"IIcons" lyrics
[Skit:]
Man, what is your opinion with Naughty By Nature? Ma'am-
Icons, icons (Icons, yeah, icons)
When you-when you say the word "Naughty By Nature," you say the word "icons"
Oh Lord
And if you can't say it in the same breath, don't say it all
Take it to church
[Treach:]
Icon: a person or thing that is uncritically adored, revered or admired
Or is regarded as a symbol of a particular culture or sphere, etc
An idol
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Double icons, baby)
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Crazy is)
Double I-conquerors, 24/7 livin' legend
From Jane takers, ownin' acres, the record breakers
Known mobsters, hip-hoppers, you'll be vacatin' home
Visitin' hospitals (Baow) with scars above your opticals (Ooh)
Downed a dear one, watch him wear one, fuck a fair one
If I had a sneaker line, trigger's the logo, call 'em Air Ones
Ten bundles, big burners, burnin' the Branson
Bangin' a bitch, bendin' over, battle the back, writin' anthems
Who could hold me? Fuck, tell me, nigga, show me
I wanna meet him, greet him, defeat him then say, "Show me"
Shit started, nigga started, nigga parted
He's free to follow, he's free to leave, he's frigid hearted
I'm full metal, 'nother level, fuck the devil
I got four bags for four niggas and four shovels
I've been blessed with angels to stay untangled
With y'all angles, hey, that's just the way my thing goes
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Double icons, baby)
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Crazy is)
[Vin Rock:]
See we've been cheated then heated, some even tried to delete it
But still treated like royals when we're greeted
Believe it to be this, we don't perceive it 'cause we won't be defeated
Historal icons, can you conceive it?
And we done took time underground for us to rise on top
It's got clear for us to rock the spot
Don't give a fuck if you a fan or not, Naughty, we take props
And if you plan to plot, well then we cock Glocks
Eight minutes of slaughter got veterans runnin' for the border
Everybody's fightin' to go before us
Tellin' promoters niggas, "Yo, you buggin', they ain't that old school
Followin' Naughty, what we 'sposed to do?"
I tried to tell him it won't hurt that much, ain't tryna cut your nut
I'm tryna show some love on stage while I zip zap straight
So stop the frontin' on Naughty 'cause the damage we do
Just get your shit together, you can be an icon too
[Treach:]
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Double icons, baby)
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Crazy is)
But it was just heat to swords, never switch stop award
You scared to show up like a bitch hopper would
Durin' that warn paper, or cash Naughty caper
Make you stick to your word like I use forty staplers
Pro ho slappin', ain't your average rappin'
We could make it happen, happen, battle rappin' or candle tappin'
Shit, the soup you make, it can stack, shoot ya
Hate me is mutual, the whole kit and caboodle
Ain't my dog, you're my poodle, real season for treason
You have to see son, my niggas see ones with three guns
What's a worldwide achiever?
The great die young, I'm numb, Aaliyah made me a believer (Good bless)
They play me, I pull quick, wipe the wool with
When shit looks good and still braced for the bullshit
The bastard with bogard, come out with no scars
No lard, show up then fuck four whores in your yard
We shoot ya, we can't recruit ya
Whatever suits ya, pack the flame to fuck up your future
Stop stalkin', tell your brother's wife
What you pulled out was harmless like Barney with a butter knife
Trigger trench, Naughty murder nice
Twenty-four security (How, how?), how? You never thought the snipe
I got Jersey with my Brooklyn clique (Brooklyn)
Was poppin' Glocks and shots for some niggas with some ignorant (Icons)
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Double icons, baby)
Come with me (Icons, baby)
Run quick, see (Crazy is)
[Outro:]
