Lyrics

Rel McCoy-Icarus

(M. Morley)

Intro

Far as you’ve come, Far as you’ll go

High as you rise, Far as you’ll fall

Chorus

How could I fly so high and still stoop so low?

I was young and so wide eyed no fear of growing so cold

I wanted to touch the sun but the waves begun to drag me down below

And the wings that I made melted away oh no I know I know I’m Icarus

Verse1

Yeah that’s me

No lock picking skill, silver spoon or brass key

No instruction included, minus the batteries

If I’m mad the apple don’t fall far from the crab tree

Still, hold it down by law, gravity

Sweet tooth for sour fruit gruesome bad seed

On a wing and a prayer over here don’t ask me

How a crowd pleaser rise off a updraft breeze

Had my day in the sun, sunning cats with wack steez

Taxin ’em, like, the only payback was a flat fee

Came out the labyrinth had to battle the beast

Been doing this couldn’t believe hubris had me

Pen and page, up and away thought I was that free

Now how am I losing altitude grad-u-ally

G-force pushing back, like relax I’m at ease

Still falling like leaves of deciduous trees

Chorus

Verse 2

Life was sweet like, sipping liquor through some liquorice

Getting twisted like my my teeth poking outta dripping lips,

That which seemed to fit, was really meaningless

I tried to get praise from my creations, I would take it and dip

Forsaking my gift and the one who gave me it

Carrying on, the most brazen-est spilly on the stage with it

I got around like a bagel is making cream watching cats get cheesed

At the way that I was taking it

Had to hold a thick gold paper clip savoury, most flavor-est

Please tell me I’m not the greatest-est

I saw myself in the same place as the saviour is

But left in the spot light, but I was not right

When they’d pat me on the back and say you’ll be alright

I had to take in the indication, take stock of my life like,

I should drop the mic? and become a lonely proselyte?

I still ain’t got it right but yet I hear ’em gossip like

Yeah, I seen you icarus, You’re the ficklest so ridiculous

And still won’t admit to it

You used to fit with this now your past you gotta live with it

Did it to yourself now tell us who the victim is? living in bliss

Says you’re sick of this so what the difference is?

Couldn’t picture this, cause you’re far too relig-ious

You know you must be tripping such a hypocrite

Says the spirit exists

I seen you drink gallons, blaze cannons and cigarettes

So what type of life is this?

Falling down I heard you had a bad ticker, serendipitous

So how ya living? Snubbed your nepotism, now, you aint that rich..

Icarus, slide off we won’t miss you a bit

Good riddens you misfit, your icarus

He’s not tight what a loss of a hip hop life

He’ll be forgotten like haha.. stupid troglodyte,

Turn off the lights, we’ll watch you dropping out of mid-flight

Chorus

Outro

Far as you’ve come, Far as you’ll go

High as you rise, Far as you’ll fall
