Icon Status by Mazbou Q Lyrics
Woo woo boy
Yeah
I’m gettin’ upgraded
Lemme spill like guts bladed
I had a game plan to go and catch a plane
Then cram life in a rucksack, relocate it
Urgh
That’s on some escape ish
I thought, “Make a way out to make it"
And come back for the clout and get famous
But I’m finna stay and get icon status
This is how it looks
When you entering the books
When you pass
Everyone can read your life on pages
This is how it looks
When they givin’ you the looks
I don’t care
I don’t ever have my eyes on neighbours
This is how it looks being live on stations
More than lights or the mics on stages
This is how it looks gettin’ icon status
How it looks gettin’ icon status
This is how it looks
When you entering the books
When you pass
Everyone can read your life on pages
This is how it looks
When they givin’ you the looks
I don’t care
I don’t ever have my eyes on neighbours
This is how it looks being live on stations
More than lights or the mics on stages
This is how it looks gettin’ icon status
How it looks gettin’ icon status
This is more than gettin' likes on pages
We waste a lotta time on basics
Goin’ on the internet to fight Caucasians
‘Bout how we got the same rights on paper
My own peeps wanna move like Malcolm
But go put they vote on Labour
Y'all don't know the fox still got its own sabors
And a broke system won't become its own saviour
I been servin these sermons since years back
Finally ears are perked up like meerkats
Don't tell me I do this to appear swank
Peep my first record if you want to hear facts
These vultures, they want to appear black
But none of them actually see that
There's all this smoke if you actually be black
That's why they be keeping they teeth clamped
(Igwe)
Yeah
This is how it looks
When you entering the books
When you pass
Everyone can read your life on pages
This is how it looks
When they givin’ you the looks
I don’t care
I don’t ever have my eyes on neighbours
This is how it looks being live on stations
More than lights or the mics on stages
This is how it looks gettin’ icon status
How it looks gettin’ icon status
This is how it looks
When you entering the books
When you pass
Everyone can read your life on pages
This is how it looks
When they givin’ you the looks
I don’t care
I don’t ever have my eyes on neighbours
This is how it looks being live on stations
More than lights or the mics on stages
This is how it looks gettin’ icon status
How it looks gettin’ icon status
I like the sound of that
I'm often accompanied by the sound of claps
Other rappers be always makin’ the sound of cap
At the present my favourite song be the sound of Afrikans
Elevatin' to take what is ours back
Ukwu m down on di gas
I dey go carry mantle
Una go carry last
Hmmph
By the time my daughter studies the past
I’mma be the curriculum of the class
Good good good evening sa
Yah
