Icon Lyrics by Shuba

2022

[Verse 1]
You don't know me yet
So let me introduce myself (Hello)
My name is Shuba
You probably heard me sing as someone else (Oh)
From Celine to Shakira, Eminem to Britney Spears
I swear that my impression game was music to the public’s ears
The story of me? I've been singing since three
Learned from the greats specifically
My immigrant mother had taste in music so she
Introduced me to the best of Hollywood
Threw some spicеs in that mix
And made me love somе Bollywood too
Yeah, I didn't grow up with an idol
They all looked like Katherine Heigl
So I’d kick up my feet, scream at the screen
“Ma', they look nothing like I do!”
But that's okay, I'll pave my path and won't get lazy
And I'll do it with a little bit of flavor, Desi

[Chorus]
Spotlight shining on me
See me on the big screen
(I wanna be an icon)
I'll be selling out seats
And posing on magazines
(I wanna be an icon)
You're sleeping, I’m streaming
And breaking the ceiling
Watch me making my dreams
Promise you’ll remember me
(I'm gonna be an icon)

[Verse 2]
I’m sick of seeing superficial people on my screen (Oh my god)
I'd rather pay someone to poke my pupils till they bleed (Ahh)
Sick of being told I'm talented but underrated (Hey!)
Unappreciated, talent gone completely wasted
But I can't complain, there’s a reason for everything
At least that's what I try to tell myself when I get doubtful (Hmmm)
There's plenty teachers out there who can tell you more than I know
It's your call, but these so-called influential people
Convince you that your self-esteem has died
Lethal

[Chorus]
Spotlight shining on me
See me on the big screen
(I wanna be an icon)
I'll be selling out seats
And posing on magazines
(I wanna be an icon)
You're sleeping, I'm streaming
And breaking the ceiling
Watch me making my dreams
Promise you'll remember me
(I'm gonna be an icon)

[Bridge]
Woah, yeah, oh-woah (I wanna be an icon)
Woah, I wanna be an icon (I wanna be an icon)
Woah, yeah (I wanna be an icon)
Woah, mhmm (I wanna be an icon)

[Chorus]
Spotlight shining on me
See me on the big screen
(I wanna be an icon)
I'll be selling out seats
And posing on magazines
(I wanna be an icon)
You're sleeping, I'm streaming
And breaking the ceiling
Watch me making my dreams
Promise you'll remember me
(I'm gonna be an icon)

[Outro]
You're sleeping, I'm streaming
And breaking the ceiling
Watch me making my dreams
Promise you'll remember me
(I'm gonna be an icon)
