Mic King – iCONIC

[Hook]

I knew I’d make it to here
I know I’m taking it there
That’s why I’m staying prepared
I’m feeling like myself, my nigga, I’m iconic.
I knew I’d be the example
I know it isn’t a gamble
That’s why I’m changing the channel
I’m feeling like myself, my nigga, I’m iconic.

[Verse One]

None of y’all coulda predicted me
I march to my own drum conducting a different symphony
I'm thinking future me's independently intervened
By sending me memories in my dreams at least it fits the theme
My mystery's in the in-betweens
Sometimes I don't even know how I'm getting these victories
Is it my obsession with symmetry?
An inner need to never rest until the rest is history?
Rap and business, same difference
In both I’m technical and charming and stretch an insane distance
In both I changed the game so my presence creates tension
On the road success cuz they failed at the same mission
I make moves, their breakthroughs are fake news
All in all I’m just grateful I ain’t you
Examine the I, be rather surprised
As iCON: I Started small then always capitalized
Wassup?

[Hook]

I knew I’d make it to here
I know I’m taking it there
That’s why I’m staying prepared
I’m feeling like myself, my nigga, I’m iconic.
I knew I’d be the example
I know it isn’t a gamble
That’s why I’m changing the channel
I’m feeling like myself, my nigga, I’m iconic.

[Verse Two]

I’m the New testament, King James version
Making concerted efforts not to be the same person
I get it now cuz we the share the same circuits
I rewired mine, but them feelings may surface
Healing became urgent, I had to confront it
Now I work through issues by being the dad that I wanted
I was often at a loss like the vatican’s budget
But I see that pushed me harder as I stand at the summit
Thanks.
There really was - no either or between the Korean War
And “my cherie amour”, match that with being poor
In New York, it’s not an even score
There’s so much - I don’t know, maybe you needed more
I’ve seen it all, I’ll pass it along
Sometimes you learn by example when the example is wrong
We broke bread and the cycle in plenty of time
And like I told when you I saw you, your city is mine
Now...
