Icon - Rick Ross feat Anthony Hamilton
[Rick Ross (Anthony Hamilton):]
(Down here in the ghetto)
I can't see 'em running down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
(This is where dreams are made)
I can't see 'em running down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
[Rick Ross:]
I just came to get the millions
I just came for the millions
Young Hov, I see you n_gga
I got the Blueprint in my back pocket n_gga
I did what you told me n_gga
Look at me n_gga, I got so much f_cking money
Too many b_tches, the homies could f_ck 'em for me
Winning in real estate, opening restaurants
And I really don't give a f_ck who rolling the next blunt
Check, real n_gga born, Carol city raised
See you n_ggas scorn, I wasn't phased
It was a phase, look at my face
I wanna race, I set a pace
As a fat boy, I had to catch my wind
Get my laps on, double back when rappers spit
Them n_ggas know what's up, they throwing peace signs
F_ck that, I'm holding up an East sign
Get in my way of my money, you know what happens
N_ggas finding you funny and then they clapping
Round of applause, you looking at an icon
Snatch a bottle off ice, now pour when I'm gone
[Anthony Hamilton:]
One day I'm gonna be
(One day I'm gonna be)
Getting up out of these slums
Then they gonna see
(One day they gonna see me)
All that I can become
All eyes on me
(All eyes are watching)
Just a young buck tryna come up
I can be a nice one, I can be a rude one
I can be an icon
Living the life of a dreamer
Living out the life of a dreamer
Yeah
[Rick Ross:]
I'm very persuasive
I know a few masons
Crack dealers need me as their motivation
Started at the bottom, blind leading the blind
I did it by myself so it took me some time
No Dr. Dres, no Eminems, no Neptunes, no Timbalands
Just doing him, and I'd do it again
Self made real n_ggas feeling him
God forgives and I don't is what the streets said
You and I know it's on till the beef dead
Rest in peace hater, as I get a massage
No longer a Don, a f_cking icon
[Anthony Hamilton & Rick Ross:]
One day I'm gonna be
(One day I'm gonna be)
A f_cking Icon
Getting up out of these slums
A motherf_cking Icon
Then they gonna see
(One day they gonna see me)
All that I can become
All eyes on me
(All eyes are watching)
Just a young buck tryna come up
I can be a nice one, I can be a rude one
I can be an icon
Living the life of a dreamer
Living out the life of a dreamer
Yeah
[Anthony Hamilton:]
Damn you really go
Oh, this is where our dreams are made
Oh, searching for a hero
Oh, this is where success is made
Oh, down in the ghetto
Oh, this is where success is made
Oh, searching for a hero
This is where the icon
The icon, the hero, lays
