Iconic
Chance The Rapper Mike Tyson Madonna Lyrics

If you try to fuck it up again
If you attempt to ruin your destiny again

Destiny will choose you in the end
You'll have to face the consequences of your actions, which will ultimately affect your destiny

If you don't make the choice
If you don't make a decision

And you don't use your voice
And you don't speak up

Someone else will speak for you instead
Someone else will make decisions and speak for you instead of you doing what you should have done

What you want is just within your reach
You can achieve what you desire

But you gotta practice what you preach
But you need to follow through with what you say

If you use sweat and tears
If you are willing to work hard

And overcome your fears
And overcome your anxieties

Never let the fire inside you leave
Never let go of that motivation inside of you

I can, Icon, two letters apart
I can be an Icon, which is only two letters different from being just an 'I can'

One step, away, of being lost in the dark
You're just one step away from being lost in despair

Just shine your light like a beautiful star
Just let your inner light shine and radiate

Show the world who you are
Show the world your true self

There's another part of you no one sees
There's a side to you that no one knows about

There's a burning fire that's underneath
There's an inner drive that motivates you

Baby don't you know you were meant to be
Don't you know that your purpose in life is to be

Meant to be
Meant to do something extraordinary

Tell me I'm no good and I'll be great
If you criticize me, it will only push me to become better

Say I have to fight and I can't wait
If you tell me that I need to work hard, I'll take the challenge eagerly

Standing in the wings
Waiting for your big moment

A butterfly that stings
Someone who appears gentle but can actually make an impact

I will rise above cause it's my fate
I will overcome all obstacles because it's my destiny

Firefly chain, wanna catch you
People are attracted to your talent like fireflies to a light

Wanna put you in a net for their light glow
They want to use you to enhance their own reputation

Yellow brick high way, paparazzi pile-up on the high road
This is an allusion to the Wizard of Oz, where paparazzi are like the people on the yellow brick road, stopping at nothing to get to the end where the Wizard (fame and fortune) awaits

They just turned the sun into an idol
They've turned your talent into something to be worshiped

Just to find how it feel to fall bad
They just want to see you fail so they can feel better if you do

Madonna said I remind her of Michael
Madonna says I remind her of Michael Jackson

Steady blowing up my head, blowing up my head
She's giving me too many compliments

Put it on your wall
Hang it up like a trophy

Put me in the school book, put me in the laws
Make me famous historically or legally

Put me in a descant in the Synagogue
Make me famous religiously

Firefly gold, wanna catch ya
People see you as a valuable asset to catch (like a firefly)

Wanna catch you when your lights go dim
They want to take advantage of you when you're not at your best

Wanna turn you to a letter in their logo
They want to use you to enhance their own brand

Wanna stick you in a jar with a pen
They want to capture you like a specimen

You're a icon
You're an iconic figure

Iconic, ironic
Being an Icon is both dramatic and peculiar
