College Park Album Lyrics by Logic

Cruisin' Through the Universe

Cruisin' through the universe (Ccruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin')
Cruisin' through the universe (cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin')
Cruisin' through the universe (cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin')
Cruisin' through the universe (cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin')
Cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin', cruisin'

Cruisin' through the universe in my spaceship
'Cause Earth girls nowadays too basic
Face it, look in the mirror, embrace it
You're a thot
What up, what up? I've been in the cut
I don't give a f*ck what's up, I feel it in my gut (yeah, ayy)
Shimmy, shimmy, ya, shimmy, yam, I don't give a damn
F*ck the norm', liquor got me feelin' warm

I'm headed to space with my team in a fleet of flyin' submarines
Submerge a hundred years into the atlas, then we're clean
When we surfaced, there was no need for money purchases
But my Wiz still has Chanel purses
I had a solid gold diamond encrusted book
The sole purpose was to hold important verses
Claustrophobic, they tried to bound me in COVID
But my strand of DNA, it cannot be decoded
I told y'all this, put those laser guns away
Before I black out and take your whole sun away
My star cruiser with a flux motor, vodka with the club soda
Ice in the cup holder, Bobby be that type of soldier
That I wouldn't f*ck over, turn to a supernova
The rap Galactus, five emcees my daily quota
My shuttle's a dream house, spa with a steam room
Pool with a logo and backyard is a screenin' room
Lookin' out my window, every view is a scenic view
They say life's a dream, I say that you could dream it too
Logic, Logic, yo
They say life is but a dream, but I say that you could dream it too

Yo, Logic, wake up
What, what, what?
Yo, it's like four o' clock
We gotta go pick up Castro, you're performin' tonight
Oh shit, alright, uh, but can we get some food first?
I'm f*ckin' hungry as shit
Hell yeah, I'm starvin'
Yo, throw me the keys
Yo, Lenny, I just had the craziest dream, bro
About what?
Yo, I was on a song with the f*ckin' RZA, man
It was crazy and weird, I- I can't really remember it
Oh shit, yo, I'll meet you in the car, I gotta piss first
Oh, alright, cool
Hey, you know what would be really crazy?
If you got the whole Clan on a song one day
Haha, yeah, right, Lenny
Gotta get out this basement first

Wake Up

Wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up

Can't get enough, no, I can't get enough
Took another route, no, I never ended up in cuffs
Had a gat in my hand, but I didn't wanna be that man
Look in the mirror, couldn't see that man
Pick up the pen, never stick up the men
Only pick up the stick if I need to defend
If I did it back then, might've dropped dead
Know a nigga do a lot 'cause he a hothead, I
took a ride through my city the other day
Wonder what would have happened if it all went the other way
Jump in the whip, now I reminisce
on the days when I was runnin' 'round the Ave
Could've never imagined the way that my life would have turned out
and all of the things that I have
I ain't talkin' material, talkin' about my material
This shit that I'm writin', the shit that I been through
I went through the worst, but I made it out
Like the Alpha Omega, to show me which way it could go, yeah, he laid it out
Instead of just sittin' on a beach, I'm reconnectin' with the streets
they wasn't payin' attention, I was prayin' for ascension
No need to mention my attention to detail
Homie, we will prevail
Lot of motherf*ckers wanna wake up every day
Then they murder their own, but they know it's another way
F*ck all the violence and drugs in communities
This song right here is immunity
They call it the trap, 'cause they trappin' us
take our money, then they don't give it back to us
Black man can't even get himself a bachelor
Dropped out of school then he picked up a spatula
'Cause he never had a good role model, just a hood role model
Now I know that's the old model, we breakin' that cycle
Think I see the finish line, got a vision now, don't diminish mine
Lot of brothers in the hood doin' good and I know I see it all the time
But they only wanna push all the drugs and all the crime on Channel 9
F*ck all that fallacy, this shit right here for my people
People that strugglin', people work hard as they can
but they still don't feel equal
Trust me, I know, I been here before
Trust me, I know, that feelin' don't ever go

Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up, every day wake up
Every day wake up, every day wake up

And on a beautiful Autumn day in 2011
Logic and his best friends
drive through the slums of College Park in a Chevy Impala
Around the streets of Prince George's county
Cruisin' through an unknown universe
Beginning a journey that would inevitably alter the course
Of not only their own
But the lives of millions of people around the world

Lightsabers

Logic
Talk shit, get hit, nigga
This is a world premiere
Logic, Juicy J, College Park
Takin' 'em back to 2011, my nigga

It's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
Yeah, uh, had a lot of bad ones this year, this, this year
But, but, but today's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
I've been up and I've been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
Had a lot of bad ones this year, this, this year
But, but, but today's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
I've been up and I've been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that's a good day

Livin' life like a renegade
Most people just livin' they life tryna get paid
Good fella wanna get made, tryin' to get that paper
Me and my neighbors, we shinin' like lightsabers
Ain't handin' out no favors, we lucky to be alive
Smoke somethin' to this and vibe
I hope you don't give up your dreams for a nine-to-five
Don't get me wrong, it'll pay your bills
But if you don't love your job, tell me, what's the point?
Don't disappoint, better make it a point to do it a better way
Everybody wanna get away
But no matter the shit that you goin' through
Already knowin' you know

It's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
Yeah, uh, had a lot of bad ones this year, this, this year
But, but, but today's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
I've been up and I've been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
Had a lot of bad ones this year, this, this year
But, but, but today's a good day (good day, good day, good day, good day)
I've been up and I've been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that's a good day

Let me get up on my MPC
When it come to makin' beats, I'm the MVP
I'm the main motherf*cker, you're an NPC
Got 'em full of envy, the boy from M.D
Destroyed what I see, deploy, then I be
The illest MC, braggadocios flow
Vein like an IV, and I'm all up in the system
Blink once and you might have missed him
Pack a punch, like I'm Sonny Liston
Better listen, like I always do the intuition
Never missin', 'less I'm on tour
Then the family, I miss 'em

Come and get some money (money, money, come and get some)
Some money (come and get some)
Come and get some money (money, money, uh, uh)
Some money (money, money)
Come and get some fame (get some fame)
Come and get some (get some, come and get some)
Come and get some fame (some fame, some fame)
Come and get some (no, uh)
(What then, motherf*cker?)
I'ma tell you right now (Hurry up)
Boy, you better calm down (man, just spit it out)
Boy, you better reckon who you talkin' to, I'm tryna talk to you
(Well, all this time you've been talkin', you still ain't said shit)
Shut the f*ck up when you talkin' to me
'Fore I bust your head, just for talkin' to me
Don't do it for the money (don't do it for the money)
Don't do it for the fame (don't do it for the fame)
Don't do it for the money (don't do it for the money)
Don't do it for the fame (don't do it for the fame)
But you did it for the money (you did it for the money)
And you did it for the fame (you did it for the fame)
You did it for the money (you did it for the money)
You did it for the fame (you did it for the fame)

Well, that ain't the same, I already broke in the game
If you knew hip-hop, then you knew my name
But I was tired of broke, it was time to retire, it broke
I was so sick of bringin' all that fire to folks that wouldn't pay attention
So I made it all from the heart, then I put it on the business
Cap, and the rest is a wrap, from the boom-bap to the trap
Bust like a gat
I did it for the money and I did it for the fame
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
And did it for the kid with the dream
Rappin' in the mirror in his room as a teen
Hopin' that he'd be seen by the world, and he would be (would be)

Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)
Yeah, be (would be)

Everybody in my business, homie
Give a f*ck about you and the critics, homie
Made a couple million, now they all up on me
I remember the days when they wasn't though
I remember the days when I was cookin' crack with my cousin
No, but on another note, I remember all the days in the basement, yeah
I remember no communication
'Cause I was hustlin', stackin' the ammunition
Know the RattPack was on a mission, homie
See the vision, me and my division finna make it out
Now let me travel in time to 2011
And pass the mic' to my homie all alone in his house
Talkin' 'bout where we grew up and hopin' we would make it out
Homie, make it out

Hopefully, one day, I get to be famous
Hopefully, one day, I'm hittin' these stages
Hopefully, they gon' get lit to these bangers
Waste off the set, one of these bitches just fainted
Hopefully we get this shit before we go and get evicted
I keep missin' these payments
Warrant for my arrest, 'cause I done skipped the arrangements
Sometimes I feel like I can't win, yeah, yeah
Plus 'round my way, bro, this shit can get dangerous
'Round my way, they always grippin' the stainless
Spin the block twice, if they miss where they're aimin'
Yeah, your chain for your life, and they're quick to exchange you
Yeah, that's just the way that it is, don't think it's ever changin'
One day, I'll say that I made it out
Look at my life while I sit in amazement
One day, I'll throw an obscene amount
Out in Nobu, ten band tip to the waitress
One day there'll be no debate about who the greatest out
Bitch, it's him, no replacements, we'll never choose the safest route
Put it all on the line, it's a risk, then we take it, one day

Hello?
Hey, what's up, bro, you at the crib?
Yeah, I'm just writin' this verse
Alright, me and Lenny are just hittin' a Mr. Burger
We'll be there in like ten minutes

Clone Wars III

Yo, yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah
Check it, check it, check it, check, one, two
(Now you're listening)
Yo, yo, yo, yeah
Check it, check it, check it, check, one, two
Yo, yo, yo, yeah-yeah, yeah
The one, the one, the only, the only
Check it, check it, check it, check, one, two
One, the, the only one
Yo, yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah
The one, the one, the one, the one
Check it, check it, check it, check, one, two

Uh, when I grip the mic', it's like I'm lookin' through the face of God
I can't even begin to understand why I'm so odd
Did everythin' I could to fit in, man, I really tried, but was crucified
There was days when I wished I was Cole, wished I was Kendrick
Days when I wished I was Lupe, hella eccentric
Days when I wished I was Jay and had the blueprint
Makin' fresh money like a new man
'Til I woke up one day and realized I'm Logic
Somethin' they could never be, lets not even acknowledge it
I spent my whole career at the heels of their feet
Doin' everythin' I could to try be who they be
'Til a couple albums back, when I was finally set free
By the realization, all I gotta do is be me, be me
Uh, anime-lovin', video game-playin'
Put that shit in my raps, people like, "What the f*ck is you sayin'?"
Comin' with assault and battery, imitation is a form of flattery
Tryna make somethin' so original, you can't flatter me
That'll be the day, 'cause everybody sound like everybody anyway
Man, there's only twelve notes to a scale
Nothing's original under the sun, nothin' new to unveil
It's like perfection (yeah), it's unattainable
See, it's more about the journey than the destination (it's about the journey, man)
Not to sound like a mom shoppin' at Erewhon
Let's bring it back a square one
Stay close to the iron, man, like Jon Favreau
Killin' shit up, Avada Kadavra (you are now witnessing)
(Yo, yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah)

The music, the people, the vibes, the money (check, one, two)
The places, the moments, of course, the honeys (yeah)
The bass, the stage, their faces, the crowd (yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's what it's all about (yeah)
The music, the people, the vibes, the money (yo, yo, yo, yeah)
The places, the moments, of course, all the honeys (yo, yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The bass, the stage, their faces in the crowd (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's what it's all about (you are now witnessing)

Ayy, bruh
Yo
Thank you for comin' to Mr. Burger, how can I help you?
Yeah, hey, uh, can I get a Junior Bacon Cheese?
Okay, we have one Junior Bacon Cheese
Yeah
What's the size?
Uh, like, a medium
A medium
And a Coke, please
And a Coke, Diet Coke?
No
No, Diet Coke, okay, one medium (right)
What do you want, bro?
Let me get, uh, let me get the number two
Oh, that's pretty good
Light ice on that, that soda though, Coke, please
Did you get that?
No, I'm sorry, can you please repeat that?
Wait, you said number two? Yeah, number two
I'm, I'm sorry, can you please speak up a little bit?
Number two
Okay, we, so we have a number two?
Yes, thank you
Uh, you want a drink with that?
Okay
Is there a drink?
Oh, yeah, uh, a Coke with light ice
Okay, one Coke with light ice
Please pull around to the window, it's three seventy-seven
Bro, I'm so f*ckin' excited for this show tonight
Hell yeah
It's f*ckin' crazy
Here's your small bacon cheese, with a Coke, not Diet
And your number two, with light ice
Oh, thanks, girl, can I get some ketchup?
Oh, sorry, it's in the back, one second
Damn
What?
A straight fat nigga fantasy
Fat nigga f-, what, what the f*ck is a fat nigga fantasy?
That fine-ass skinny girl servin' burgers to a fat nigga like me
Oh
That's the fat nigga fantasy
Here's your ketchup

Redpill VII

(Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah)
It never miss, the flow, it never miss, the flow (ah, yeah, ah, ah)
It never miss (ah, yeah, ah, ah)
It never miss, the flow, it never miss
(You are now witnessing)
It never miss, the flow, it never miss (ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
The flow it never miss (ayo)

Ayo, my flow non-binary, that mean it never miss
Feelin' meticulous, I'm ready to get with this ridiculous
Vehiculous sound, that means that I'm driven, illest around
Yeah, they know me 'round the world, but the flow is still underground
Only booze I get on stage is when I sip the finest
Like MF, most you niggas deaf, that's confide
Bottom line, I'm top five, red carpet when I arrive
But most days, I'm feelin' deep, realize
That's a medical term for feelin' out of your body
Like you lookin' through glass and don't recognize anybody
Like you not even real, anxiety what I feel
Tryna fix the problem, doctors wanna give me a pill
You know, I still think I could do it without that
These professionals really doubt that
Luckily, I found a therapist, straight from the outback
She's always there for me, when I'm feelin' down under
Most people is too scared of therapy, 'cause it's taboo
No wonder why we all f*cked up
Intrusive thoughts hit me on the daily, but I know I'll make it maybe
Everybody walkin' 'round like shit is gravy
Feelin' wavy, but they really feelin' out of it
The drugs all in their system got 'em adamant, they're fine
But in their mind, they know they're not
So they let the substance in their bloodstream
To manipulate endorphins
Cut off the pen, like morphine, but this just creates more fiends
Enjoy yourself, but don't escape in a substance
Dealin' with your problems head-on brings rewards in abundance
Whoever feel they imperil, I'm rockin' with you, like Garrell
Whenever you fall down, try gun, like Meryl, oh, yeah, yeah
It's too deep now, I think it's too deep now
I know you shallow listeners probably tappin' out 'fore you drown
Peep the sound, hold it down, I think the message over now
Let's bring it back to that old rap shit and start it all over now
My residency in the game is permanent, I'll never move out
Even though you doubt, never make a move for clout
Been real, since I moved through the canals
Spit so hard and knock a tooth out
When I did a show with Eminem in Hawaii
I brought the whole f*ckin' crew and through a luau
I might do MSG again, just to bring the woo out
They say your life is a movie, we finna roll the credits on you
Cart of medics on you, sicker than the dogs
I'm 'bout to stick up on you, rigamortus all up on you
F*ckin' around with the boy, in a ditch, where you finna be stayin'
You was sprayin', now you layin' in the ground
I'm comin' down, just to tell you that I told you so
No, I never sold you drugs, but I sold you dope
Suffer from anxiety, through these lyrics, I cope
Savin' society through lyrics I wrote, what's up?
Been grindin' to get my son's trust up
Only thing stuck up is the finger in the middle
My lyrics profound, they lingerin' on the riddle
F*ck all the little shit
I'm over and out, get rid of it, don't want any bit of it
My last album, I know you bit a bit of it
My shit is dope, now take a hit of it
You'd probably benefit from bein' in the f*ckin' thick of it
Flame on wax, like the wick is lit, bitch, the heat it on, like Vietnam
Got your life flashin' before your eyes, now you see your mom
First day of school, fast forward, now you wasted at prom
Fast forward, now shit is morbid, you dyin' of omicron
Personally, I hate, that's a Futurama rhyme
Want the dick and I'ma bend her, if she ugly, I return to send her
I pull strings, like Fender, push buttons like the Fender, yo, yo
Back, back, back, back, racks on racks on racks
I'm runnin' it back, I come for the stack
I'm gettin' this money, like James Yancey
If I don't get the bread, I get ancy
Pullin' triggers, like Tom Pancy, record label better advance me
They can't stand me, 'cause I see what they can't see
My vision go over their head, like Klu Klux Klan sheets
I love the energy whenever me and my fans meet
Jump on the beat and nobody ever handed me defeat
Lyrics, they never deplete, I get green, like cleats
Please don't test my reach, talk shit, drink bleach
Out for blood like a leech, peep the speech
Presidential suites, I can not be impeached, I never miss

Born to die young
To die of an overdose
Die of a gunshot wound
Or die of loneliness
This is the fate of so many born into poverty
To make it out of your hood isn't about sporting chains
And making millions of dollars
It's about making a difference
It's about making the right decisions
And in turn breathing life into a community riddled with death

Playwright

Uh, uh, uh, uh
You, you, you, you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy

Uh, uh, when the vibes is right
Chillin' with the homies, tryna dodge the plight
Rapper by day, but I'm a dad by night
You can have all the money, but your time finite
Uh, yeah, you know we doin' it right
Family over everything's a beautiful sight
Cruisin' in the Bronco on a Tuesday night
Most don't live they lives by the rules they write

Rappin' through the evenin', 'til I see the daylight
OutKast, f*ck the crowd and whatever they like
Logic known for tellin' stories, like a playwright
Stay black, brothers and sisters it's how we stay right
This that Midnight Marauder shit
Flow seamless over the beat, it's kind of like a partnership
(Aren't you nervous you aren't the best?) I never even thought of it
Ha, yeah, 'cause, see, for me, it's not a contest
I want all my brothers to win, all my brothers to win
For me, it's not a contest
I want all my brothers to win, all my brothers to win (uh, uh)
I'm pressin' in (uh, uh), the lesson is (uh, uh)
I'm investin' in (uh), the rest of them (uh)
I'm pressin' in (uh), the lesson is (uh)
I'm investin' in (uh), the rest of them (uh)

Uh, uh, when the vibes is right
Chillin' with the homies, tryna dodge the plight
Rapper by day, but I'm a dad by night
You can have all the money, but your time finite
Oh, you know we doin' it right
Family over everythin' is a beautiful sight
Cruisin' in the Bronco on a Tuesday night
Most don't live they lives by the rules they write

Oh, swinging through the evening, until I see the daylight
Let me know the secrets, until they feel the limelight
Swinging through the evening, until I see the daylight
Let me know the secrets, until they feel the limelight

Yo, that's Castro's apartment right there
Here he comes
Ayo, for real, like, I kinda gotta talk to him about tonight
Ah, yeah, f*ck, what's up, niggas?
What's up?
Oh, what's up, bro, how you doin'?
Bro, I'm f*ckin' excited
Me too, man
Man, I can't wait, we gonna kill that shit
Ayy, Lenny, you got a Newport?
Yeah, I got you
You got a lighter?
What? Nigga, goddamn, nigga
You want me to smoke that shit for you too?
Damn, bro
F*ck, man, here
Thank you, what you wake up on the wrong side of the bread?
Ayy, Castro, man, I gotta talk to you about somethin'
What's up?
Look, bro, I love you
But I don't think you understand the definition of a hypeman
What you mean?
What I mean is, look
It's the hypeman's job to alleviate pressure from the main act
You know, so, when I come and I say
"My name is Logic, if you don't know by now, I'm always on my"
That's when you supposed to come in and say "Grind"
While I take a breath, okay, so I can rap the next part
Nigga, I know what a hypeman is
No, you obviously don't, 'cause you too hype
You be rappin' the whole verse and shit, on stage, what the f*ck?
Man, calm the f*ck down, Logic
You too hype right now, it ain't that deep
Man, whatever, man, just let me hit that Jack
We'll be at UMG in like twenty minutes
Well, good thing I brought beat CD's
You did?
Duh, Lenny, throw this in, I'm tryna freestyle
Who goin' first?

Gaithersburg Freestyle

Yo, they call me DJBossPlayer (suicide my doors, f*ckin' all these hoes)
The hottest DJ in College Park history (all my chains, they glow, killin' all these shows, yeah)
Right now, I'm bringin' you the chosen one
Out of Gaithersburg, Maryland (suicide my doors, f*ckin' all these hoes)
Eighteen projects over ten years (all my chains, they glow, killin' all these shows, yeah)

Back to the beats, back to the streets, back with the heat
Motherf*cker don't, back to the, back to the-
Back to the beats, back to the streets, back with the heat
Motherf*cker don't rap, but discrete
I pack heat, drop bars at U Street
Float like a genie and I'm talkin' bars in Bohemian
Bitches are here to be screamin', Bobby in the basement, dreamin'
Me and my homies, we schemin', tryna get a dollar, we fiendin', ah
I'm just tryna get it for the EBT, bitch, real niggas never switch
I run the game, like a Switch, used to bus tables, just for the tips
Now these bitches beggin' me for the tip of my dick
Watch how the punchline roll over the kick
I got more stories than Slim, I got more stories than Rick
Motherf*cker, take your-

Pick me out of that lineup
Did the crime, yeah, now my time's up
Got out the box and I got in my bag
Now all of these bad bitches try and f*ck
'Cause I'm pullin' up in the, "What the f*ck is that?"
Comin' from where I'm from, gotta tuck the strap
Nuck, if you buck, if you bust, I'm bustin' back
No, I don't trust enough, 'cause my love is tapped
Say that she want it to last, good luck with that
Bitch, I just want the rasp, can't text you back
'Cause my thumbs are too numb, I've been thumbin' through cash
You niggas is bums, you rummage through trash
Throw a couple ones in your cup, then I dash
I'm one of one, but not the one that you wanna try to run up
Run up and I get you done up
When the summer come, you know I'ma sun up
Swear on my son and son, just for the come-up
Need another lump, been f*ckin' these blunts up
Looked at the gun, just for f*ckin' my fun up
Pumpin' your guns, motherf*cker, just shut up

Who f*ckin' with that? I'm ready to bat
All about peace, so I stay with a gat
I stay strapped, but not for no money, I'm takin' it back
No takin' it from me, you know it's a fact
I stay with the honeys up in that Impala, you wanna just holler
I stay with the bread, I stay with the toast
You motherf*ckers out here doin' the most
We do it for real, you front for the post (yeah)
Y'all niggas is gross

Man, f*ck all that other shit that nigga talkin' 'bout (talkin' 'bout)
Don't try to catch me in Vic, I'ma chalk 'em out (blaow)
Beefin' is beefin', it ain't shit to talk about
I want the smoke, you want the smoke (smoke)
I got a hundred-round drum in the chop'
And this shit get to rockin' when I get the load (brr)
I might just run up a hundred
And book me a nigga and really pull up to his show (go)
You niggas must be mistaken
The f*ck is you takin', you thinkin' 'bout robbin' me? No (bitch, no)
I'm with my youngins and we gettin' money (money)
They shoot, it mean nothin', I got it, you want it (phew)
It's comin' in bricks
Smokin' three-hundred to ship, I got your house on my wrist (phew)
I'm really rich, so I might bounce in a minute (minute)
She call me, "Babe" and I'm in it (in it)
I really get it, all of this money I'm spendin'
I act like this shit ain't no limit (whoa)
Bitch, I'm with the gang, I'm all over guys (guys)
Just look in my eyes, you see that I'm high (high)
I'm rollin' with slime (slime), you might see a .9 (.9)
I really come put this fact shit on your mind
The shit that I'm drinkin', three-hundred a line
But you gotta suck it, you not even tryin' (muah)
Meet me in a second, I'm pressin' for time
Hold up, slutty boy gon' go die, bitch (yeah, hmm)

Who real as they come? (Who real as they come?)
Been here a minute, but still isn't done
Estate won't be finishin' killin' the rhyme
Can't handle my business, my feelings are done
Came out the mud, so the ceilin' is nothin'
3-0-1, where I'm from
Make a wrong turn, get killed with the pon
Young ADÉ, they know my name, in 2011, had feelin' the front
Now I'm in back of the back
My hat to the back, which other half is some Yak
She throwin' it back like Manning, I'm plannin' on givin' her back
Now how you gon' act? Do it too big, can't minimize that
I live in iMacs, I'm gettin' my scratch
Life is a bitch, make her sit in my lap, I finished my rap

Insipio

Uh, let me get up in this bitch right now
Everything I got that's what I'm gonna give right now
Let a motherf*cker live right now
Break it down like a mental state in an asylum
Talk about timing, f*ck about rhyming
I don't give a damn about rhyming
I like the way that they jewelry be shining
Nope, that ain't the way to think about this rap shit
I'm a musician, I love the art
Shoulda never let you in from the start
It ain't one man or another, we one in the same
One of us wants all the money and fame
The other just loves the game
I've done some slippery things for change
But I made thirty million and my life changed
Finally found happiness when my wife changed
Used to make all my decisions
Based off the perception of others
Scared to do anything different, I couldn't get with it
Too worried 'bout others, f*ck 'em
Yeah, I'ma do me, homie
See if you was me, you would do it differently
But you don't got my pov
Talking 'bout one in the same, only one of me to blame
Recording these raps in my green room
But I gotta go 'cause I hear the whole crowd screaming my name

Yeah
That's dope, nigga

True wealth cannot be measured in gold
But in experience, age and everything that comes with it
Is a blessing
So many of us are chasing our youth
Fixated on the wonderyears
When every moment they have now is wonderful
Family, friends, having children
And shifting the perspective of one's entire world
In the blink of an eye
This is age
So while you look in the mirror
Thinking those thoughts
Just remember
With every wrinkle and every gray
Comes another day
That you're alive

Self Medication

(You must remember me)
(You must remember me)
Let's go, ayy, now you know, now you know
Yo, now you know, now you know
Ayy, now you know, and if you don't know, now you know
Now you know now
Now you know, now you know, now you know, ayy
Now you know, now you know
And if you don't know, now you know

I just copped a MPC60 from Japan
As I'm rappin' through this SM7 that's in my hand
Got a quarter-pound of buddha, I'm smokin' it by the gram
If I don't know you, then you know I'm dappin' you up with the left hand
Don't nothin' come close to samplin' ill shit
Not even self-medication, no matter how good the sip
Not the best weed or the things money can buy
When I fly, your rapid programmed, feel like I can fly
Smokin' dope, listenin' to endless samples on vinyl
My flow primal, it ain't mixed, it ain't the final
But it's still ill and it still will destroy you decoys
We do this shit in real life, y'all a bunch of motherf*ckin' e-boys
We do this shit for MC's, the DJ's, the B-Boys that destroy the track
Spent most of my days just tryna avoid the wack
Put it on wax, relax, count stacks, get racks, spit facts
Pop the VHS in, we ain't restin', I'm a beast
The best in the East, capiche, food for thought, this is the feast

Let it flow, let it go, you ain't know, now you know
You ain't know, now you know, you ain't know, now you-
Flow, let it go, g-, g-, g-, g-, go
You ain't know-, know-, know, now you know

Ayy, y'all old news (what?), I'm the fresh prince (yeah)
Beast mode on the mic' is how I X men (oh)
It's cocaine, when I write from the king pen (yeah)
And this syrup, your bro gon' lean in
To listen to me, I make 'em uncomfortable
My family was the opposite of the Huxtables
I learned how to f*ck from a babysitter
It's sick, but I admire the man in the mirror, oh
This rap, 1-0-1, learn from it (woo)
I act up, twelve steps, I vinyl chub it
And you can't stop the big fish if you gut it
But tryna stop me, you and your boys better cut it (hahaha)
Ayy, I'm on fire, nigga, F-U
You better protect your neck, with the vest too
And when Logic and Redman on the show
It's problems, bro, you ain't know, now you know

Let it flow, let it go, g-, g-, g-, g-, go
You ain't know-, know-, know, now you know
Know-, know-, know-, know-, know-, know-, you ain't know
Know-, know-, now you know
Know-, like-, now-, now you know
Y-, Y-, Y-, Y-, Y-, Y-, Y-, You ain't know, you ain't know
Know-, know-, know-, know-, know-, know-, know-, know

And today is the only day
And now is the only time
We have (we have)

Oh, man, f*ck you, Castro, what's up, dawg?
What's good, Lenny, Logic?
D.C., here we come
I got some jam and an ounce, where the bitches at?
Nah, where the beats at
Man, in my computer at my dorm room, like, shit, boy
Ayy, let me roll the blunt though
Ayy, don't f*ck that shit up, you can't roll for shit
Oh, shit, it's BossPlayer
Ayy, Boss, what's good, man?
(Yo, I'm at Bohemian Caverns doin' sound check)
(I just wanna make sure they have the right setlist for tonight)
Bet, read it off, what you got?
(All I Do, Mind of Logic, Bangin', Are You Ready, Stewie Griffin)
(Young Sinatra I and II, Back and Forth)
(Just Another Day, Stain in the Game, and Nothing But a Hero)
Yeah, sounds perfect
(Okay, bet, how far are y'all?)
Uh, we're still in Maryland
But we should be in D.C. in like forty-five minutes
(Okay, perfect, see you then)
See you soon, my beautiful black-ass African nigga
(Ayy, f*ck you, Castro)
I'm just f*ckin' with you

Alright, peace out, bro

A quarter million, that's my automobile
That thing in my glove, I need'a conceal
Why I gotta rap like this to get y'all to pay attention?
I ain't mad at the money I got, but some of y'all just don't got attention
To detail, broke nigga shop retail
Buying Goyard in the resale, f*ck all that
I'ma rap where - rap where the heart at
I've been building this shit from the ground up
Fifty M's is what - is what I'm worth if I round up
'Cause I'm, 'cause I'm - Fifty M's is what I'm worth if I round up
'Cause I do what I love

Came a long way, I went from E.B.T to B.E.T
Had to spread love to Brooklyn, where that's word to B.I.G
Face I.D the only thing I need to hit the V.I.P
They be like, "Wait, who that be?" (bitch)
That be him-othy
Shimmy shimmy yeah, when I'm shaking off the enemies
Ooh I like it raw, when I'm faded off the Hennessy
Tell me who at war, watch me turn 'em to a memory
I am not the one, I'm just a one that they pretend to be (yee yee)
When I'm gone, they 'gon remember me (yee yee)
What the f*ck you think you tellin' me?
Five bitches faded off the 'caine, I call 'em Denity
Bitch, I think I'm O.D.B, I might just plead insanity

Paradise II

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la

Cruisin' through the borderlands, catch a vibe
Fatherhood my hustle, nowadays I'm makin' music on the side
I confide in the page, weed smoke fill the air, like Sage
Thirty-two my age, I spot a couple grays
Feel my blood pressure raise
No longer are the days of my childhood
My priority nowadays is making sure my wife and my child good
Steppin' to me, I wish you would
Lord of the Rings, my bling shine like Elijah Wood (ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, the lows be low, but the highs be good
Beneath the sheets, like Elle Osili-Wood
I pick up the mic, on my Gotti good
Retired and came back, just like they thought he would (uh-uh)
Feel it and face 'em (uh-uh)
I'm tryna face it (uh-uh), the rest is basic, uh (uh-uh)
Ayo, I want you to play this (uh-uh), and vibe in the ride (uh-uh)
I'm finally happy with the man (uh-uh), on the inside
Full of pride (uh-uh), full of fear
Been a decade, but I'm here, seein' clear
Different motivations, no longer the people that's up in my ear (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I woke up early on my born day, like Nasir in '94 (ah-ah-ah)
Three-hundred-sixty-five behind me now, plus one more
My physical frame made it beyond what they said it would
My debut album did better than Reddit said it would
Made it out the trap, but I got my gat, yeah, that's a fact
I'm runnin' it back, like "What's up?"
From the cover of XXL to my moment of clarity (ooh-ooh-ooh)
As I excel at Madison Square, I swear
The rap game will split your shit like an affair
Prepare for the worst
And this business shit can get grimy, got 'em all behind me
Come now, don't try me, 'cause I'm me, the God
Study bitches, like I'm abroad
This is Dad music, pick up the pen and know how to use it (ah-ah-ah)
Plenty responsibility and me know how to use it
Appreciative for what I got, 'cause people could lose it
Take these lyrics and use it (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take the heart off my sleeve and transfuse it
I'm bleedin' as you listen to what I'm readin' (ooh-ooh-ooh)
No longer needin' approval and feedin' into the vision of the public
I'm above it, used to do it how they did it
'Cause I thought that's how you did it, now I do it, 'cause I love it
I don't covet everything they got that I don't (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Let me out of the water
Let me into your subject, babe
Let me out, out of the water
Let me into your subject, babe
Let me out of this water
Let me into your subject, babe
Get me out of this water
Get me into your subject, baby
Stop tryna make it right
Gotta get it nice and light
Won't you take me for a ride?
Take me into paradise
Gotta keep our heads tonight
Even if it makes a fight
Take me into paradise
Here I am in paradise

You know, I was just doing what anybody woulda done forreal

Shit, suck a nigga dick or sum'

Come on Down

We got Daquan here
Come on down
Now Daquan is from South East DC
He says he's willing to sell his soul to make it in the music industry
And today, Daquan I believe we can make this a reality
But-but before we make the sa-satanic act of reality
We have to ask
Are you ready for the blood sacrifice?
Are you ready to leave your life of love and holiness behind?

I want the world, I want the money, I want the respect (nigga, come on down)
I want the gold, I want the chains, I want it, I want it (nigga, come on down)
Never had nothing but soul, never had nothing but hustle (nigga, come on down)
Wanna be loved, I wanna be famous, I wanna be rich (nigga, come on down)
I wanna be anything, wanna be anybody that I'm not (nigga, come on down)

Let me get it all, get the money, get the women motherf*cker better give me like ten of them
Glock-9's I got ten of them
My enemies I gotta get rid of them
Since I was a little boy I wanted to be loved
Wanted to be hugged, but the streets wanted me to thug
Sweep my emotions up under my rug
Then call the plug, to sell me some drugs, to sell to my people to smoke on a nub
Sipping liquor by the jug
I'm trying to burrow it down, these feelings inside of me
Can't speak on the things that done happen to me as a child, I'm talking about sodomy
Oh no I can't let them see that side of me
Therapy that shit right there for them white folk
I sell crack like white yolk
Police they got me walking on a tight rope
Want me on sight 'cause I sell dope
So I'd rather just sell my soul
Getting this money my goal

I want the world, I want the money, I want the respect (nigga, come on down)
I want the gold, I want the chains, I want it, I want it (nigga, come on down)
Never had nothing but soul, never had nothing but hustle (nigga, come on down)
Wanna be loved, I wanna be famous, I wanna be rich (nigga, come on down)
I wanna be be anything, wanna be anybody that I'm not (nigga, come on down)

Anyone that I'm not
That I'm not
Anyone that I'm not
That I'm not

Most folks think gangstas like what they do
Think they enjoy killing their own brothers and sisters
By riddling our streets with bullet shells and narcotics
Most people think that shit cool, think again
Why you think they call it the trap playboy?
We just tryna escape by any means
But we mostly end up escaping through death

Village Slum

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Yeah, I been tryna drink less
But I feel like when I drink I'm at my best
Not a care in the world, no stress
Always give the world my everything and no less
I wake up seven days a week and get the job done
You know I'm always there for my wife and my son
And at the end of the day, I love to pour one
More like two, but occasionally three and it scares me
Not because I have a problem
I'm the type of person, if there's an issue, then I'ma solve 'em
It's more like seeing how this shit has destroyed life

Uh, I look at my mom, I look at my dad
And see how drugs and alcohol took away everything they had
And it makes me sad, I found the balance, but I feel bad
I didn't drink 'til I was twenty-seven and I did from then
And everytime I take a sip I'm scared that I'll become them
We went to Alcoholics Anonymous mostly twice a week
I was just a little boy that listen when people would speak
Prostitutes, preaches, substitute teachers
Cops and criminals, they all gave speeches
About this addiction and it filled me with conviction
Keep comin' back, boy, it works if you work it
And it did, growin' up, I was a AA kid
I never wanted to make the mistakes that they did
Yeah, sometimes when I sip, you know, I feel survivor's guilt
But I know that what I'm drinkin' could destroy all that I built
So I tread lightly, this shit leaves people dead nightly
Alcoholic bullets in my blood, so I might be
Drug addict, well it's in my genes, so I might be
But I don't use that shit to escape
I deal with my problems head on 'til this day
Addiction to substance, it was my fate, but I broke the cycle

Ah shit, ah
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Ayo, damn
Yo, can we roll the window down, please?
I can-, I can barely see, the f*ckin' weed smoke, yo
Logic, why are you scared of weed?
I ain't scared
Well, you obviously feel some type of way about it
No, I-, I don't know why it's gotta be a big f*ckin' deal, okay?
I just don't wanna do it
Man, just hit the blunt
No
Just hit the shit, man
Bro, I gotta be on stage in like f*ckin' forty minutes
I'm not tryna perform in the tenth dimension
Havin' panic attacks and shit on stage, man, f*ck all that
Bro, this weed ain't even that strong
You'll be fine in like thirty minutes
Lenny, don't hit him my shit
This from Cali', this that brain rape
What, what?
Yeah, that's what it's called
F*ck, no
What?
Ain't no-, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Ain't-, ain't no way in hell, I'm smokin' some shit called brain rape
Bro, what the f*ck is that?
Yo, Logic, just take a hit
Take a little baby hit
Man, why you guys always tryna peer pressure me, man?
It's not even like I'm-
Ayy, man
Come on, man, just-, just hit the f*ckin' weed, bro
Alright, alright, alright, goddamn, fine, f*ck, shit
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hit that shit, hit that shit

No lie (and you know I), so fly
Every day, yeah, you know I get down

Yeah, you know I get down
I get down, I get down

Ayo

Ayo, ayo, I'm just tryna lay low
I don't give a f*ck about what y'all talk about
And anythin' you wanna say though
'Cause I'ma get mine, I'ma do me
Have a good time, everybody gon' see
'Cause life's too short to f*ck with y'all, and I'm with all my homies
Livin' that life that you wish you was livin'
Ain't talkin' 'bout money, that shit is a given
Ain't talkin' 'bout money and none of that
None of it up, but I'm talkin' 'bout happiness
I'm talkin' 'bout people who know just how beautiful happy is
I'm here to hold you down, I'm here for you now
Don't let 'em think they know you now, say

I can't f*ckin' stand you anymore (ayo, ayo)
And I don't think you'll ever know
Ayo, ayo (ayo), ayo, ayo (ayo)
Ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo (ayo), ayo, ayo (ayo)
Ayo, ayo

Knockin' doors down, showin' parts around
I'ma come through and show my wood pine
Knockin'- knockin' doors down, showin' parts around
I'ma- I'ma come through and show my wood pine, I'ma- I'ma come-

Well, it's a beautiful day
To sit back and smoke on some hay, leanin' back with my kicks up
I'm in my zone and my home and I'm mindin' my own
Try not to get mixed up in them shenanigans
But you and your man again, no need for panickin'
But last time I almost ended up sniffin' some mannequins
On this side, it's darker than Anakin
Takin' the rides is long and exhaustin'
At the end though, what is it costin'?
Not just for me, but my family, an offspring
Got drive, like I'm Ryan Gosling, so I put my key in the ignition
Puttin' myself in a better position
And I no longer need your permission, listen

I can't f*ckin' stand you anymore (ayo, ayo)
And I don't think you'll ever know

Knockin' doors down, showin' parts around
I'ma come through and show my wood pine
Knockin'- knockin' doors down, showin' parts around
I'ma- I'ma come through and show my wood pine, I'ma- I'ma come-
Knockin' doors- knockin'- knockin' doors down, down
Knockin' doors, knock- knock- knock- knock- knockin' doors down
I'ma-I'ma come through- I'ma- I'ma come- down
I'ma come through- I'ma- I'ma come- down

Ayo, man, yo, seriously, yo
I just wanna thank y'all so much for comin' out tonight
Man, you have no idea, dawg, like
F*ckin' two years ago, it was 2009, you know what I'm sayin?
I was just startin' to get into this shit
And now here we are, two years later
We're f*ckin' rockin' out on stage for a packed crowd
Yo, I never in a million f*ckin' years would've thought
That I'd be playin' for a hundred and fifty people, man
Yo, I'm humbled, bro, I'm f*ckin' honored, yo
I'ma keep spreadin' the message of peace, love, and positivity
I promise, man, I love y'all, I love hip-hop
I'm so excited to see where this journey takes us
Yo, shoutout to all my f*ckin' homies, man
Big Lenbo, 6ix, my DJ BossPlayer, Castro
F*ckin' overhypin' and shit, hahaha
Ayy, f*ck you, nigga
Nah, you know I'm f*ckin' with you, bro
I just wanna shoutout every single person out there supportin', man
Yo, you have my word, like, I love y'all
I'm always gonna do this shit from my heart
I'ma do it for the fans
Like, this shit is a f*ckin' dream come true
Like, a hundred and fifty people here tonight
Who knows what we could be?
But I promise you, I give you my word, here and now
I won't never change

Lightyear

Ayo, my voice raspy as f*ck 'cause I'm thirty-one, hahaha
And I've been practicing my raps and shit
Ayo, I promise I won't never change, I'ma always stay the same
I'ma be me
I'll never change, man, I promise you, I swear

Yeah
I'll never change, I'll never make music for money
You'll never catch me at the VMAs acting funny
Never on the radio on some la-di-da shit
That's the day you know I forfeit
I'ma always be the man I am and never morph it
That's the day you'll know my shit is wack 'cause I forced it
Dropped a track and some energy drink endorsed it
I'ma always be the same person that's cursing on this track

I won't ever change, I promise, I ain't never going back
Yeah
Heh, yeah, you thought, motherf*cker
This is what it really is, youngin'

Ayy, why you think I went pop? So my family could eat (alright)
But now that the fridge is full, it's just a pen and this beat
What you would do if it was twenty mil' or live on the street?
I guarantee your ass is rapping on a radio beat
But it was deeper than that
I used that shit to spread a message that was deeper than rap
Hid the pills in the apple sauce, deep in the trap
Tried to save the world but found out I couldn't do that
But I know I can affect it like a butterfly
Even though I know I can't protect it, deep down wonder why
And that's the reason I went mainstream, if you wonder why
To spread a message of PLP, make it worldwide
And feed my family for generations
So while you hipster motherf*ckers is scared of radio stations
You played yourself, congratulations
Had a goal in my head and at twenty-nine, I hit it
Multi-million-dollar deals, Logic, yeah, we get it
So focused on the past, don't think you listen when I spit it
That kid back in the basement, he made it, he did it
And now my life is different so I rap 'bout what I know
From the basement to the mansion, there's maturity in the flow
F*ck rap, who gives a shit? I wanna see my son grow
With a fridge full of food, no wonder where the hunger went
Now I don't rap to prove myself, I pick up the pen to vent
But you people stuck in the past, probably take that as content
When your ass should just be happy I'm still giving you content
And to the fans that ain't need me to spell all this shit out
Thank you for riding with me beyond a reasonable doubt
Logic out (okay)

This feels good (Logic back)
Here we go

I've been envisioning something different, not insufficient, f*ck all the bitchin', I'm on a mission
Like timing, shit is iconic, memories back in the day of the Chronic
In my lungs and in my ears, I wrote this shit with blood and tears
Thought about doing it over the years, 85 finally here
Doing this shit for the art, I'ma give 'em my heart like a high-speed collision
And I give 'em my sight as they all want vision, I'm bleeding, no, wait, I'm bleeding
I feel like rap is retreating while my hairline is receding
Which is literally the definition of what I've become
That's an oldhead, wait a minute, go 'head, I'ma go off
2019 I got wrote off, but I'm bringing it back into focus
I'm God-level, here to locust, I'm so pissed like a P.O.
Rollie gold like C3PO, and I'm busting off like R2
That's COD-level, I'm all through, now f*ck you

Our boys have certainly been through a lot today
But they did it, they made it to the show
And to the next chapter of the rest of their lives
Through all the mayhem and adversity
Through all the negativity and hardship
They did it
And here they stand after the show
Radiating a message of peace, love, and positivty
The original RattPack members rejoice
Though deep down, Logic is unsure of something
Not himself or his craft
But something that's been rising to the surface
Something that would take up more space than it should in his mind
Through the next decade

Yo, that shit was crazy
For real bro, we're really on to something
Yo, what's up? Y'all tryna grab a bite to eat or something
Mm, I can't
That chick I was wrapping up and the bar finna give me a ride
If you know what I mean
Hahaha, you're f*cking wild (ah, f*ck)
Hell yeah, peace
Alright man, alright dawg, I'll see you
I'ma head out too, but I'll see you next weekend at Everlasting Light
Bet, alright man, I'll see you later
Well, I'ma catch a ride with OB I guess, man, I got finals tomorrow
6ix, you're lit as f*ck, there's no way you're even gonna wake up
Bro, I'm Indian, we pass exams in our sleep, hahaha
Aight man, alright peace, dawg
Aight man, I'll catch you
And then there were two
Haha, here, let me unlock it
You really should be proud man
Yeah?
Yo bro, shit is happening
You getting shit posted on 2DopeBoyz and this song is sick
Doing some real numbers on DatPiff
Look, shit, just a year ago you were homeless
You been sleeping on my couch for like only a year
And now look what's going on
Yeah, yeah, I guess
What's wrong?
Nah, I-, I'm good-
I don't know man, I'm just, I'm excited and I'm terrified
Of what?
I love rap, you know, it's definitely a foot in the door
But I wanna do other shit too, you know
I don't wanna be on stage at f*cking fifty years old
Rapping like the vein on my forehead is gonna explode
With the f*cking "Get down with the, hit you with the"
F*cking f*ck no, man, like
Dude, I wanna sing, I wanna play guitar, I don't wanna just play it safe
I, I'm just a little scared of what people, like
If I make it in rap, what if people expect that of me?
What if that's the image, you know, of
What Logic is or what he isn't? I don't know, I just wanna be able to-
I just wanna be able to do whatever I want
Man, just keep doing what you're doing
Keep spreading that positive message, being positive
The fans are gonna love you, man
And they're gonna love you for putting your heart and soul into this music and making honest music
As long as you keep spreading that positive message, the fans are gonna be with you
It's 2011, who knows where you'll be in ten years?

And now I'm here
Lightyears from where I was before
Mad at the world, ready to leave
I thought I had to be a certain way
I thought I had to act a certain way
I never belonged to begin with
So this is goodbye, this is farewell
To the life I know so well
I'm breaking the chains, I'm ready for change
I've been playing the same old game over and over again
So I stepped away and learned a few things
I thought I hated you 'cause I spoke on things
That you never related to, so here I found myself
It only took a lightyear to get past the bullshit
And now I'm right here, unapologetically me
And that's the idea, I wanna do it for free
And never out of fear
I don't wanna try and relive the good years
I don't wanna convince you I'm from the hood, yeah
I don't wanna talk about how good I rap, yeah
I don't wanna perpetuate none of that, yeah, it's all a trap, yeah
It took a lightyear
It took a lightyear
It took a lightyear
To find myself again
