By Mistake

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked in late, no plan Wrong door, right smoke They said, "Who's that?" Then the room went broke I tripped on the crown, my bad Still made the whole thing shift I beat iconic by mistake Now they can't unsee this They threw their shade in stacks I wore it like gold Every laugh turned mean Then it turned me bold [Pre-Chorus] Look at the damage now Look at the line I drew All of that heat on me Made me shine right through [Chorus] By mistake, by mistake I went and made a name By mistake, by mistake All that hate lit my flame They called me out, I rose They threw it, I remained By mistake, by mistake Now iconic is my name (iconic) [Verse 2] They wanted me folded up Quiet, small, and sweet But I learned the hard way How to dance on beat Every dirty word they hurled Had a silver edge I kept every scar Now it's art on the ledge I lost some friends to the noise Gained a louder voice What they meant to break Made me their first choice [Pre-Chorus] Look at the damage now Look at the line I drew All of that heat on me Made me shine right through [Chorus] By mistake, by mistake I went and made a name By mistake, by mistake All that hate lit my flame They called me out, I rose They threw it, I remained By mistake, by mistake Now iconic is my name (iconic) [Bridge] I didn't chase the throne It found me in the rain Hands full of all their doubt Still I wore the stain Now every "you can't" sings When I step in the frame Funny how the wound Turned into my fame [Final Chorus] By mistake, by mistake I went and made a name By mistake, by mistake All that hate lit my flame They called me out, I rose They threw it, I remained By mistake, by mistake Now iconic is my name (iconic)
