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
Yeah right that's a underbid
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

    M.... G....

    you’re* but you too my guy. 😂

  23. S.... M....

    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.

    S.... M....

    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

  24. O.... U....

    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

  25. A.... M....

    100k views is purw disrespect

  26. L.... E....

    Late night highway music

  27. J.... H....

    Damn, We few down n low are the ones who recognize good music and see them come up. Beautiful thing to see.

  28. o.... J....

    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!

  29. s.... w....

    Ari’s voice is an instant nut sheeshhhh

  30. K.... k....

    Thank whoever created this earth for music

    K.... k....

    God created it! God bless you brother

  31. K.... k....

    Sometimes I'm betraying my holiest moments

  32. K.... k....

    Cold track

  33. Y.... M....

    Y.... M....

    You a lucky dude

  34. J.... T....

    This song is so damn underrated. Seriously? Not even 150k views?

    J.... T....

    Edit this

  35. B.... ....

    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

    B.... ....

    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.

    B.... ....

    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

    B.... ....

    @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.

    B.... ....

    @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

    B.... ....

    @nj cowboysfan its to prove that we were kings since HE said we weren't. Saying they were assholes is an irrelevant statement

  36. b.... ....

    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

    b.... ....
