Iconic
The Skinner Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna lose my brain,
67 said - people are strange,
So call the D.A,
California C.A,
Call your top gun,
Call you PA,
Call up Billericay Dicky,
I′m on the techtronic,
I'm on that supersonic,
Who got the soul food,
Coz i need to get on it,
Step on it,
Subsonic,
Iconic,
I'm in a checkmate
Telling you to wait,
I′m going backstage
To compensate my hate,
To compensate the weather
Compensate the date,
Yeah you doff a cap,
But that peakys fake,
Call up Billericay Dicky,
Man - I′m feeling wicked,
I'm on the techtronic,
I′m on that supersonic,
Who got the soul food,
Coz i need to get on it,
Step on it,
Subsonic,
Iconic,
Iconic,
Iconic - She's,
Iconic,
Iconic - She′s,
I'm on the techtronic,
I′m on that supersonic,
Who got the soul food,
Coz i need to get on it,
Step on it,
Subsonic, Iconic,
Get on it,
Step on it,
Subsonic,
Iconic,
Get on it,
Step on it,
Subsonic,
Iconic.
