Icon Lyrics by Benga

0

Don’t you drag me down cause I’m living my life
Don’t you drag me down
I’m gonna live my life, I’m gonna live my life
Don’t you drag me down cause I’m living my life
Don’t you drag me down
I’m gonna live my life, I’m gonna live my life

Don’t you drag me down cause I’m living my life
Don’t you drag me down
I’m gonna live my life, I’m gonna live my life

Asking questions, I’m giving answers
Sick of explaining, who do you think you are
I’m gonna live my life, I’m gonna live my life

They say they know me, that they know who I am
They keep talking bout me but I don’t give a damn
Say I don’t speak right, that I dress wrong
Nobody from around me would say that I don’t belong
I keep bad company, hangout in dive bars
Thinking they famous, cause they think I keep toss
Forget the cruel words, my success is sweet
Cause I’m learning cash while they playing out in the streets

Whoa, you think you really don’t show
The nights that you’re losing control
Sell it by your own face
Acting like a disgrace
Don’t make you an icon
You think that no one else knows
The nights you’re losing control
You need to grow up baby
Acting like a crazy
Don’t make you an icon

Don’t you drag me down cause I’m living my life
Don’t you drag me down
I’m gonna live my life, I’m gonna live my life

Finding new girlfriends, let them stay for free
But they making out that they live in a big dream
They’re very scared inside, on the big scene
They’re running scared and knowin’ their pockets are empty
Feel the twisting, standing at the bar
Telling my friends they could have gotten as far
Don’t drag me down, I’m working hard for it
While they spend they days they too busy talkin’ bout it

Whoa, you think you really don’t show
The nights that you’re losing control
Sell it by your own face
Acting like a disgrace
Don’t make you an icon
You think that no one else knows
The nights you’re losing control
You need to grow up baby
Acting like a crazy
Don’t make you an icon

Whoa, you think you really don’t show
The nights that you’re losing control
Sell it by your own face
Acting like a disgrace
Don’t make you an icon
You think that no one else knows
The nights you’re losing control
You need to grow up baby
Acting like a crazy
Don’t make you an icon
