They keep asking me why I'm not Iconic yet
They keep on saying if I really wanted it
I'd already have it so I must be lackin'
Show me the progress
They don't know me well enough to know I'm not about it
I'd love to be iconic but that's just what my flesh says
And I'm just being honest I know it's ironic
I wanna be up on this stage but never iconic
Can you say what's on my mind lately
Can you try to explain everything 'bout me
Do you think you know me better than anybody else
Better than myself when half of you just met me
At a Q and A at one of my shows
Don't you know I thought everybody knows
When I'm at those I just do my best to put on a show
It's hard to be vulnerable when everybody's staring
Waiting for an imperfection
They must think that I'm Iconic
Look mom they think that I'm flawless
Everything I've ever wanted
I lose all my morals in the midst of their applauding
It's hard to stop it it's so hard to stop it
And I don't I think I could've if I wouldn't have caught it
Maybe I just need to take a break for a minute
Try to see who I am just chill for a second
It's easy to get way to caught up in it
Don't mistake this break for quitting
They keep asking me why I'm not Iconic yet
They keep on saying if I really wanted it
I'd already have it so I must be lackin'
Show me the progress
They don't know me well enough to know I'm not about it
I'd love to be iconic but that's just what my flesh says
And I'm just being honest I know it's ironic
I wanna be up on this stage but never iconic
They keep asking me why I'm not Iconic yet

And I'm just being honest I know it's ironic

Trust me I am educated but this just doesn't make sense
How could being famous feel so degrading
When I'm not even famous and I don't know what fame is
But I can rhyme with famous
And I know that you know that
I've been working hard to get this song to reach your ears
Even if it tears me apart do me a favor hear me clear
What I'm doing is my favorite I would never trade it
If I end up being famous then I'm okay with it
Either way I'mma still be up every night
Doing everything I can to shine the light
They keep asking me why I'm not Iconic yet
They keep on saying if I really wanted it
I'd already have it so I must be lackin'
Show me the progress
They don't know me well enough to know I'm not about it
