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 motherfuckers 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 Fuck 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) [Interlude] Feels good (Logic back) Here we go [Verse 3] I've been envisioning something different, not insufficient, fuck 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 fuck you [Part II] [Intro: Lucy Rose, Steve Blum, Lucy Rose & Steve Blum] 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 positivity 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 [Segue: Logic, Big Lenbo, C Dot Castro, 6ix & (DJ Boss Player)] Yo, that shit was crazy For real bro, we're really on to something Yo, what's up?

[Verse] 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 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 find myself It 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
