Bas, Ari Lennox - Icarus lyrics

Since I've let go of you and I
Lately I've 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
Might've lost our glory, but I love our story
Yeah I lock the door just to store it away

They say love don't cost a thing
Yeah right that's a underbid
They say love don't cost a thing
Oh yeah right that's a underbid
That's a underbid that's a underbid
They say love don't 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
Cautionary tape, that we can never block off
All I see is hate
How many memories can a million make?
Opinionated, young nigga seen the whole
World with my own two
What they gon' do with this young nigga?
Whole squad workin' on the same
Page like we one nigga like we one
I can't get jiggy with you clowns
I'm busy I've been giving New York
City a whole new sound
Who really gon' hold this down? Who? Me
Funny
I catch niggas gettin' sore when I do me
I still wish them niggas 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 it's 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
Might've lost our 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 Hov sent him looked him in the face
Told 'em I can't pop it til
Sell it on my own occassion, bold claim
Told my momma I'd 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 I'd be fulfilled
I came from not a dollar in my momma basement
I came from baggin' product
In my momma basement
Almost caught some shells tryna
Bust a couple sales
They went and caught a collar
In my momma basement
I've been tryna keep her proud since
Nigga way back
Got some niggas, keep me grounded
That's some way back
But I gotta take flights sometimes
These are fightin' times
I'm my only opponent
Somedays I'm betrayin' my holiest moments
I don't know who could control 'em
I don't know who could control 'em
I ain't living for me
I'm the youngest of five
And if I don't survive
I don't know who could console 'em
I don't know who could console 'em

Since I've let go of you and I
Lately I've been feeling too alive
