Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm

I'm over the top, so what?

I'm just tryna give 'em all the what they want

No, I ain't hard to love

They know a thing like me is once in a lifetime

Spotlight on me, even when we laying in the dark

I don't even mind 'em seeing all my battle scars

Couple twists and turns, they took me straight to where we are

Outta the ashes, I'm coming alive

I think that's why they eyein' me

Watchin' me, my legacy

I took it to the top

From the start, never stop

I ain't going nowhere, I'm an icon

When all them other nobodies are long gone

I don't even need to turn the mic' on, ay-ya-ya-ya-ya

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic

Chasing the footsteps, you're tryna act too blessed

Tryin' too hard, na-na, ooh-ooh

But you best better stay calm, stop trying to be too on

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic

Don't gotta tell me twice

I'm just tryna give 'em all the what they like (like)

Got me so up, I'm fly (yeah)

Up in a lifted state of mind (yeah)

Imagine you living the high life, every second of your life

Everything better, I'm loving the view from the high rise

Even when it's high tide, I know that you wanna

Get into the middle of my ocean, you gotta

Gimme all my props 'cause, baby, I'm a hustla

When they talk about me they all saying, "Oh, I love her!"

I ain't seeing no lies, look here, I'm the highlight

If you had my love, you'd love me for your whole life

I think that's why they eyein' me

Watchin' me, my legacy

I took it to the top

From the start, never stop

I ain't going nowhere, I'm an icon

When all them other nobodies are long gone

I don't even need to turn the mic on, ay-ya-ya-ya-ya

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic

Chasing the footsteps, you're tryna act too blessed

Tryin' too hard, na-na, ooh-ooh (ooh)

But you best better stay calm, stop trying to be too on

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

Damn, I got it, I'm iconic
