Charlie Hilton - Icons lyrics

[Verse 1: Frank Ramz] So ignorant to the fact that the sh** we put in our raps attract a certain energy, Always pushing us back, I'm tryna whip up a remedy Just to keep us on track cause according to my memory They've been laughing at blacks for more than a couple centuries I wasn't there for that but I paid attention to history And this has been a fact since I was in elementary Now that I'm more intact it's not making any sense to me If I had a dime for every time that I saw somebody living out a rhyme, I could re-design america The clothes and the hoes and the bottles and etc Society got motherf**ers afraid to be regular, yo That's why I relate to Regular Joe We could keep these thoughts in our heads but it's better you know b**hes will step up on the scene in something that they just seen Within the pages of one of their favorite magazines And now shes feeling so clean, but back when she didn't have it She was a misery magnet, dreaming of living lavish Admiring Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose Wishing she could change her skin color but that's something that you can't control Feeling so alone looking for a hand to hold Imagining walking down that red carpet while cameras roll...

Drink enough and you permanently won't be feeling no pain I'm wondering what the f**s going on in you n***as brains Our lack of independent thinkers gives us a bad name If a n***a say pop bottles than that's what we do If he say he wear Gucci then we be copping it too If Nicki perming her hair these b**hes following suit They'd rather follow a gimmick instead of following truth But I di-gress, why yes, I wouldn't mind another bottle of Moscato To take away my stress I guess, that euphoric feeling is like hitting the lotto, I know
