better than Icarus
My longevity's limitless so I know that she's feeling this
Like a riddle, I'm whittling play of words for the chillin'
And children will be living for pitter-patter, all willing
That I could step on a stage, slowly corner my rage
Into little political passages that ravage the base
I'm the sage of an age that keeps its brains on the page
And when the mic becomes a thing, I end up blowing away
All the critics and doubters, not leaving 'til they're all outed
Because it's Icarus, all I've ever done is fight the power
[Hook]
Money ain't a thing, if I got it, I won't spend
All I got is my prose, don't need no friends
Maybe people evil if they broken or not
Minha Vista, I'ma go unorthodox
[Verse 2: Mad Icarus]
Been a long time yo, since I was a Freshman
Still surprising people when they see I'm the best man
Every lyric science like you're binging on NOVA
Pushing more weight in my words than brother Hova
I don't care about the cash, just the recognition
In the debt division, college ain't the best for vision
If they send for me, they'll know my name and instantly
They'll understand the hype around the kid who kicked the industry
Mad Icarus, Minha Vista getting into
Ticking and tocking the filler they're riddled with
Icarus fitting the billing of tripping the minimalistic, cannibalistic
Critic of people who taking no minutes to drill on a verse
And to kill all the curses
Worth every word in the birth of the hearses
Spitting acid while your rhymes stay basic
Hitting different senses like I'm spitting in LASIK
Tasing every microphone like it was breaking in my home
But know I'm close so everything before me's just a boring show
Who are you to tell me who I am?
Every verse I ever wrote was better than the first of man
I'm the first of my generation to take the lick
Keep it coming further and burden the others hating this
You want a monster? I take it the people are ready for more
And they want what they want and I'm faking before
I'm becoming the only one they want on tour
Waiting for Icarus, hands in the air
Beaming in rituals no one can bear
You rarely compare, so follow in line
But know in due time, the game will be mine
This isn't arrogance, my flag's in the ground
I'm standing on this mountain and nobody's around
I'm here to stake this claim in a sober tone, wrong or right
Y'all will know my legacy by midnight tonight
See it straight when you're bent
See a lot of other people giving thanks to their friends
No matter rank it depends, on what you say when it sends
Fuckin' everybody celebrates the day they begin
But now I really hope it's obvious I'm sick of being slept upon
They don't know the name because they couldn't get the lexicon
Maybe they will see it on the day I pack the Grammy in
Head to South America and live my days so grand and big
Three years I've been pushed to the side
Man without a doubt until I'm dead or alive
Because I tried and I tried, no respect is even seeking me
It seems as though it's beating things into the brains of weaker links
Can't think for themselves, only sink to the shelves
