"Logic" lyrics
(feat. The Flaming Lips)
[Sample - The Flaming Lips:]
As logic stands, you couldn't meet a man who's from the future
All we have is now
But logic broke; as he appeared, he spoke about the future
[Logic:]
Nowadays I'm not thinking about particulars, man
I'm no longer cooking crack in a pan, I'm rapping for fans
Not used to taking L's, more like making M's
Chilling with family friends, used to be following trends
Now I just follow the muse, really ain't nothing to lose
Really can't follow the news, nothing but negativity brought up
Every other day another school or church is getting shot up
That wasn't how I was brought up
Load the ammunition, that's the new tradition
Nowadays I feel like I wanna pitch in
But I know that violence only be gats that, that's where the traps at
I'm tryna change shit but that won't ever happen
So I'm rapping filling the gap and never cappin' but I tap in when I need to
What the fuck is with the world we livin' in?
It's a simple question, it don't matter how hard, I'm never giving in
I want it but I don't wanna know it
And I continue the journey, discerning and always learning
I'm yearning to make a difference and have
But still I feel like only half, never whole
What the fuck is the goal?
[Sample - The Flaming Lips:]
As logic stands, you couldn't meet a man who's from the future
All we have is now
But logic broke; as he appeared, he spoke about the future
[Logic:]
Spitting fire with The Flaming Lips
Always bet on myself and double my chips
Follow my heart even through palpitations
2006 Food & Liquor was my salvation
Feeling like Rudy through emancipation dodging the plantation
My daddy freebasing, my momma heart racing
Now I'ma start facing reality
My mentality was dodging legality
Grew up in a hood where no one had an ounce of rationality
And no one gave a fuck about my nationality
'Cause we was struggling together through the weather
Made it out and made it better
Now I'm on one, retired, thought I was all done
Used to stress about this shit and now it's all fun
Well, maybe not but some of it is
I get what I got and hope it's enough
I'm in the cut, don't give a fuck but maybe a little
I'm stuck in the middle like Malcolm, like X, like Miller
I'm tryna rap 'cause I love it and make beats like Dilla
Hope you feel me, y'all, 'cause I'm still me, y'all
Writing raps from different points of view 'cause I know that we all in it together
Welcome to the world that I created
Give a fuck about a playlist and whoever done curated it
I made a hit then made it out, the radio done played it out
But they know now the world done got the message
I'm a vessel with a message
Wanna know where I'm at? Wherever the rest of the best is
Don't test this, I'm restless, confess this
I'm swinging and bringing the shit that explode
Leaving 'em ringing head to toe
Let it go, never know
My bankroll, had me hypnotized for a minute
Fuck the cash, grab the beat machine and now I'm back in it
Playing the game just to play, give a fuck if I win it
Made it to the top, name something higher and I'll ascend it
My career speaks for itself, I'll let my fans defend it
