[Part I]

[Intro]
Hoo-hoo
Yeah
Na na na (ad libs)

[Chorus]
At the gate, yeah (Yeah)
God don’t make no mistakes, watch your faith, bruh (Skrt, skrt)
Yeah, time don’t wait, no (Aye)
You can’t stay, earth decays, time to let go (Ooh, yeah)
Aye (Sheesh), everything gon’ end (End)
Live my life on ten (Yeah)
Face it, can’t pretend (Yeah)
Either slave or free
Who you gon’ let lead?
Shine my light, high beams
On the race, full speed

[Verse]
Yeah, ayy, thinking ’bout my future, can’t be neutral, so intentional, yeah
Started switching gears when He appeared and showed which way to go (Aye)
Homie had the drive, but suicide was in his plan, though (Woah)
‘Cause he copped the Lambo, what he needed was the Lamb, oh
Ooh, outside looking clean, inside looking empty, ooh, yuh (Empty, empty, empty)
You ain’t feel complete, half-off like it’s semi, ooh, yeah
‘Bout to crash, from the truth, yeah you dash it
Need the stack where the stash everlasting

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything gon’ end
Live my life on ten (Yeah)
Face it, can’t pretend (Yeah)
Either slave or free
Who you gon’ let lead?
Shine my light, high beams
On the race, full speed

[Chorus]
At the gate, yeah (Yeah)
God don’t make no mistakes, watch your faith bruh (Skrt, skrt)
Yeah, time don’t wait, no (aye)
You can’t stay, earth decays, time to let go (Ooh, yeah)
Aye, everything gon’ end (End)
Live my life on ten (Yeah)
Face it, can’t pretend (Yeah)
Either slave or free
Who you gon’ let lead?
Shine my light, high beams
On the race, full speed
[Part II]

[Verse 1]
Scenery, yeah
Let’s take it back, I’m talking Naija things
’96, crossed that ocean, hit that Texas scene, hey
A better future, yeah, that came for me
What can I say? Came a long way, ayy
Life changed overnight, yeah
Family funds were tight, yeah
Parents working nights, yeah
Just so we’d survive, yeah
God was on our side, yeah
Said “We’ll be alright, yeah
Just hold tight, yeah
Greatness in your sight, yeah”

[Chorus]
I-C-O-N-I-C
Iconic, yeah
Counted us out ironic, yeah uh
Who’da thought it? uh
God, He don used the sonics, yeah
I came from the bottom for real
We rose from the bottom for real
I came from the-
We rose from the bottom for real
Iconic
Counted us out ironic, yeah
Who’da thought it? Yeah
God, He don used the sonics, yeah

[Verse 2]
Right on time, God had done elevated me
I had to climb, we ain’t come up the easy way
On the incline, got all this pressure put on me
But it make diamonds, peepin’ the shine, now they want mine, yeah
Now it’s time, God done took me off the shelf
If I changed, I became a true reflection of His wealth
With the price, yeah, He bought me, I’m so free thanks to His help
Took some time, who’d thought that I’d succeed being myself? Woah

[Chorus]
I-C-O-N-I-C
Iconic
Counted us out ironic
Who’da thought it?
God, He don used the sonics
I came from the bottom for real
We rose from the bottom for real
I came from the, we rose from the bottom for real
Iconic
Counted us out ironic
Who’da thought it?
God, He don used the sonics

[Part III]

[Verse 1]
Ease my mind, yeah, have Your way, yeah
Free my mind, yeah, I would pray Lord
Have Your way, aye, have Your way here
Everyday, yeah, yeah
‘Cause You see that it gets hard, I get tired
But He rose, so in spite
Walk by faith, not by sight
Life was dark, I was blind
I’ve been down, not for long
Ain’t the end, pass it on
Got a light, I’ma shine
This the start, not my prime, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Lord, what You want I’ma do
Yeah, I’m part of your crew
Really nothing You can’t do
With You, I could never lose
Ooh, ooh, anybody You can use

[Chorus]
I came from the bottom for real, yeah
We rose from the bottom for real, yeah
I came from the-
We rose from the bottom for real
Iconic
Counted us out ironic, yeah uh
Who’da thought it?
God, He don used the sonics
