Bas - Icarus Lyrics
[Bas:]
Since I've let go of you and I
Lately I've been feeling too alive
Flying too close to the sun, yeah
Flying too close to the sun, yeah
[Ari Lennox:]
Oh yeah
Trees that grew between us
Tears that drip between us
Years have blew between us just to throw away
Might've lost our glory, but I love our story
Yeah I lock the door just to store it away
[Bas:]
They say love don't cost a thing
They say love don't cost a thing
Oh yeah right that's a underbid
That's a underbid
That's a underbid
They say love don't cost a thing
And you know they be lying like Kellyanne Conway
I just get my thoughts off, I just take the top off
When the cauldron bubble, we come from the back block
So they call us trouble, we can never slouch nor stop off
Weekend on the couch with the socks off
Nah, we can make it count, run the clock off
We can count lives on the block lost
Cautionary tape, that we can never block off
All I see is hate, how many memories can a million make?
Opinionated, young nigga seen the whole world with my own two
What they gon' do with this young nigga?
Whole squad workin' on the same page like we one nigga
Like we one
I can't get jiggy with you clowns
I'm busy I've been giving New York City a whole new sound
Who really gon' hold this down? Who? Me, funny
I catch niggas gettin' sore when I do me
I still wish them niggas more than they do me
Gotta live up to the blessings of my Umi
Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above
Never read the "Art of War" but it's hard to love
Never know when you go rollercoaster
All your highs got a low, rollercoaster
Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above
Never read the "Art of War" but I could write the Art of Love
[Ari Lennox:]
Oh yeah
Trees that grew between us
Tears that drip between us
Years have blew between us just throw away
Might've lost our glory, but I love our story
Yeah I lock the door just to store it away
[Bas:]
The inner me is tellin' me, "I gotta pace it"
The winner in me is tellin', "I got a bottle of Ace"
Cole gave me at the Garden from the case, hold
Stand up, looked 'em in the face
Told 'em I can't pop it til sell it on my own occassion, bold claim
Told my momma I'd be back and I make it, both came true
Thought I was escapin', just to find myself right back in the Matrix, both pills blue
I thought I'd be fulfilled
I came from not a dollar in my momma basement
I came from baggin' product in my momma basement
Almost lost some shells tryna bust a couple sales
They went and caught a collar in my momma basement
I've been tryna keep her proud since, nigga way back
Got some niggas, keep me grounded, that's some way back
But I gotta take flights sometimes
These are fightin' times, I'm my only opponent
Somedays I'm betrayin' my holiest moments
I don't know who could control 'em
I don't know who could control 'em
I ain't living for me, I'm the youngest of five
And if I don't survive, I don't know who could console 'em
I don't know who could console 'em
Since I've let go of you and I
Lately I've been feeling too alive

Bas Icarus Comments
1:15 my favorite part of the song
I remember when I first found this hidden gem, I faded into another dimension. Especially when that bass dropped.
This instrumental is so unique. Anyone know if it was sampled? Dont know how producers make music like this
Even tho I'm broke as fck, imma start buying artists music, cause all I do is convert songs off youtube... I need this and earth gang new joint
Spiritual Alignment
These Lyrics You Got Fuuucked Boii!!! Wtf Is Thiss!😡😤
Im mad how i found out this dropped last yr
They say love don't cost a thing..
Bas- But you know they be lying like kelly and conway!! 😂😂
Underrated. Not rated correctly.
Album of the year..
this song needs way more attention shit got killed by Ari and bas
So underrated.. but at the same time kinda dont want other people tondiscover Bas and make him mainstream😐
So fuck you all
I love you all
Yo to all pussy niggas I run the LA streets you feel me
Fuck niggas I’m white and you cannot do anything to me “you know what I’m saying “
This gave me chills 😩😩😩
I love this song
I'm in love, no foreal💌
My only regret is that I'm so late to the game 🔥🔥🔥
You're here now. That's all it matters
momandbro8 Facts🤝‼️
Better late than never
Spiritual alignment
If your reading this your cool af 💕
You too man
you’re* but you too my guy. 😂
Underrated lyricist and flow. Both on display here. If you’re just now getting wind of BAS, you’re in for a treat. Dreamville, like TDE never disappoint.
Samuel Muriithi Earthgang, J.I.D, Bas got me lit 24/7. I had a falling out with hip-hop throughout highschool in the early 2010’s but Cole and TDE gave me faith in hip-hop. Watching how they progressed the game makes me excited as fuck and I’m happy to see how rap still is still developing to this day
first time listening to this and i just got hit with a wave of happiness as soon as he dropped his first line
bas will forever be underrated and it's a damn tragedy
100k views is purw disrespect
Late night highway music
Damn, We few down n low are the ones who recognize good music and see them come up. Beautiful thing to see.
Yo. I wana know who's promoting this mans art....because theyre doing a TERRIBLE fucking job. He's not getting the attention he deserves. And one of Dreamvilles main soldiers! How is it that Bas was there before JID and JID is ringing more bells than Bas. I love them both but Bas deserves better treatment from rap fans and his company!
Ari’s voice is an instant nut sheeshhhh
Thank whoever created this earth for music
God created it! God bless you brother
Sometimes I'm betraying my holiest moments
Cold track
If y’all think that drop sound good on yo speakers you gotta hear him perform it💯 shit was live in Chicago Sunday 🤘🏾
You a lucky dude
This song is so damn underrated. Seriously? Not even 150k views?
Edit this
bas gotta story man. his people in south Egypt and Sudan getting kicked off their ancestral land which was ancient nubia. n now the people in queens New York where he grow up n all over the country are being removed from theirs homes because of gentrification
I’m from Queens and it’s crazy how fast the gentrification wave hit us. I’m not gonna lie and say that my area didn’t need improvement but... I just never thought I’d see “luxury” hotels, Starbucks, Zales, Chipotle’s, in Jamaica Queens. And now everything is going up and people can’t afford to live here or NYC as a whole anymore, it’s crazy.
I like bas but your an idiot first of all it was kHemet and no they was not kangz its myth is about as credible as flat earth. but at least get your fake facts straights lol
@jon castro kemet is in Egypt. Our people are descendants of kings and queens, it's a fact. Where did your people come from? Do you know your ethnicities origins.
@Jamon every nation had kings queens and peasants. So what's the whole we were kings thing supposed to prove? A lot of Kings were historically pricks anyway lol
@nj cowboysfan its to prove that we were kings since HE said we weren't. Saying they were assholes is an irrelevant statement
When he starts at like 1:30 and the best does that trip up, I get fucking LATCHED to the song. Glad this played randomly on Spotify and introduced me to Bas. Just incredible
bosciaace good shit bro dont forget to check out last winter if you havent already
That part always has me turnt!
Oh my god 1:30
Pesadíssimo, parabéns pelo trabalho.
Tears of joy between us.
"I'm my only opponent" real shit 💯💯💯
could "you and I" mean audience expectation? nah I'm just tripping
Favorite song to listen to while high bc I’m completely in tune with it
Dope cant wait till we open up for you bruhh!!!!!
🗣 ON REPEAT ALL DAY!!!!! Wake up with this song on my mind all the time!
Yo where's the music video ?
I love how the beat escalated throughout the song 🔥🔥
The production is insaneee
I think the quality of the intro/1st song is very important for an album, Anyway I will listen to this whole project ☝🏾🔥🔥
We need the instrumental
Underated album
Since I let go of you and I, lately I’ve been feeling to alive 💫
Flying too close to the sun yeah... Flying too close to the sun yeah!!!

never read the art of war
james brook it's actually a pretty good read. let's you inside of the mind of one the greatest generals that ever lived.
@E.J. Craig I thought it was about sun Tzu didn't know it had multiple generals
Its hard to love.
james brook it is about sun Tzu. when I said "one of the greatest generals" I was basically saying that out of all of the generals in history Sun Tzu was one of the greatest. like ever.
@E.J. Craig sun Tzu hell ya a legendary strategist and general
damn I was hoping for a feature with jid
Yeah bruh me too my nigga that shit wouldve been heat
