Logic - Ultra 85 Album Lyrics

Wow, I can't believe this motherf*cker Logic's making me do this right now
So I came over, we were supposed to watch 500 Days of Summer
Um, I brought some Macallan 18
I brought some Jordan SBs
And 6ix turns over and says, "Hey, I think I got a beat for Ultra 85"
He plays it, Logic goes crazy, and next thing you know, history's made
I'm Paul Rodriguez and I approve this message
Ayo, this that Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack-type beat
Welcome to Ultra 85
Woo

What's up? What's happenin'? Bitch, we live
Probably thought you'd never see the day of Ultra 85
It's been a minute, but, baby, yeah, now we in it
What's that? The past, the present, the future, and, yes, the beyond
I know you thought it was over, but you know it, now it's on
I was scared for years to try to do this album
How you follow up a classic? What's the outcome?
Failure and tragedy, now everybody's mad at me
'Cause I ain't make a carbon copy of my last shit
F*ck the past, we past it
Boy snappin' like he elastic, listen
Feel the freedom, you can take 'em out the field and lead 'em
But you can't make 'em drink, bitch, I'm being me, the f*ck you think this is?
I am, I mean, I, I'm is everything that they said I wasn't
We cookin' but ain't no oven, they say they hate me, I love 'em
Come now boys, sound the alarm, we brothers in arms, f*ck that beef shit
Y'all riding the wave, f*ck that reef shit
F*ck all the shit they be talking about, we practice what we preach
We walking it out, no ain't no doubt
No, no, I'm on the grind like Rodriguez according to what he says
This shit don't happen overnight, they said Logic wouldn't be nothing
What an embarrassing oversight, yeah sure, you right
I'm keeping it tight like in that pocket
Like that '95 Roots Datskat Skibidi-hoop-bop-bop-bop-da-bop, stay with the gat
So don't test me, better arrest me, used to want hip-hop to love me
'Cause when I was a child both of my parents would neglect me
I talk about it in therapy often
How in this game you gotta have thick skin, she said let it soften
Be yourself unapologetically
'Cause in this world that there right there don't happen often
I'm smoking 'til I'm coughing, self-medicate to the coffin
'Cause in the end we all six feet
So I'ma be catching wreck to the day I die on these 6ix beats
You emcees better retreat
Cut off my legs below my knees and still can never defeat
Me, black and white like 88 pianos
Lord of the Rings, my right hand look like Thanos
Hairline like Fantano's rockin' a yellow flannel
Y'all can't see me like Metal Gear Solid with the camo
This the freest I've ever been, critics don't let him in
I graduated from the bullshit, pass me the letterman
Me and my entire team focus on being better men
Logic in his thirties but he rappin' like he in his Prime
Goddamn, what a veteran, this is braggadocia at it's finest
We been through a lot of shit but deal with it then put it behind us
The rhyme is the illest, let's take a look at the skillest
Yeah, I'm the motherf*ckin' greatest, I'm confident, never cocky
Don't talk to me 'til you made it
Debate it all you want but we know this shit is off the hook
Slidin' on this bitch like Paul with the Nolly, flip the crook
Motherf*ckers don't know nothin' bout the hustle, bitch, I wrote the book
I'm a prodigy, I leave 'em shook ones that know me know how much it took
Back rank checkmate with the rook, I feel like Magnus
Logic on this beat is murder, bitch, I'm toe taggin' this
Ultra 85, this the catalyst, that real rap shit
Lo-fi, boom bap on that trap tip, now watch the hat hit
That SV and 96 at the shelter, goin' batshit, no Bruce Wayne
Oh, yeah, you know this rap game produced pain like I did Fahim's album
I made so much f*ckin' money, should call this the green album
They used to be laughin' at him, now they outback after the show rappin' at 'em
You lazy motherf*ckers ain't doin' shit, up and at 'em
Come on, man, get after it, get at it, don't none of y'all want this static
Why you actin' dramatic? This ain't no Gangsta Grillz
I know you up in your feels
'Cause all the legends in the game respect me, I keep it real
I remember tellin' Funk Flex, "People call me a tryhard"
He said, "You know why, god? 'Cause they tried and couldn't do it"
So that's what is it? Yeah
And every time they see you winnin' they have to relive it
Oh yeah, now come now, boy, forget it, we with it
I'm goin' crazy committed, that shit they talkin' omitted
We takin' it back for these hip-hop heads like fitteds
Said it, I did it, yes I said it and did it
If you hatin' on Logic then we all know you ain't with it
I provided various people with jobs like I was Steve
Kill the beat then let them grieve, I kill the beat then let them grieve
Tell me the reason I'm ripping it up in a microphone 'til I can't breathe
This is deeper than the things you can achieve
This is deeper than the chain around your neck
This right here 'bout catching rep
And murdering it every single time you put me in your deck
This that TASCAM-four-track straight-to-cassette
We independent now, putting major labels in debt
Bitch, I've been wet, no PCP, you know we be free
F*ck the algorithm right now, I need that reparation
They call Logic the voice of a generation
Sipping scotch, face in a blunt
Sometimes I talk about the real shit, other times I stunt
Sometimes depression takes a hold and rips away everything that I want
We finally eatin' but I'm still hungry
I know you feel it, you hear it, the passion
Swoopin' like an assassin, gats blastin' like it's regular fashion
I'm driven, you better fasten your belt, spit heat 'til your face melt
I'm one-of-one, these other rappers were made on conveyor belts
Watch yourself, Logic wildin', man, I'm not myself
This for Nas, this for RZA, this for Jay, this for Mos, this for Thought
This right here for Kanye even when he be wildin' out
Man, I listened to y'all when I was broke and I ain't had shit
Y'all were there for me even more than my dad, shit
I can say the same for Drizzy Drake, Kenny and Cole
'Cause we a family, this hip-hop tree is all I know
And you listen and are invited to help it grow
I can't believe it, used to wish I could achieve it
Never thought the day would come that I would see it
Not the money, not the fame, not the cameras
Not the chains, but the happiness
It makes me sad that so many in the game will never truly know what happy is
I used to think it was the streams
Used to think it was the plaques, used to think it was awards
But none of that there facts

You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is, homie (this right here)
You know what it is-

Logic be wildin', T-Man right there he gon' style and you know I'm going bezerk
Everybody want it all but don't wanna put in the work
You want that? My heat work
You want that? It's teamwork
You got that? The dream work, no Pixar
Worth a hundred million when it's all said and done
Yeah, the basement was the kickstart
It kicked us to the stars and beyond
I do this for my wife, little Bobby and Leon, my son-to-be
We took him to outer space then we took him to the Wild West
I created this universe because I was depressed
Feel like I did not have a space to call my own
F*ck a tastemaker, gatekeeper, hip-hop's my only home
Blacklisted by some, top ten listed by others
This that summertime, Kool & The Gang, me and my brothers
Taking it back like primitive, tell me now who gon' let 'em live?
Shit, like Hov said, can I live?

Ayy, check it, this that Lupe in '06
This that Lupe last week, this that timeless flow
You better listen when I speak, I'm at the podium snatching mics
Like I kidnapped Jackson, lights, camera, action, blunts we pass 'em
See if you ain't get the message now, this whole song is about passion
This is everything I got, it's everything I have to give
If that ain't enough for y'all, man, f*ck you, I'm happy
My dick works, you name it, I got it
I don't say that shit to brag, I say that shit to let 'em know
Kid on welfare and food stamps really achieved the goal
I made thirty million dollars six years ago
This ain't about the money and the fame
It's about the f*cking flow
The love, the music, the people, the drums
The happy, the sad, the highs and the lows
Let me repeat this so all of y'all out there listening know
The flow, the love, the music, the people
The drums, the happy, the sad, the highs, the lows
The shit that most of these people do not know
I'm doing this shit 'cause I love it and I never won't
I make music for those who love it and not the ones who don't

85, Ultra 85
Ultra 85, Ultra 85
Ultra 85, Ultra 85
Ultra 85, Ultra 85
Ultra 85, Ultra 85

Welcome to the motherf*ckin' future, ah, yeah
You motherf*ckers better buckle up, man
We going to outer space with this one, y'all

Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh-uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, uh
Come on, come on, come on, come on

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

Now

We're tracking you now, uh
Airship there, we got the Aquarius III and, uh, yeah, we got ya
We're all clear here, Thomas
Before we had an issue with one of the doors earlier
But maintenance came on down and fixed that up
Alright, Tom, that's everything on my end here
You're clear for departure
I'll tell you what's up
I'm getting real sick and tired of this synthetic gravity
So I hooked, oh, my bad

So, you're my new partner, huh?
Yes, sir, the name's William Kai
First officer and man of infantry and I take it you're this vessel's new captain
Yup, that's me, Quentin Thomas, pleasure to meet you
Hey, Roslyn, please tell Mission Control docking sequence was successful
And the Aquarius III is now commencing separation (of course)
Roslyn? Did they update the fleet's AI program again?
I know, right? Feels like as soon as you get to know them, they're on to the next
Initiating thrusters for departure
Munitions check
Quantum cannons engaged
Mission 1019 go for departure
Star date 2110
Mission Control has given access granted
Emergency systems green and fuel is one hundred percent
Well, kid, you ready to do this?
Well, if I can be honest, sir, this is my first time leaving Babel
No shit? Well, don't worry, I brought music

Now, now, yeah, yeah (woo)
Let's f*cking go (now, now)
Come on (ah, ah)
Yeah
Y-y-y-y-y-yeah, yeah, ayo, ayo (now)

Uh, open up the rhyme book and read the composition
I can truly give a f*ck about the competition
I'm in another atmosphere, I'm on another mission
Yeah, you know that boy Logic put pen to page like a petition
You a bitch, always switching up your whole position
I can see it in your face like an esthetician
Food for thought, this the highest caliber nutrition
Everything come out my mouth, that's my own cognition (now)
I got out the hood, then got money in addition
I remember when that boy ain't had no pot to piss in
They wouldn't let me in, so I never asked permission
Tour is like a war, I'm getting minimum five mill' per mission (oh)
Uh, hit the ignition and peep the emission
Self-medicate like a clinician, more than a musician
My flow rare like a first edition
Report for dismission, everything I ever thought of, it came to fruition
King of the transition
We never switchin', peep the acquisition, no omission
Your lyrics drier than the prohibition
Prepare for collision
I'm higher than the satellite that's on an orbiting mission

I remember we didn't have any permission (no permission)
Never forget we on a motherf*ckin' mission (we on a mission)
I remember that they didn't even wanna listen (they ain't listen)
Now we cookin', we ain't even in the f*cking kitchen (what we cookin'?)
I remember we didn't have any permission (no permission)
Never forget we on a motherf*ckin' mission (we on a mission)
I remember that they didn't even wanna listen (they ain't listen)
Now we cookin', we ain't even in the f*cking kitchen (what we cookin'?)

Lemons on the chain with the V-cuts (yeah)
Lemons on the chain with the V-cuts (now)
Lemonade and shade with my feet up (what?)
Lemonade and shade with my feet-
Lemon pepper wings and a freeze (what?)
Lemon pepper wings and a freeze- (yeah)
Lemons in their face, watch 'em freeze up
Lemons in their face-

(Gucci)

Aight, something I can relate to
Is being called "colored," "mullato," "zebra," "Lite-Brite"
You niggas questioning if I can even say "Nigga"
DJ Drama (Gangsta-)

Okay, I've been there, I've done that
This rap shit had to get round from that
My therapy helping the boy unpack
Yeah, the reason I left and don't wanna come back
Made a hundred million and was still depressed
You know with or without it, we still stressed
You know with or without it, we still blessed
Stealth mode like Ellie in Hillcrest
Yeah, everybody gonna die, gonna go, I know
That's why I flow like a river, my liver can't take no more
Ain't no more f*cks to give I gotta live my life
Regardless if you think I'm living it right
I was born in the dark now I live in the light
Bitch, I'm ready to fight like I'm Tyson
This shit is enticin', them diamonds on my neck be icin' (goddamn)
Bitch, I inspired a generation
People that feel like they had nowhere they could belong, stuck in the simulation
Bitch, I am the king of innovation
But everybody got what they got from something else
I'm something else, I'm on the floor, you on the shelf
I'm in the ring I got the belt, the hands been dealt
I am the king, this shit beyond the bling
And all the things that I thought this rap would bring
Back in the day in the trap, I was gripping the gat
As a matter of fact, I was dealin' with hella anxiety
And now today, well, I still got anxiety (Gangsta Grizillz)
It's f*cking with my sobriety and the outlook that I have on society
It could be cripplin', even if your bank account steady triplin'
Because the money and fame, success and the game
Has nothing to do with the life of happiness you plan to attain
Gripping this grain
Everybody gonna die, gonna go, yes, I know that's for sure
Everybody wanna act, they wanna act like I motherf*cking fell off
'Cause I did everything but get the Grammy
And I'd rather raise a family, rather be home and off of my phone
And all these other rappers soundin' like clones, leave me alone
You think you got it, better get to praying
Who you know go toe-to-toe with Em?
"Homicide," might have to go again
Student of the game, I studied him
JAY-Z, Nasir, and Rakim
Bitch, I got a million plaques, a million tracks, a million racks
A million facts to let 'em all know
That I'm ready to go, fade away, then fade to black for sure
All this shit you rapping wack for sure
Murder like Amity, peep the Calamity Ganon
I stay with the cannon, they talking that shit in the Discord
You know I'ma ban 'em, pull up in the Maybach and never the Phantom
Recorded Incredible True Story in a two-story
Could barely afford the rent, that's a true story
So don't pass it, decade later, it's a classic
What can I say? I guess I won't fade away

All day, all day, every day, every day
We was on that block until we made a way (we made a way)
Day to day, man, that's the only way
They gon' know my name until it fade away (Gangsta Grizillz)
Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade a- ('way, 'way, 'way, 'way)
Uh, fade away
Uh, they gon' know my name until it fade away

They say, "Damn"
"DJ Drama don't look like what he sound like"
Well, what you niggas expect?
Yeah, this light-skin nigga's the greatest to ever talk that talk (Ultra 85)
Logic

Damn, man, that was a vibe, you really know your shit
Hey, what can I say? I got good taste
I have every album that ever existed before the Fall on my divider
Ha, you sound like me with film
Cool, I'm a sci-fi junkie myself
Really?
What? Not a fan?
Well, seeing as we live in a giant space station
Hovering over our destroyed home planet of Earth
I gotta say, I've seen just about all the space I wanna see
I don't know, man, I guess it gives me hope
What you mean?
You know, that there's more out there
Flourishing planets with life and technology and adventure
I'm a little nervous, honestly
It's my first time away from home
This little-ass ship, thinking it's just us out here in space?
It's kind of freaking me out
What am I? Chopped liver?
No, Roslyn, that's not what I meant
Kai, it's a routine sweep, nothing to worry about
Man, how many times have you done this, Captain?
Me?
Well, let's see, ah, that would be my first mission outside Babel
What the hell? What? Oh, hell nah
You telling me you never flown into outer space before?
Calm down officer, I've literally been training for years on the simulation deck
Man, I knew your ass looked too young to be a captain
Bro, I'm forty-seven
I'm thirty-eight, that don't mean shit
Look, Kai, it's routine, okay? We're fine
Huh, oh yeah, nah, I know, for sure
Kai's current heart rate is one twenty-eight beats per minute
Bitch, don't put my personal information out there like that
Anxiety is normal, dude, I've had my fair share
That's the last thing I want to hear the captain say
Dude, talking about it is what helps
And, you know, relieves the pressure
But enough, we're fine, let's take your mind off it
Who's your favorite director of all time?

I can't let you hold me back, oh no
I can't let you hold me back no more
I can't let you hold me back, oh no
I can't let you hold me back no more

Take a minute and think about what you're doing
And why you're doing it, why you pursuing it, is you really happy?
I been all around the world and back again
I rap it in a microphone and let 'em know that if you're coming at me
I'ma never give up, give a damn if I gotta live up
To every single one of your expectations
I remember the moment of my life
The moment of eyesight, all up in the spotlight, uh (uh)
People think we gotta be the perception, what you need is an intervention
Everything that you doin' better be with intention
I hope every single one of you payin' attention, uh (uh, all my life)

I used to move a certain way because I was afraid
That I would not be loved the way that I deserve to be
Until the day the fear deserted me, deserve to be free
And do whatever the f*ck I wanna do when I wanna do it
When it come to the world and creativity (all my life)

I can't let you hold me back, oh no (all my life)
I can't let you hold me back no more
I can't let you hold me back, oh no
I can't let you hold me back no more (now)
(Yeah)

I'm just tryna do my best, baby
Ain't no wonder why I'm so stressed lately
Life we livin' hard
This life we livin' hard
I don't know why I always lie to myself
And callin' anybody for you
Me and my homies runnin' 'round, doin' shit we weren't s'posed to do
Gettin' high all night, then we turn on the local news
'Nother brother gunned down, don't know what we supposed to do
Tryna make it out
.45 in the waistband, out of place, man
I'm just tryna live my life and do it right
I know you heard me
I know they all heard me now

Get out this place
Been dreaming of that finest space
Paradise
Paradise
Help me get out this place (we gotta get up, get up, get up, get out of here)
Been dreaming of that finest space
Paradise (we gotta get up, get up, get up, get out of here)
Ooh, paradise
We gotta get up, get up, get up, get out of here, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gotta get up, get up, get up, get out of here, yeah, ooh

Hell nah, are you telling me you actually put Nolan over Tarantino?
Yes
You are absolutely full of shit if you believe that
Look, I'm not sayin' I think he's better, alright?
All this shit is subjective
It's like asking someone who loves rap to have an open ear about heavy metal
Just 'cause you don't like something don't mean it ain't good
We're all entitled to our opinions, Kai
You just don't gotta be a dick about it
I'm not bein' a dick about it
I'm just sayin' there's no way in hell Nolan is a better director than Tarantino
Potato, potato, man
Inception alone is one of the craziest stories ever in cinema
Two words, Pulp Fiction
Of course, it's a classic
I'm just sayin', can't we agree to disagree?
If humanity could've done that
We wouldn't be floating through The Nebula looking for a habitable planet

Okay
Take one-thirteen
I just wanna say, yeah, this is crazy
Right, right
Okay, this is, uh, starting on line one with Thomas
On 5th of October, here we go

Heavy is the neck that wears the chain
Grippin' the grain, tryna maintain
Feelin' this weed through the blood to my brain
Writin' these lyrics in the back of the train
Tryna sustain through the pain
Been smokin' and drinkin' a little more than I should
And I would do better, but I'm human
Eyes on me like I'm Truman
Escape through the page, contemplatin' my age
Poetic justice for those who trust us
I ain't tryna beat 'em, no, we just us, watch the gat bust
We get bread, you get crust
Love is a must, world we live in is f*cked up
Switch the position on another mission, now peep the diction
It's far from fiction, far from accessible
Want beef? End up a vegetable
A hundred and fifty thousand people is at the festival
Black proud and louder than decibels
Bullshit, no, I'm not susceptible, it's not acceptable
The bitch in me is undetectable, I'm too respectable
Conceptual, my albums be, in the studio 'til 'round about three
Never paid a fee, you f*ckin with me? Get it for free
Now let it breathe, murderin' it with ease
Peep the prestige, I spit degrees, your shit freeze
If I had a penny for my thoughts, then I'd be Elon Musk
Rappin' from dawn 'til dusk, you know in Dilla we trust
Hits never went to my head, I was never concussed
Givin' no f*cks, bumpin' Busta Genesis
Waitin' for the first of the month and all of its benefits
Life been a bitch, chillin' with Mad Eleven, tryna get richer
Rather get richer, f*ck the paper talkin', bigger picture
Comin' to get ya, now let me hit ya with that throwback
The illest memories, PS3 when grenades was gettin' thrown back
Modern Warfare 2 at the favela
Was my escape when I wasn't scrubbin' floors like Cinderella
No glass slipper, pass me the mic, I go Jack The Ripper
I'm sicker than COVID-20, f*ck all the money
I'm doin' it how I've been doin', ain't nobody takin' it from me
Grew up five hundred and fifteen miles from Seven Mile
But this beat got me feelin' slummy, dummy, ayy, listen
I never passed tenth grade, but I still get the rent paid
You fake, I be real like Cypress Hill
Fake motherf*ckers, I can see through you
My game strong, y'all weak like five plus two
Bust the door, then rush through
Gettin' this bread 'cause the people f*ck with it
Your whole shit's stale, wouldn't feed ducks with it
I make firm decisions like a legislator
My briefcase Italian leather, my loafers is alligator
My bank account is greater, but none of them numbers define me
F*ck rap, put it behind me, don't try me, y'all too grimy
Smokin' cigs after dark, we call that Nick at Nite
Spark the blunt, watch the Bic ignite, f*ck your life
Think you could body me, bitch? You couldn't even limb me
Smokin' dope like a chimney, I been me

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck (yo, listen up, yeah)
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck rap (yo, listen up, uh)
Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Dilla we trust (listen up)
Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Di-, Dilla we trust (yeah)

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? (Yeah)
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? (Ayo, yo, ayo, ayo)

Jump on the Aquarius III, it's just Quentin Will and me
We all headed to paradise, boy, I'm finna set you free
Feel like Vash the Stampede
Grippin' sixty billion double dollars, I'm far from a scholar
But they still ask me to speak to the students in Harvard
"Oh, yeah, what you tell 'em?" Told 'em, "F*ck the monotony"
Game a life of Monopoly
Yes, I'm livin' it properly
Yes, I got chains 'round my neck, but first I invested in property
(Lyrics for grown folk) lyrics for grown folk
Be a good mama, be a good daddy, be a good person
I love the man I've become, don't wanna see the hood version
I came from nothing, now I'm splurgin' on Rodeo
My wife is whiter than yayo
But she not woke, she was never sleep
Boy on the creep like Thom Yorke, burgundy
At Wally's with Egon, we sniffin' the cork
Grew up with nothing, we ain't even had child support
Sippin' a fifth like I just plead it
These f*ckers pathetic and copacetic
Never thought I'd grow up to be a f*ckin' rap star
Little Bobby at Mastro's eatin' caviar, true story
Logic known for stayin' positive like dads on Maury
'Least I think I'm is, I know I'm is, I'm off the grid

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

Uh, think I'm on an interstellar mission once again
A 5'10" assassin, lightin' 'em up like Edison
Nowadays rap is a, rap is a hot commodity
Follow me on this interdimensional odyssey
Bumpin' Bowie, Oddity
A prodigy, uh, I gotta be
Uh, what's up? I'm the fifth element, the ultimate being
Freein' your mind, f*ck the rhyme
What I'm tryna say is clear as day
I came to body the track like Connor
Then whippin' the bike with a baddie on the back (goddamn)
Let me get it like that, once I write that, I recite that
I be like that, I'ma need that back, don't need no stack
Yeah, that's a fact
R-a-double T-P-A-C-K, yeah, that's the pack
We bringin' it back like Nazareth, they mad at this
The catalyst, give a f*ck what your status is, Avada Kedavra
The saddest part is you'll never decipher this poetic puzzle
A muzzle needed like Hannibal Lecter
Far from a lecture, here to protect ya if you need it
Pick up the pen and then bleed it
Pick up the mic and then read it
We do the show then repeat it
For the people that need it
The message, they greet it with open arms
Callin' all my brothers in arms
Play this song when you need it, let it ring like an alarm
What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

Ooh, man, that should be it
You calibrating the new ATM series?
Yeah, man, these new robots could take out a whole army
The 300 series is no joke
Nice, 301, first in the batch
Why don't we turn him on?
Captain the robot shouldn't be tamper-
Taken out of the wrapper, yeah, I know, but
I'd like to make sure I'm acquainted with the entire crew
You sure about this?
F*ck yeah, turn him on
Alright, captain
Initiating artificial neural pathway
So these things really have their own brain and personality?
Uh, hmm, it's kinda like a puppy, they mirror their master
Don't make us sound like slaves Kai
Bitch, you don't know the first thing about slavery
Actually, I know every reported detail in human history
Whatever, girl, whatever
Oh, here he comes
Hello, my name is ATM, Artificial Tech Machina, Cybernetic relations
Nice, ATM, I'm Captain-
Captain Quentin Thomas, forty-seven years old, top of his class graduation
Proficient in terminal execution via spacecraft and-
What the f*ck? He know all that just by looking-
William Kai, thirty-eight years old, highest honor graduation
Iq 179, 98.4 aim consistency
Whoa, even I don't have these specs
Roslyn, computing system version 17.7, out of date
Thalia conversion currently in development
How could you know this already?
Because I am updated by the millisecond from Babel's core mainframe
Whoa, this guy's crazy
Sir
What do you know about media?
Sir, I do not understand
You know? Film, music, art
Before the fall of man
Forbidden scripture
Hold up a second, man
We've got to do something about this
What are you doing?
Uploading my drive
It basically has all the media man has ever created
Whoa, wait
Don't you think that might-
It's done
Okay, ATM, what do you know about anime?
Well, captain

'Cause they can't
Take it from you
They never understood what you've been through
What's life without pushing?
They can't believe what you put yourself through
And I love you for it

In a hotel room, contemplating my death
I been on tour so long, feel like ain't nothing left
It's in these moments that I find freedom
In the midst of a bad day, good thoughts, I greet 'em
When I'm riddled with anxiety, it's hard to find sobriety
I'm being honest now, entirely
Physically and mentally drained
But no matter how life move, do my best to maintain
I could focus on the positive or bitch and complain
Gripping this fame, feeling like I'm lost in the game
It's hard to see the bigger picture when you're feeling restrained
'Cause everything you dreamed to attain can't fit in the frame
Luckily, your mind's a gallery
Full of artistic expression that could fill up the galaxy
It's okay to not be okay
Just don't let that present mood dictate the rest of your day
Children grow up, go to work then forget how to play
A lot of people that I meet tell me about they dreams
And how they wish they could attain 'em even though it seems
Like it's not a probability
Be nicer to yourself, show humility
While you compare yourself to others on a screen
You could put that phone down, look around, and feel serene
But this thing in our pockets are part of our daily routine
Distraction from taking action
Full of synthetic satisfaction by dopamine hits
From swipe, likes, and captions
Comparison is destroying your passion
Used to be full of dreams, now you barely have a ration
Yo, listen
If you ain't rich doing what you love then what's the point?
And it's because of this mentality that you can't pass a certain point
Think of the millions of dreamers that did what they did then they died
Some were celebrated, others crucified
I'm not saying quit your nine to five
That's unrealistic in this world that we live in and you must survive
But do not deprive the heart on your sleeve from the blood underneath
Sharpen your sword daily, don't just keep it in the sheath
Wake up every day as if you could relive it
Then whenever you feel negativity, come and just pivot
Appreciate the good and not the bad, be yourself and not the fad
It's okay to wake up sad
But it's a lot of people that woke up today in body bags
332,648 to be exact
And you mad that you ain't get that big promotion? F*ck that
Man, it's okay to be upset, but don't let it affect your life
'Cause 13,860 just lost they life in an hour
231 in a minute, man, that's three a second, yo
And your heart still beats as you listen
So take it day by day and make the right decision
Add something to this world, don't multiply division
Focusing on the past is not the present vision
Worrying about the future is just a head-on collision
Live in the now if you can
I find it hard myself, but I'm just tryna lend a hand
I said, I find it hard myself, but I'm just tryna lend a hand

'Cause they can't
Take it from you
They never understood what you've been through
What's life without pushing?
They can't believe what you put yourself through
And I love you for it
And I love you for it

What?

Here we are, money on my mind (now)
Here we are, place most never find (now)
Here we are, I'm not coming down (now)
Here we are, lifetime from the ground (now)
Here we are, money on my mind
How much do it cost to keep it real with ya?
Here we are, place most never find
How much do it cost to be a real nigga?
Here we are, I'm not coming down
Open your eyes and see the real picture
Here we are, a lifetime from the ground
How much do it cost to keep it real?

It's going down like that Maybach
I'm living it up like I never could back in the days way back
Write it record it, let the people absorb it
I'm morbid and want more of it on the the 101 flooring it
The definition of a schmirical rapper
It's been a decade it's a miracle I'm still a rapper (now)
Yeah, you the furthest from innovative
No wonder the people hate it
In the back of the Mercedes getting faded
When it comes to the flow you know I confiscate it then made it better
I pull strings like the guitarist in Greta Van Fleet
My camp meet at the pinnacle like Everest, like Mike Posner
Far from a poser, my flows are crazy I thought I told ya
Better hold ya money tight 'fore I snatch that shit
Roll it light it up and then pass that shit
People got problems but use substances to mask that shit
We past that shit, you better seek therapy human
What the f*ck is we doing? Killing one another for nothing
Man most of these people is bluffing
Acting like they got the world in they hand but really got nothing
Why you think they Twitter fingers be aching?
'Cause they forsaken what it means to be a person
And worsen their mental daily by involving themselves in extracurricular activities
I am the blackest white boy that you've ever seen, nigga, please
It's apparent my skin is transparent
Only color I ever really gave a f*ck about was green
Only people I f*ck with is my family, friends and my team
Twenty albums in under a decade, bitch, I'm a machine
Talking 'bout you don't like Logic, bitch, what the f*ck do you mean?
Why you listening to me then? Why you watching on your screen?
'Cause I'm all you have in the world at this moment
And the fact that I'm winning and you ain't winning hurts, don't it?
You see, I know you're not a hater, not really, not deep down
You just got a lot going on that you keep deep underground
Maybe you was molested, even beaten as a child
And when you see other people this happy it drives you wild
How did I know this? How do I know this?
'Cause I myself was beaten and molested
God drug me through the fire every day I was tested
'Cause really when you look at me what you see is a mirror
That reflects who you wish you really was but even clearer
And makes you uncomfortable that I'm comfortable with who I am
That's that reason that you hate and the reason that you stan
The reason that you obsess, you're my biggest fan
So my advice is seek therapy and find clarity
I know you hate me but I love you with sincerity

Here we are, money on my mind
How much do it cost to keep it real with you?
Here we are, a place most never find
How much do it cost to be a real nigga?
Here we are, I'm not coming down
Open ya eyes and see the real picture
Here we are, a lifetime from the ground
How much do it cost to keep it real?
Here we are, money on my mind
How much do it cost to keep it real with you?
Here we are, a place most never find
How much do it cost to be a real nigga?
Here we are, I'm not coming down
Open ya eyes and see the real picture
Here we are, a lifetime from the ground
How much do it cost to keep it real?

Thank God for synthetic gravity and ribeye that never came from a cow
I still don't understand how we grow meat without livestock
The marvels of AI, my friend
But wasn't it also because of AI
That every country in the entire world deployed nukes
As an auto defense against Russia's initial attack on the New Americas?
Mmh, I mean, but the steak though
Uh, so good

Yeah, ayy

Day one, day one, day one
This for my day ones, f*ck about a fake one
Smokin' that one to one 'til it's all done
And Post give me that good shit
In Atlanta, wish a motherf*cker would, shit
Uh, hotter than Teflon, sippin' liquor with Efron
Sippin' liquor with Zac in the back of the green room
Yeah, that's me and my team room, ayy
Me and Khalifa done hit like a million cities, got a million bitties
Wishin' they could get in but they can't
Soon as they see me, they faint
Feel like Mick Jagger in '76, huh, got 'em all on my dick
Bobby Boy bringin' that kick like Kung Fu Kenny, not many can f*ck with me
A lot of you f*ck with me, and I'm grateful (ayy) they stuck with me, like yeah

One to the one, come get it done, know I never run
Motherf*cker finna run and get the gun
When they hear that boy spittin', they shittin' themselves
Like, "Oh my God, I need a witness for what I just witnessed, I think I need witness protection"
No, I can't f*ck with injections
Yeah, that's just me and my section
Feel like someone done gave me an injection
Forty-four, four-four, forty-four, four
I'm comin' to kill this, I'm bringin' the illest
Why you think they feel us? I know
Give a f*ck 'bout your feelings, I know
Make a killin' and willin' I know
I get bills like I'm William, I know
Bitch, I get that money when I flow on a need-to-know basis
All you niggas is basic
Watchin' every single move I make like you just got that LASIK, but you all on that fake shit
One time comin' for the boy like, "Woo"
Comin' for the boy like, "eee"
Everybody want a little bit of the way that I do it, they do it, but not like me
Bitch, I got the gang with me, watch 'em bang with me, watch 'em bang with me like, "Ayy"
No, it ain't the same with me since I changed, f*ckin' with the fame got me like, "Ayy"
Everybody want a little bit of the boy, but nowadays, they just can't f*ck with me
I could give a motherf*ck about the rap game, the game, the game, now I'm finally free
Tell me who f*ckin' with me?
6ix on the beat is like god on the beat
Pardon my ego, there he go thinkin' he god on the beat
Y'all know I'm rhymin' elite, my rhymin' don't never deplete
F*ck are they rhymin' about? I'ma rap 'til I can't even spea-

Give me a moment to think
Give me a moment to blink
Give me a moment to get it all together
Livin' in a brand new world with a brand new way that the people think
And I can't get it done no I can't get numb
Feel like Rudi on the run from the Destrehan
Don't test me, man
I'm blessed to have a fam
But still a man with problems
And I can't solve 'em
Some days it feels like I'm not evolvin'
More like all of 'em, f*ck that
I'ma take 'em to another plane of existence
Off in the distance, bumpin' Jay Dee and Nujabes
And nothin else I make this shit for the homies and myself
Why you think I made Paradise? I'm there at night
Livin' in the world, my pen write
Now gimme the light
Now gimme the light now
Gimme the light now
Gimme the light

And we back at it again
People mad at it again
I'ma make it shatter again
Bringin' it in, follow the pen to the end
This is a random thought you think I know
But I do not get me started
This is a world that I departed
Didn't want anything I brought it
Didn't want anything I had
Didn't want anything I gave
Had me feelin' like a slave
Like I shouldn't be so brave
Shit don't matter anyway
Whether you back or center stage
Boys and girls still on the stage
Givin' everything they got
Comin' on down, they shootin' they shot
The whole audience gon' hope you rot
Hope you burn when you make it on top
'Cause everybody got, everybody got
Everybody got, everybody got problems
Why you think we end up in asylums
Everybody love an underdog 'til the underdog on top
Then they wanna see him drop
Put him behind bars and never free him
Tee him up for destruction
Like Doc D at the function
I don't know where I'm headin' but I'm at the junction
Losin' my mind, I follow the signs, I'm out here tryin'
I really mean that I'm not lyin'
I want 'em to love me (I want 'em to love me)
I want 'em to love me (I want 'em to love me)
I want 'em to love me (I want them to love me)
I want them to love me (I want them to love me)
I want them to love me (I want them to love me)
I just want 'em to love me (I want you to love me, yeah)
I want you to f*ckin' lo-

I really wanna get it I wanna get it
I need it, I gotta have it
I really wan' 'em all to love me
And I really wanna get it
I gotta get it
I really wanna get it
I gotta get it
I want 'em all to love me, yeah
I want 'em all to love me

Give me, give me the light to shine-shine-shine-shine
Give me, give me the light to shine-shine-shine-shine
Give me, give me the light to shine-shine-shine-shine
Give me, give me the light to shine

Are you not entertained?
I can smell their flesh from here
The Planet Death welcomes their souls

Remind me how the f*ck we found ourselves
Armed to the teeth in a giant Roman Coliseum of the stars
About to go toe-to-toe with these psychopaths?

Look man, we just gotta stay alive

And now, the supreme chancellor and ruler of Planet Death, the honorable Enron Solstice

My people
The time is upon us to wash the blood from the souls of these sinners
Are you ready?
We give these men to the gods above to show allegiance
Now, let the blood drain from their bodies and run through our innocent

Shit
How the hell are we supposed to kill these things?
They look like giant scaly lions

Oh shit, here
Take this TP3, aim for their hearts

There's a team to the North East

Kai, there's a sniper to your right

I know, I know, I know

Take 'em out ATM

I am sorry, captain
But the Anti-Software won't allow me to participate here, only biological

What good are you as a f*cking marine if you can't kill the enemy? Goddamn it!

Uh-uh, f*ck!

Kai's been shot! He's down!

Oh no, Kai's dead!

Three approaching to your right, captain

No! It can't be, I can't do this alone
I've never done this before

Captain, they are approaching
(What's the point?)
Thomas, you need to move now
(It's all over anyways)
You need to move now
Thomas, no!
Thomas, get up!
Thomas, get up!

Game over, you're dead
Game over, you're dead

Goddamn, why are you freezing like that?

'Cause this game is impossible
How could I have even slightly damaged their mage
When my space barbarian isn't even Level 43?

You just needed to use Juggernaut
Then shoot the f*ck out of those hoes with your GP3, on the full auto, man

Look, I tried to play this game and I don't know, man
These neural path games just don't do it for me
Now chess- that is a game I can play

Man, you just old

F*ck you, chess is amazing
Why even play shit like this?

Honestly?

Yeah

As an escape

Escape from what?

The day-to-day, I guess
It's the same reason I lose myself in film and music
It feels like home

You know what?
I might not get that game, but I get that

Bitch, you buggin' me like ziz ziz
Bitch, you buggin' me like ziz ziz ziz ziz, ziz ziz
Ziz ziz ziz ziz
Bitch, you buggin' me like ziz ziz
Bitch, you buggin' me like ziz ziz ziz ziz

Yeah, so what you mean?
Gotta get my queen, gotta get my mind right
I'm a fiend for the like, head to the light
It might seem what I like
But it's not everybody wanna get
But they don't got discipline
Bobby on that ish again, got big M's like Michigan
Don't think they think they listen and

They buggin out like ziz ziz
Bitch, they buggin out like ziz ziz ziz ziz

Yeah, suck on my blood type, be positive
Logic was born to rise to this occasion
It's obvious my hobby was rhymin' hottest
My hobby adapted the name of Logic
And sacrificed the soul of Bobby

Now I be buggin' out, buggin like ziz ziz
Homies hold me down, who gon' hold me?
Bitch, I'm buggin' out like ziz ziz ziz ziz

Make some friends and I make some M's
And I cop that bounce, got a song with Wu
Got a song with Em
Feel like this hype won't ever end
But it's all pretend
On top of the world
Then got a divorce
In front of the world
And get a new girl
Then what do I see? My face on the cover of TMZ
Private jet, bad bitch and me
I am a slave, no, I'm not free
Have no bargain, have no plea
Accepting my whole destiny

I'm bucking, bugging out like ziz ziz
Ziz, ziz
Ziz ziz, uh

When I was a little boy, living in the void
I was never joyed
World destroyed before it began
Never had a man
Never had a figure to hold my hand with
I'm just (teleport)
Seven years old
I'm covered in blood
A man on the floor
My mama in jail
And I'm all alone
Dirt under my nails
No food on the table
My people have failed (teleport)
Ten years old, man, the world's so cold and I got no money
My mama no money
My daddy no money
My family no money
The government's taking it from me
I'm hungry, I need it
I turn on the television and envision the food that they got
I can't eat it, I teleport (teleport, teleport, teleport)
Eight years old in the basement with my daddy girlfriend
She big breasted
Shoved her tongue all the way down my prepubescent throat
I was molested (teleport)
Mama got arrested (teleport)
Houses roaches infested (teleport)
First time got arrested (teleport)
(Teleport, teleport, teleport)
Daddy looked me in my face and said he had no son
I'm twelve years old but maybe eleven
And I've been abandoned by everyone (teleport)
Shot my homie's gun (teleport)
Get kicked out of school (teleport)
Now I'm on the run (teleport)
Watch me act a fool (teleport)
'Til the day I was kidnapped by this cracker white boy
And hoped I'd get back
They dreamin' 'bout millions, hopin' I'd get that (teleport)
Now I'm twenty-eight, at the Garden and it's sold out
Like some people say I did with my career
But I made it through that shit I grew up with and I'm still here
Bitch let me teleport to February 6th, 2020
F*ck rap, this the day that nobody could take from me
The day my son was born
I saw the whole world differently
I'm not defined by my past, this a different me
And you can teleport the f*ck up out my face if you feel differently
Yeah, yeah

E4
E5
Bishop C4
Knight C6
Queen H5
Too early to be bringing out that queen, Thomas
Knight G6
Oh no, Kai
Bitch, why you on business? I'm trying to win this game of chess
Queen F7
That's mate
Man, what the f*ck, man?
Man, how you get so good at chess?

When I was a little boy, my father told me about how his great-great-great grandfather Clark
Robbed this traincar full of gold with his gang
And during the robbery, there was a chess tournament being held in first class
It was such a cool story, I decided to learn how to play
Kai? Kai

What? What? What?

Goddammit, dude
I'm telling a story here, what the f*ck?

I heard you!

What did I just, no, you did not
What did I just say?

Grass and yaks

Shut up, Kai

Swim to the scene, socks is soaked
Heart is gold, lens is chrome
Vs, Vs, Vs, Vs
Bitch throw me neck, I don't shop at Lids
Bitch want a shot, tell her sip on her kids
Nigga purp' like Grimace, I get high like blimp
Get popped in the dome, nigga, I don't attempt

Any bitch sell wet Costa Rica coast (bitch)

Made a million and another million and I made it out

Only f*ckin' with the clout 'cause your money runnin' out
I see the drought, the f*ck you talkin' about?
Everyone know you a bitch
Ain't no talkin' it down, you bitch, you a punk, you a disgrace
Get this money, get from me, get bread, don't get crumby
I'm the one of one, bitches want me
The left, the right, the black, the white
The complication in the game, erasin' the name
Pain, what a lot of money bring
Gotta maintain for the gang-gang, for the bloodline of mine
Can only take so much, feel like everywhere I look
The people crook, really wanna take from us
Need a break, need an escape, need to cut cake
But you can't escape the fate
Everybody fake, everybody take
Everybody want what they can't have
Can't laugh, can't have happiness 'cause you's a bitch

You always creep
You always creep
You always creep
You always creep
(Logic's favorite Quentin Tarantino movie is Once-)
You always creep
You always creep
You always creep
You always creep

Ayo, uh, one, two, three, four
Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir
Peep the lore, cinematic metaphor
Nine years since I did The Incredible True Story
Now let me break down my career through the films in this category
In the backlot, surrounded by guns, killers and crack rock
Wish God could've re-edited that shot, I guess not
The L-O-G-I-C, open your mind, like O-ren Ishii
At fourteen, cinema was my morphine
Surrounded by more fiends, I could describe the sight enforcin'
Crazy 88 vs The Bride, my house was fortified
Single mother's mortified as they children died
While the killers out on bail and then show up to court and lied
See I discovered hip-hop through Volume One
Tarantino hit the RZA, left the whole world stunned
Now I heard of Wu-Tang, but never truly knew the gang
First scene in the movie, Nancy Sinatra, Bang Bang
Sampled that shit through the MPC in a plot of swang
I'm down to rabbit hole, 36 Chambers released the catapult
Next thing I know, I'm bumpin' Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Buildin' my armor like a Brinks
Supreme Clientele got me out here wanna be rockin' minks
Nas is up next, QueensBridge where them gangsters pump text
Mos Def was rockin' with The Roots
Then I discovered RatPack sippin' scotch at the Santa, rockin' suits
Blend it all together, what you get, that's Young Sinatra
Prepare for departure, partner
Just me and my room, steady vision like a Dolly zoom
Hopin' I'll make it out, probably soon
Smoke in my lungs like Mr. White, I'm far from Mr. Right
My childhood home, really, honestly, I don't miss the sight
Nothin' but fight or flight, we never freeze
Increase the light up by degrees and ignite the trees, with ease
RatPack what they call us, a boss like Marsellus Wallace
Droppin' Jules like bad motherf*ckers is on my wallet
Discovered The Delfonics from the sonics of the third film
Cookin' without a kiln, but, yeah, we still pushin'
Afraid of flyin' from the fear at the airport, like Pam Grier
From Metropolis to Upgrade, we finally made it here
Flip the track like Stuntman Mike, I'm feelin' Death Proof
Moment I left the booth, now check the proof
I dropped Bobby Tarantino in the valley in Encino
I could finally feel the heat like De Niro and Al Pacino
Every track that I record, feel like another Nazi scout
I'm Django on a horse now, watch me mount any amount
I'm Sam Jack in The Hateful Eight, comin' face to face with his fate
That's me at sixteen, millimeters from my dream
I guess it all started with Kill Bill, but after a couple of mill'
I started to feel like they didn't respect the skill
Still attained what I did, livin' a dream in a four-story crib
I could have never imagined as a kid
Everything he wanted to attain I did, felt like a has-been
Finally saw the code behind The Matrix like an admin
Said, "F*ck Hollywood," and moved to a cabin
As a man in the game, I related to Rick Dalton, spit fire and flow molten
Wanted nothin' more than to open that gate
For a dinner party next to Polanski and Tate
So when I saw Rick climb the mountain at the end of the movie
I realized all this shit these people been talkin' just movin' through me
I felt like a failure with the world in my hand
And this is somethin' only less than the one-percent understand
Was always in demand until I wasn't
F*ck the hamster wheel, you're not a human, f*ck how you feel
You don't have the same passion and skill as you did when you were younger
And you never will, fill the void
Your fans want you in the past, like Christopher Lloyd
Been on tour for ten years, like a marine that's been deployed
And now none of it matters, just my woman and my boy
So when I finally saw Rick throwin' a fit thinkin' that it was it
I felt the same identically, cause we've been through the same shit
Felt like my hay-day passed at dinner, my wife says it has
You'll never have the passion that you had
'Cause you were tryin' to make it out and not end up like your mom and dad
It drove me to tears at the table, knowin' that I'll never be able
To relive it and give it my all, constantly in a state of fall
'Cause ain't no way that you can do what you've been done
The only thing that I'm that passionate about these days, my son
Already won, this game is for the young, not playin' that shit
Too grown to be number one on top in this rap shit
So my favorite Tarantino movie used to be Kill Bill
I felt like Beatrix while on my way to the top of this hill
Once I finally reached the summit, felt my stomach plummet still
'Cause I realized it's all about the clout and not the skill
Used to be driven like a highway
Now I'm older and wiser, Rick Dalton walkin' up the driveway
I'll never have the passion I once did, it's understood
It's all good, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

You always creep
You always creep
You always creep
You always creep

Yeah, doin' seventy on this highway
In the back of this bus, I'm bustin' my mind open
Hopin' these lyrics connect like Tetris, effect
Retrospect got me in a state of constant reflection
Corrections, I was destined, manifestin' somethin' much different
I'm livin' this way, off of what should've been my fate
Livin' in the constant state of "What the f*ck should I create?"
'Cause I can do it all, yo
Pickin' the pen up when I'm feelin' pent up
Like a K9 when he pickin' the scent up
Seventeen in the stair-, yo
Ayy, seventeen in the stairway, hustlin' drugs
Listenin' to Grandmaster by GZA and Muggs
My mama wylin' while I'm tryna find my style in the game
While the legends was killin' it, I was crawlin' in the game
It's all the same, from Maryland out to Spain
You know we keepin' that same train of thought
Shit that can't be bought but only taught by millions of dollars
Now look what that there then brought us more problems
Only when you understand 'em, can you solve 'em
Feel like Rooster Jenkins, while the rest revolvin' 'round the dollar
Word to Allah, I can only hope the best for the rest of this world Inshallah
Memories of 2011 in the Impala
I used to rock the Jansport, now it's Louis V
'Cause that Italian leather right there is a movie, B
The perception of who we be is lesser than a ninety-degree V
'Cause what we doin' is greater than they could ever see
Keep it a hundred like a C, yeah, my flow is Roman B
You know the flow is rowin', B, and right now
If I'm bein' honest, I really don't get the angle
Your lyricism got me nappy, like a nigga's tangled
That ain't no black exploitation, it's a black boy facin' his fears
'Cause nigga was afraid to say "Nigga" for years
Not in my life, but on the record, 'cause these niggas here
Don't like the fact that I'm a half breed, and they make it clear
You ain't no nigga, were never no nigga
I could give a f*ck about what childhood trauma that does trigger
Your brothers is niggas, your sisters is niggas
Your aunties, uncles, and your cousins is niggas
Your daddy is a nigga
Every single one of them called you a nigga growin' up
But you ain't (nah), f*ck that picture that you tryna paint
I'm here to tell you who you are and what to do (man, f*ck you)
Some people say I can and some people say I can't
Why you so obsessed with me, just let me paint
Man, I'd be lyin' if I said this shit don't get to me
'Cause not a single one of my black folks said shit to me
Whenever I see black prevail, that shit a victory
Before I wrote this shit down, I had to pick the beat
I know the way that the word "Nigga" and its history
The fact that any of us still say it a mystery
But y'all don't want that word in my lungs, like a hystemy
I'll never know how it feels to be a black man
But I know how it feels when your own people give you the backhand
That's why I'm writin' this shit here for the people that need it
And then attendin' the thousands at the show and repeat it
Whoever you are, listenin', that needed this right now I love you
Don't ever let the world put negativity above you
Just be yourself, unapologetically
This shit right here for my dawgs, pedigree, let it be
This is me, peace, love, and positivity
Back in the day, people said that it was gay
That I rapped about my feelings, now it's critically acclaimed
Ain't it funny how time switches the frame?
They used to call 3000 a pillow biter
'Cause he wore pink feathers and wore leather
It would insight a riot in the rap community
Uh, now he's considered top five with full immunity
Love this rap shit, but the fact is, my factions
They givin' to Grammy's to niggas that's actin'
Shit is trash, word to Oscar
If rap was the woman of my dreams, then I'd toss her
'Cause I finally woke up, that's no inception
I bring life into the game, these niggas' contraception
Peep the ascension, nothin' but love is my intention
But they still get it backwards, they never pay attention
They all henchmen, I'm in the game, they all bench men
Ayy, listen, ayy, listen, never stop, no, never give up your dream
And no matter the adversity you'll always reign supreme, what?

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
This for everybody

You gon' be a star, shootin' from afar
You gon' be ignited when they don't like who you are
I know who you can be, I know what your plan be
I know you understand me
And I know that you never wrong, yeah, you're never wrong
What you want? Like what you want?
Money burn fast as the sun
Hoes only last until it's gone
High fashion don't help fatten the starved
Compassion is
Lackin' in the masses, the rich is fastin'
While the lower class is clappin' for em
Pourin' to they pockets double tappin'
On they watches never stoppin', steady clockin' into jobs
Only option is to rob, I let them rob me of my dream
That I believed could be achieved if he'd just give me a break
To breathe, or is it too late for me?

I don't wanna give up, but it's gettin' close
I went all in and now I wanna fold
I just wanna make it, I just wanna make it, I just wanna make it
I'ma motherf*ckin' take it, and I'll take it when I want
Been doin' hindu practice, imagine ajna
Niggas askin' me to drop, but I'ma drop it at my top, bitch, my peak
Got a lot of time to build up my will from defeat
Was too comfy for me at the ground floor, I re-
'Member what was read, I had to jump on my feet
Root of all evil, deceitful people own your green
Protect your heart before they catch wind of the sins that you hold deep
Many put a lot of power in they self-esteem
To cover for their sacral needs harmin' the harmony between
The love in bein' a human bein', I been tryna be the opposite of what I see on my screen
False prophet, profits are toppin' rockets, not tryna stop it
Just tryna give the kids another option before they caught in shots
Lined to be rhymed in a line on a top five
And some niggas wearin' suits are gettin' paid for the crime

Come on, tell me what it really means to understand the reason he wanna make it by any means
Livin' the dream and when you focus on your self-esteem, then build yourself a team
It feel like anything can happen, at the open mic, you snappin'
Started singin', now you rappin'
I remember when I was a young man, thinkin' that I can do anything I wanted
Homies gettin' blunted, I was writin' rhymes and hopin' that I stunted
Never confronted what I really wanted, a mama and a daddy
But prolly both would take, prolly never have me
Even though my mama got that check from government once a month
No wonder why I stunt, I made it out, I never doubt the reason
That I do it, I knew it, move through it, everything congruent
And why you think I gotta put this boy up on the track?
Because you gotta pay it back, matter of fact
The atoms in my upper back have shifted like a chiropractor
Give it back of the line, the rhyme and everything that I find
Every other day, I think about a life away from that, away from rap
I went to hell and made it back
I made it to heaven and my reality full of vitality
Had to bein' why they mad at me
Said it emphatically, rappin' dramatically, shinin' achromatically
Give it to 'em grammatically, rappin' like an automatic be
'Cause that's how the static be
Where I grew up, it had to be
Everybody mad at me 'cause I don't fit in they picture perfect rap category
'Cause I gave it to 'em pragmatically
The rest is erratically
Systematically givin' it to 'em pneumatically
While I'm tunin' new record grammatically
Shit is mathematically, undeniably and enigmatically
Audiomatically me, and won't never be, I know be the only one that ever did it
Like I done the track sixteen on The Incredible True Story
I run it and always will from afar

You gon' be a star (star), shootin' from afar
You gon' be ignited when they don't like who you are
I know who you can be, I know what your plan be
I know you understand me, and I know that you never wrong, yeah, you're never wrong
What you want? Like what you want?
Money burn fast as the sun
Hoes only last until it's gone
High fashion don't help fatten the starved
Compassion is
Lackin' in the masses, the rich is fastin'
While the lower class is clappin' for em
Pourin' to they pockets double tappin'
On they watches never stoppin', steady clockin' in to jobs
Only option is to rob, I let them rob me of my dream
That I believed could be achieved if he just gave me a break
To breathe, or is it too late for me?

In a league of my own, just me and my homies
You don't know me if you ain't never come around my block
Just stop it, I've already got it, everything I need in this life
Everything I need in this life, everything I need in this life
Everything I need in this life, everything I need

Mission Control, this is Captain Quentin Thomas of the Aquarius III
Requesting permission to dock
Yeah, Mission Control here, mediation complete
You folks find anything out there?
I wish
Contact with Babel in sixty seconds
You know, Thomas? I never thought I'd meet someone like you on the unit
Not to sound weird, but I just never felt like I could connect with others here
Heh, yeah, I hear ya
Alan Watts, a great philosopher once said
"Anything you can be interested in, you'll find others who are"
As cliché as it is, it's hard to fit in
Find others like yourself
But, if you search hard enough, they are out there
Aye, captain
Come on Atom, I gotta wipe your core
Oh nah, man, come on
Don't do me like that, homie
You can't just give me this entire identity and then take it away, like, "Bye, Felicia"
All the film and movies and clowning on you guys
Ayy, man, that's not my fault
But if they find out that you've been out of your-
First Officer, I think the robot can keep a secret
Mum's the word
I won't say shit
Well boys, it looks like we've finally come to the end of this chapter
See ya on the next one, cowboy
