about

who is Icarus?

lyrics

Daddy I done fell from grace
After you done set the table

After the prayers said
Bowed our heads
Cooked the flour to make the bread
Smoke the sour to hold off dread despair
And torture
This earths a scorcher
Lawd it's hot
They can hold me down
Nigga I rock this rusted crown
On my throne of porcelain
Sword in my Sheath they forced it in
Hammer no nails all shells
Esiotrot easy or not ski masks is hot
So I rock a balaclava
Rosary beads and our fathers
While they on the knees copping please
Afouin my negus
Alms for the beggars
Palms full of lettuce
Bout these greens my greeds all vegan
No rest for the weary
I ain't off on weekends

They want me to let the beauty out
But I can't cuz I'm beast in
This the game of life no free spins
Plastic cars plastic wife pin heads
And some chirren I bid a good evening


No vacations resorts
Lead to results lead to leaking by default
That's my initial setting
I breathe through a wet breeze
Seas in destined to see from the flotsam bottoms so I stuck em and kept
composed as JR rotem
I am Stanley Kubrick
Clock work ernch
And I ain't given two shits
Whip it no crack all toonces
Me and two packs and that's what juice is
Box full of issues
And I don't sell loosies
Funk these negus leave me stretched out all bootsy
It's a coup where boots and titty tapping Pam
Dr who. Red alert. Dahleks on my set
Prolly popped a molly
Off to college all due respect
Wasting money daddy money
Crabby patties and Patrick's funny
Til he short and the block is dry
Then ya star fish gets hooked and dragged inside
Filleted for all the other guppies just to witness
If the product ain't quantified
At the rates that you enlisted
And that'll get you stranded
I swear y'all ain't pay attention to Chris' very last commandment


TheY want me to let the beauty out
But I can't cuz I'm beast in
This the game of life no free spins
Plastic cars plastic wife pin heads
And some chirren I bid a good evening
