Icarus

[Intro: Collard, Shola Ama]

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't

[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]

A King in my past life, I stand in my own body

Born again, bar God, I prove myself to nobody

Cold coffins, teardrops, spilt milk

Cashmere

My attire, no wrinkles found in my silk

I feel suspect (I feel suspect)

Wonder what my people might do to photo demons

If I spoke a word of my story would they believe it?

Paragraphs at them with these poems, hope they conceive it

Rather they admire my tone and flawless features

(Eh, wait)

Born 'n raised in Hackney

Never seen the ocean

Never learned the language

Never saw my talent till they showed me (what else?)

Didn't know my worth until they owned me

Walked the same streets as the ones who claimed I was different

Wore the same shoes, the uniform was kickers

Heard the same taunts as the cow that called us niggers

Heard the same excuses when feathers squeezing them triggers

But even for it all they still look at me like the winner

[Bridge: Kojey Radical]

I

Save the penny for the preacher

I

Taught my lessons to my teacher

I know, you're tired

I been tired too

(Ah)

[Chorus: Collard, Shola Ama]

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

Its been on and on, and tiresome

And I can't feel my limbs

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

[Verse 2: Collard, Kojey Radical]

(Oooh)

I seen a woman (I seen it), fall in the limelight (fall in)

I've seen a kingdom (I saw it), drown in the dry ice (drown in)

I hope you don't see, demons make me bleed

(Demons make me bleed)

Pray all my beliefs, fester in my dreams

[Brigde: Kojey Radical, Collard]

Devil can't win and they all know it

(The devil can't win and they all know it)

The devil can't win and they all know it

(The devil can't win and they all know it)

There's a reason for your fear

The devil can't win and they all know it

I know that you been dying

The devil can't win and they all know it

I'm sleeping with your fears

(I hope you don't)

[Verse 3: Shola Ama, Kojey Radical]

I hope you don't see

Everything you said was written in brow

Every promise that you made had cinnamon smell

Caramel scented, sweet like taboo

Shola Ama on a Sunday play Beanie mental

Had the living room spotless

Had the kitchen on comfort

Your Mumma taught you well, your Daddy didn't deserve her

They both made you perfect

You made me question if God could be a woman

[Verse 4: Shola Ama]

I'll take you in if you fall from the sky

Take off your shoes, help you walk through the fire

If love is lust, don't you know we can find it within?

But if your run expired

Icarus, cigarettes my life

Look at this, imitate my crimes

I'm not innocent, but innocence i tried

Not innocent, but innocence i tried

[Chorus: Collard, Shola Ama]

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings

Its been on and on, and tiresome

And I can't feel my limbs

I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings
