Iceberg
Unveiling Depths: Decoding the Iceberg of Self
Lyrics
Ch:
Chorus
You can only see what’s poppin
Highlighting limited perspectives, emphasizing visibility of only popular aspects
You don’t know who’s an imposter
Warning about not recognizing deceivers
Different person when I clock in
Persona transformation at work
I’ll be taking home an Oscar
Expressing success, possibly in a figurative sense
But I got no clue who’s gonna take home best supporting cast
Uncertainty about who will receive recognition for supporting roles
These foolies don’t help for nothing so I know that they’ll be coming last
Criticism of unhelpful individuals expected to lag behind
Y'all think that y’all know each other but you don't and that's where it hurt
Pointing out misconceptions about knowing others deeply
You don’t know what’s underneath the surface just the tip of the iceberg
Highlighting superficial understanding, using iceberg metaphor
V1:
Verse 1
You ain’t been there when I struggle
Expressing absence of support during tough times
You don’t pick me out of trouble
Not being rescued from troubles
I’ve tried to make my suffering subtle
Trying to hide personal suffering
And pick myself out of the rubble
Self-recovery from difficulties
I'm broken in so many pieces
Feeling emotionally shattered
The pain just builds up and increases
Accumulating emotional pain
I need to find ways to release this
Seeking ways to relieve pain
I only got rap and got Jesus
Relying on rap and faith in Jesus for strength
I know you wanna break my fall
Desire for support but facing disappointment
But I ended with a broken heart
Reflecting on a broken heart despite others' intentions
So I decided break the silence,
Choosing to speak up against silence and pain
honestly I’m tired of being broke apart
Tired of feeling fragmented
Break the habit of a bad start
Breaking a cycle of negative beginnings
Break your word you are not smart
Warning against breaking promises
Break free from the flow chart
Striving to break free from established patterns
And break the ice to finally warm the heart
Using ice metaphor to convey the need for emotional warmth
AC I been cold by request
Referring to being cold emotionally by choice
I see I keep it close to my chest
Keeping personal matters private
Icy thoughts never the best
Acknowledging negative thoughts
Welcome my soul is a mess
Welcoming someone into a troubled soul
My soul never had a guest
Expressing solitude and lack of external influence
Take a seat and I’ll tell you the rest
Inviting someone to listen and share more
I know both of us are stressed
Acknowledging shared stress
Open now time to confess
Ready to open up and confess
