Iceman Captions

I'm an only child, no one could've made another

I have to father my mother and treat my son's grandfather like my older brother

The skies are grey in Toronto, they not a golden color

I know for sure that my parents, they look at me and see an overcomer

I'm looking back at them and these days, I see an older couple

I really hate those two words, they never bring peace

I came here to turn a new leaf and maybe finally get some sleep

Been so sure of my words that I haven't used a pencil

Been so paranoid that nothing in this world seems coincidental

I'm still healin' my own traumas, I've barely adapted

I really make the roughest days in life look very relaxing

I don't do psychedelics because I'm too scared of unpacking

I know it's a heavy-ass decision to bury the hatchet It'll take more than six pallbearers to carry that casket

I put the "man" in "manipulation" when I pay your rent and that is an obligation to our attachment

You keepin' your options open, for real, that's some me shit

I keep on rescuin' leeches, I can't believe it

Too many wire transfers bound to have a good girl's morals tangled

I think I also put the "man" in "manifestation

Either I'm too numb to this shit or the city is changin'

Niggas want me all bent out of shape, rattled, and shaken

My dad got cancer right now, we battlin' stages Trust me when I say there's plenty things that I'd rather be facin'

Shout out to the real fans that knew what I had in the basement

I'd much rather death than submission

How can you press the ignition and let some memories of the past affect your decision?

I love you 'cause of the history, but if we bein' real, I could never forgive you

You never called me back, but destiny's written, for real

Maybe I'm best as the villain

I'm seein' everyone's true colors, for real, I'm sensin' a theme

I gave you everything you ever need

My sixth sense is kickin' in 'cause all I hear is people that are dead to me

I'm turning on my read receipts, to let you know that everything that's said to me will forever be stored in my memory

I'm better off independent, they should let him leave

Since 2009, as I climb the ladder, they envy me like Nevada, but it never mattered

I need compliments 'cause lately, it's just falling-outs and disagreements, industry is really evil

It's been so long since you texted me, I finally took a break and now I feel like I'm on ecstasy

They tried to kill me once, but, darling, you just resurrected me

They say the truth will set you free, well, mine is gon' stream while you watch in HD

They say that karma could take an eternity, yours is droppin' the same night as me

Funny thing is that they ain't gon' compete, you gon' get yours while I'm doin' me

How many houses you build? How many souls did you heal off the back of your deal?

How many more times is y'all gon' keep callin' it soft when it's silk? Damn

Kept it a hundred on paper like Wilt

I made way too much in a week, must be two hundred and fifty at least

Like the money just grew off a tree, like the money just came in for free

MRI machine scannin' my knee, like how long you been runnin' the streets?

And I went bought a whip for my brother, same body, but two different colors

Am I a GOAT? Well, probably not I probably was, but you probably forgot

My honor comes from the shit that I do for the ones that I love, it's between 'em and I

You whisper my name 'cause the way that it carry, you can't even speak

'Cause you know all these niggas been countin' me out

This ain't fixable smoke when you see us

This shit like the bag that you bring on the plane, it's gon' carry on

I take 500K down to dinner, I never could learn shit from none of y'all

You niggas be hittin' the 'net for some love, you a tennis ball

Nowadays, y'all don't wan' put in no work Y'all just wan' jump to the front of the line

When you run into the Iceman, what you gon' do except freeze?

Girls from Atlanta call me Santa

I just gotta handle somethin' bigger than us

Go blow the dust off your plaques What was the year that they say you had slaps?

I don't remember it goin' like that

Got a real big heart, I'm a fucked-up guy, though

Those ain't my haters, those are my secret admirers

If it wasn't for me reachin' my hand, you never'd climbed up

I'm a corporate-America hit survivor

Out in the 6ix, I'm a national treasure

The niggas that back me gon' back me forever

They diss on the boy till they blue in the face I put all the faces that's blue in the safe

My mind on the money, I'm rackin' my brain

None of you pussies is actin' the same

Ironic 'cause the Iceman was a nice man, now I'm hot and cold

How you niggas go from askin' for some tickets, now you niggas tryna stop the show

All these niggas want a head tap, I did more damage off a body blow

Atlanta'll tell you 'bout my run, you know what I'm sayin'?

I'm quick to turn a hater into a fan

Niggas standin' ten toes on quicksand

If they could've been, they would've been, but they can't

Embarrassment the only thing I'm gettin' secondhand

I get mentioned a lot by a bunch of people that I wish I never met

We sharin' women that I already fucked at the height of my success

All you pussy boys losin' it and you need to take meds

Iceman back outside for the greater good

All of my opps, they dead

Don't even recognize none of these names at the top of the charts, I looked

I did press play on that ho Mid, mid, mid, skip, skip

Where is the GOAT? They need one The mirror's right here, I see one

What's up with life? It's lit But I know it get better than that

I know it get better than that

Secrets I know got you stressed

Will I take those to my death? Haven't decided just yet

I'm tryna get back in the flesh

I swear I could cry when I see your face

I'm way too in love just to let you walk away

I can't leave my brothers in them trenches, gotta lead the way

You gettin' bodied by a singin' nigga, yeah

Your baby mama ain't even post your single, damn

I still got love for your missus and her sister So I told Capo we can't burn them bridges

Why you walkin' 'round the facts like you're superstitious?

We G-block babies, we are not musicians

My niggas didn't have a pot to piss in Now they drop the top so much, they got a drop addiction

They call me Drizzy Drake and I'm keepin' the name

I really blow M's for the fun of it

Tryna campaign, yeah, Drizzy back runnin' shit

When I lost Big Mighty, I took it hard

If you my new girl, girl, you gotta look the part

Now I'm too hard for the fuckin' radio

You boys need to worry 'bout a jury in your life

I'm fuckin' power couples up

Now y'all names got redacted

I stood beside you, thought there was some good inside you

Situations like these, they force you to notice the difference

I'm not the villain or the victim, I am the author

My right hand guides the pen along the page until the chapter's done

You stick with your day ones

Trust me, the owl's glistenin' more than it's ever been

Strong opinions from the weak for four hundred-somethin' weeks

Their deep-seated resentment is what's fillin' up they seats

Your friends never had to decide if they wanna stay The strength of your bond has never been tested in any way

I've been on the longest run, I don't know how to walk away

Secludin' me might've been the worst thing that they ever done

Beat the game so many times, this shit has got abusive

Made a livin' off of oh-no-he-didn'ts, bitch, yes I did

Mistakin' my sons for brothers, but it won't happen again

I think karma's takin' too long, an eye for both of your eyes

It explains why most people die not knowin' who would've stuck by they side

I tried and tried and tried 'Til the R switched place with the I

I'm glad that you think that I'm soft I'm glad that you think that I'm shy

I need you to think all these things I got bigger than what's in my mind

I still haven't lost any sleep And I definitely didn't cry

karma has been on my side But I also just heard that she's blind

That bitch might just switch on a dime 'Cause she can't even see I'm a guy

Not scared of no suit or no tie 'Cause shit, victory always been mine

I act like the money's unlimited

How do they say they got classics If it's shit that you never revisited?

Then why am I boss of the business?

This might be the one year I won 'Cause I know how they like to position it

What happened to Drake from 2009 When all of the moments was intimate?

What happened to Drake with the innocence? I don't think we'll be seein' him again

Mind on my money, I'm rackin' my brain

The numbers they talkin' are actually insane

I don't wanna talk 'bout M's, I don't wanna talk 'bout friends I don't wanna talk about how this shit started, man, I wanna talk about how this shit ends

Sometimes, I sit in the parking garage and I talk to my watch or I talk to my whip

I've been on my "Just in case" shit I got a whole lot of names and dates and pictures and faces

Spent months in the corner, just me and my back I'm used to this, I'm numb to that

Should've put another blade in my back Should've stood over and double-tapped

I'm fightin' the man, not suin' the rapper, you boys is not listenin'

A little birdie said you did me dirty

I used to hate to tour, I ain't wanna leave again Now I know the truth about you and I'm free again

Until your new man cop them tickets, you won't see me 'gain

Speak on me and gain a lot, just like the dish detergent

How you fix your mouth to ask me if that shit would hurt me?

You know you did me wrong, askin' how I heard about it

It's over for us, I can see the curtain closing

Put a hurting on me, put a lot of burden on me

I don't like goin' to Vegas, I start missin' Virgil He'd be sick if he was witnessing this shit in person

Yeah, I'm goin' up, I'm goin' vertically

Eight figure bought out the neighbors, now figures turnin' the tables

All I do is shut down stages, my face never ages, I must be in God's good graces

If my emotions are showin', it's only because I'm ahead of what they got goin'

I'm tryna stay laid back 'cause you know the hot heads with me and they wanna get the payback goin'

People keep tellin' me smile, but bro is on trial, the shit to adjust to

Unless you know the G-way handshake when we go to shake hands, man can't trust you

Convenient amnesia from all you ballerinas

I never got a copy of the newest rules Apparently the title of the book is called, "Fooling Fools

It doesn't alter what you said or how it made us see you

Because you always made your career off of switchin' teams up

The owl never sees the cage The owl only wakes up to seize the day

To be the number one, you gotta lead the way

And to hold somethin' over my head forever, you're still a couple feet away

I told y'all I'm settled in my evil ways

Even when I cut 'em, I could never fade

I'm sixteen years in the game, this ain't Minute Maid

Your insecurities keep spannin' season to season

I could've fell back like the married rapper, but we engaged

What they say they just smelled? I heard they got special places in hell For niggas jokin' about evil when they did it themselves

I'm a real nigga and he's not, it's in my DNA

All you really did was cap like uppercase

It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor

Last time I looked to my right, you was standing beside me

How can some people I love hang around pussies who try me?

What's the get-back for people? It's TBD I look at this shit like a BTC

Could be down this week, then I'm up next week

It feels like nobody's there until you start givin' out two-tones And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone

I'm back in your city tonight, walkin' around with my head high

I done made plenty shit right out of two wrongs

When I was looking at y'all and cooking with y'all And giving out verses and bookings to y'all?

You always felt like this, man, what did I miss?
