Can I be a icon
Shine with the lights off
It doesn't matter
Not the man that you can write off
Always stood upright pursued my dreams
I don't give a fuck about what you say
About my means to the end that I know is destined
I done learned about some soul progression
Right now I'm going in a solar session
That's what the mic booth is
My nigga I knew this

I might just write through this
I might just like you shit
I might just stifle you
If you keep on tryna keep me down
Can't hold me down don't know me now
Don't know things now got no rings now
Got no g's now these hoes breathe out
When they see these shows we wild
Did you even see these styles
You niggas been in denial

Tryna run from the lights you gotta be a icon
Shining with the lights off
Did you niggas know my thoughts
Loners out there
Tryna make it on these Raeford roads
Now it's ten sixty seven
A nigga had to break the code
Did you know about the NilNonner on them cold streets
Walking with a hooded cloak and a crystal ball for the og's

Did these niggas know me
Did they know my fucking pain
Don't nobody got no father nowadays
It's so ashamed
Specially these black kids
Specially these rap kids
Caught up in this traffic
Tryna be the best and what happened
You fail and now you're in that cell
Won't get out not on bail
Unless you tell your tale

So that's what I'm here to do
Be a fucking icon
Nigga you know that I shine
Even with them lights off
Met to be a star I'ma shine regardless
I rhyme on the hard shit
Fuck that crime shit

This is that rap shit you know it
This shits echoic
Always wanted to be heroic
Always write my shit in bold print
Not much of a stoic
But I know shit that is gnomic
Remember the nag hammadi
With the gnostics
Now you know it

I'm just owed it I'ma show it
I'ma blow bitch
You gonna know bitch
I got new shit you got no shit
You got old shit that I don't play bitch
Don't say shit if you ain't a icon
Niggas tryna shine
Even when them lights off
Know what it is
I'm not the nigga that you can just write off
I'ma share my thoughts

And I'ma make em feel it
The NilNonner made a villain
Niggas tryna make me degrade my feelings
No way
It don't matter if you agree or don't agree
You gon get caught up
When you see this null emcee
Stepping and grabbing the mic with the cloak on
Nigga share my own thoughts
To the whole world and it goes on
I'ma be a icon
True niggas shine
Even with the fucking lights off
I'ma give you my heart

And top the charts
And do all those things
Just to end up in another river stream
Laid out flat with an infinite eight
Across my chest
Now I'ma tell you what this nigga is today
There it goes
