|
| You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
|
| You will not be able to lose yourself on scag and skip out for beer during
|
| commercials
|
| Because the revolution will not be televised
|
| This right here for the number one

|
| See there’s a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas
|

|
| Uhh, all you niggas my little rapper babies
|
| Y’all my children, y’all bit my shit and contracted rabies
|
| Don’t you grade me next to these rappers, baby, that’s degrading
|
| My style got so many different facets
|
| I switch into so many different passions
|
| I’m skippin' class to be fascinatin'
|
| My pen is like Big Ben, this shit’s just a classic waiting
|
| Your favorite rapper come at me, I just decapitate him
|
| I hate congratulating these has-beens who had their highs
|
| These rappers only won their matches because they strategize
|
| I bring Attica to these patterns, and here’s my battle cry
|
| Ring the alarm, the caterpillar is firing, ohh
|
| We in the war, where butterflies keep dyin' (ahh)

| Never let someone who’s not as smart as you
|
| Gas you up and tell you somethin' you never knew
|
| Always stay professional, you always gon' make revenue
|
| Don’t let people next to you that don’t want the best for you
|
| It’s completely normal to hold on to a regret or two
|
| I do what I wanna do, they do what I let them do
|
| Everything these niggas be sayin' is a fuckin' lie
|
| It’s nothing I can say to you that is realer
|
| Remember when you praisin' the butterfly
|
| Don’t you ever disrespect the fuckin' caterpillar
|
| This right here for the number one

|
| Yeah, sold a quarter million records in my first week
|
| And BET still don’t wanna let me perform
|
| Maybe it’s 'cause my pigment, maybe I’m being ignant
|
| Maybe it’s all a figment of my imagination
|
| And exaggeration exacerbates that I’m the illest, yes
|
| How many are willing to kill us?
|
| We the realest, that’s why they feel us the best
|
| But I don’t give a fuck about this rap shit, not really though
|
| Shittin' on a brother I should love, man, that’s silly, yo
|
| Fuck all this division and lyrical incision
|
| It’s time to unify cause hip-hop is beautiful, it’s you and I
|
| And it doesn’t discriminate if you black or white
|
| And you Christian or Muslim
|
| It just love 'em and put nothin' above 'em
|
| I just want to be remembered as a good person
|
| Dispersin' a message of hope while the world worsen
|
| And the media will still find a way
|
| To turn us into clickbait and misquote
|
| Wanna keep the peace, but if you do that
|
| I’ma slit throats, sike, nah
|
| «Logic's such a hypocrite», you can take a hike, nah
|
| Right now, I’m here to talk about suicide and depression
|
| Anxiety, mental health and all that other shit
|
| You scared to mention
|
| Yeah, I could talk about the millions I’ve amassed
|
| But now just ain’t the time or place
|
| It’s crazy how everyone so obsessed with my race |
| Cause I’m proud to be black, but matter fact
|
| If it was flipped around and every time somebody asked me
|
| What it was like to be a white rapper
|
| «What's it like to be a white rapper, Logic?»
|
| Oh and I was just like, just never talked about it like
|
| «Man, it’s just so great being a white rapper
|
| White, white, white, white everything
|
| White man—being white’s so great—wow it’s so great»
|
| And then some brother was like, «Ayy, ain’t yo daddy black?!»
|
| And I was like «Oh shit!»
|
| And the whole world be like «What, are you scared to be black?
|
| Are you ashamed to be black?! |
| Motherfucker, fuck you!
|
| Fuck you, you piece of shit, mixed, biracial, fucking cunt»
|
| (That's how they be)
|
| Cole said fuck all this black and white, it’s time to unite
|
| Be who you are, identify as a star
|
| Fuck all the jewelry and money inside of yo car
|
| You still just a person and I’m still dispersin' these lyrics
|
| Fuck the rap ego shit, just be a good person now that’s the spirit
