Iconic
WUANT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quanto fiz today
Falam merda sobre o beat que misturei
Eu vivo boom bap (bap)
Foda-se o teu trap (trap)
Chamo o Hesú numa Scenic and I bust a cap (cap)
Tuas letras são wack
Tanto punch no track que ficas a ver black
Eu dou-te a guita
Esconde essa shit
De tanta weed já a guardo na sanita
Ready to flush, pega a kush
This shit an ambush
Pulso pesado, VVS
E ainda tou no rush
Pensas que lutas só tens putas e isso custa-te
Dás diss ao gang levas hang eu vivo wu-tang
Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah
I come from the Shaolin slum
Comin' through with nuff niggaz, and nuff guns
Fuck it
I stand by what I think it's worth it
Ain't nobody tellin' shit cuz they know that I'm workin
You cross paths with same deaths the game of chess
You can't pass through all the shit like mumble raps
Pharcyde, J Dilla
MF Doom e Nujabes
Não te acreditas no que digo, bitch então já vês
Não eu nunca conto até três
Bate o um já tás a lés
Não importa o que tu queres
Bateste a bota sem os pés
Imma be iconic
Imma be iconic
Imma be iconic
Imma be iconic
