James, The younger - Pop Icon lyrics

Back before i was on
Any of y’all minds and don’t say that I was
Cause that’s a fucking lie

I was in my stew yeah I was grinding
Cooking up some shit that was tantalizing

I was fantasizing bout the finer things
Not the Prada jeans not the Gucci bags
Popped up on the scene like "Ta-Dow!"
Y’all about to see what I’m about
You gonna see what I’m about
Yeah you gonna see what I’m about about

And I yeah I gotta get high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night and I
Yeah I gotta get high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night
Yeah you know I get high yeah I get high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night

So you say you want to real me?
You wanna feel me? No you don’t
You don’t got the antidote

So you say you want to feel me?
You want the real me? No you don’t
Swear you got the answer though
Back when you didn’t know
When I knew I had to grow
Back before I had the glow
Knew I had to move slow

All you hoes wanted more
I played opposite an average Joe
I don’t fuck with them plain Janes
Then I’m up up in the stu

Then you wanna know what I do?
Work the beat like a yo yo
Then I grew out my fro let the shit lock
Earned my bars
Let em know I’m headed to the top
All your hit shit don’t hit you hit rocks
I ball like rock when I do it

I’m off top your girl gave
Me sloppy top last week
Love the chick when she do it
Sucked me off till knees weak
Then I went and made this beat

Smoking on that strong weed
Every time time I do it
It makes sure I live in the night
Guess that’s why I get high
It’s insurance on my life
That’s how I got by and it’s fly
And I’m fine so get off of mine
Imma stay on my grind

And I’ll be fine yeah it’s all fine
Just know that soon I’ll be the greatest
And you’ll be happy that I made it

And I yeah I gotta get high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night and I
Yeah I gotta get high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night
Yeah you know I get high yeah I got high
Just to sleep through the night
Just to sleep through the night
