ICON II: Lyrics
If your loop is dope, then I might give it a shot
And if it's not then imma sock you with a fist on the spot
Is he really serious? Maybe, probably not
But for the sake of this song, you'll get rocked and those jaws'll drop
This autist honest in like 70 percent of the rhymes
Inside lines, he might embellish from time to time
Carter's still realer then those basic acts
Faking facts, mixing my rage and teenage angst in tracks
Me and Cannon iconic, man there's no faking that
Intermedia the monicker, you might as well face the wrath
Claim this strange, "I can't relate to that!"
Cause my target is the artistic you're not even who I’m aiming at
Your brain's plain, it's as plain as that
Looking at me like "how the heck is he arranging that?"
Bad memory, bad at chemistry, barely got any friends to see
But I'll assure through words that those listening will remember me
Kryptonite, whatever, I’ve got several names
To match each separate persona that lay inside my mind-frame
It’s almost like my names Bates, lifestyle of the insane’s the norm
Like I was born with a brain deformed
Haven’t released in some months but when it rains, it’s pouring
Flood incoming, build an ark when a tapes reported
After three I was impatient, now you kids are just are stalling
And by the fourth, kicking the door in like I’m Christopher Wallace
Three fifteen, two thousand and seven
Now twenty five, seventeen and Bonds stay strong with my brethren
Six tapes or so, then a thirty-minute record, exceptional
At twelve, indulge in shifty plans penning flows so incredible
Brought in an often over-looked book of braggadocio
Not a rush that’s not adrenaline to meet the sixteen quota
Publish cunning uncorrupted, satisfaction is the salary
I’ll sleep with the fishes before I have a mob mentality
A decade and a half, them years came and went fast
When innocence still existed, no lectures bout a dangerous path
Before you made those lacerations to last
When you were living in the memories, not facing the past
Smart talking with a silver tongue, scribble sketches and novels
In compositions meant for math inscriptions, improbable
That i’d give in on a mission, dedicated to direction
Which I was still figuring out, still thinking with apprehension
Then ascended another obsession, first heard DOOM’s pen at play
Schemes in rhymes unseen, it must be my fate to replicate
Now run with Intermedia, bleed if you intervene with us
Talk our schtick and walk with it so y’all best be believing us
