I got rent, I got bills but I want a record deal Don´t wanna give up on my dreams ´cause I know I got skills
People sayin´ I won´t make it, sometimes that´s how it feels Dreams and ambitions of makin´ millions from record deals Emotions, I let it spill, I´m goin´ in for the kill Give ´em my everything still, I hope you feel me for real Just me and all my homies, we want it now more than ever Destined to work a nine-to-five, man, fuck all that, whatever I want this life forever I wanna make it out my hood, I wanna do shit better I got nothin´ to my name, not even no GED But I don´t wanna be some has-been, lookin´ back at forty-three
Wonderin´ who he could be if he had the guts to take the leap That´s why I´m here to take the beat And not repeat the cycle of people who never lived their dreams I was destined a life of nothin´, my parents both fiends My name is Logic, I wrote this record at nineteen And now at thirty-one, I read pages from my old rhyme book Thinkin´ ´bout the time that it took to get here See it clear like Visine, me and my regime made it by any means Used to eat at Denny´s, now it´s Nobu, hella clean Relieve the pain like ketamine, relive the pain and let ´em in Started as a freshman, now Logic a veteran
Thinkin´ ´bout the time it took to get here I signed a deal and made the mills, can finally afford to pay the bills This world is cold as fuck like I´m from the ´Ville Let that last line chill, everything I ever wanted, now I got it Fuck a subject, school, I dropped it, grabbed a gat and cocked it Me and my homies in the lab, dope shit, what we concocted Yo, I been to hell and back, motherfuck a platinum plaque None of that, it don´t mean shit if your family ain´t got your back I´m unretired, yeah, I´m back, that´s a fact, that´s that
