Logic - Lightyear lyrics

Ayo, my voice raspy as
Fuck 'cause I'm thirty-one, hahaha
And I've been ra I've been
Practicing my raps and shit
Ayo, I promise I won't never change
I'ma always stay the same i'ma be me
I'll never change, man, I promise you
I swear yeah

I'll never change
I'll never make music for money
You'll never catch me at
The VMAs acting funny
Never on the radio on some la-di da shit
That's the day you know I forfeit
I'ma always be the man I
Am and never morph it
That's the day you'll know my shit
Is wack 'cause I forcеd it
Dropped a track and some
Enеrgy drink endorsed it


I'ma always be the same person
That's cursing on this track

I won't ever change, I promise
I ain't never going back yeah
Heh, yeah, you thought, motherfucker
This is what it really is, youngin

Ayy, why you think I went pop?
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)

Feels good (Logic back) here we go

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 PO
Rollie gold like C3PO
And I'm busting off like R2
That's COD level, I'm all through
Now fuck you

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

Yo, that shit was crazy
For real bro, we're really on to something
Yo, what's up? Y'all Y'all tryna grab
A bite to eat or something mm, I can't
That chick I was rappin' up at the
Bar finna give me a ride
If you know what I mean, ah fuck
Hahaha, you're fucking wild (yeah, peace)
Alright man
(Alright dawg, I'll see you) , alright man
Peace (I'ma head out too
But, I'll see you next
Weekend at everlasting light)
Bet, alright man, I'll see you later
(Alright man, I'll see you) , peace
Well, I'ma catch a ride with OB I guess, man
I got finals tomorrow
6ix, you're lit as fuck
There's no way you're even gonna wake up
Bro, I'm Indian, we pass exams in our sleep
Hahaha aight man, alright peace, dawg
Alright man, I'll catch you
Well, and then there were two
Haha, yeah, let me unlock it
You really should be proud man yeah?
Yo, bro, shit is happening
You getting shit posted on 2DopeBoyz
And This Song Is Sick
Doing some real numbers on DatPiff
Look, shit, just a year ago you were homeless
You been sleeping on my couch
For like only a year
And now look what's going on
Yeah, yeah, I guess what's wrong?
Nah, I I'm good i don't know man
I'm just– I'm excited and I'm terrified
Of what? I love rap, you know
It's definitely a foot in the door
But, I wanna do other shit too, you know
I don't wanna be on stage
At fucking fifty years old
Rapping like the vein in my
Forehead is gonna explode
With the fucking "get down or lay down
Hit ya with the Beretta"
Fucking fuck no, man, like
Dude, I wanna sing, I wanna play guitar
I don't just wanna play it safe
I I'm just a little scared of what people
Like if I If I make it in rap
What if people expect that of me?
What if that's the image, you know, of
What Logic is or what he isn't? I don't know
I just wanna be able to
I just wanna be able to do whatever I want
Man, just keep doing what you're doing
Keep spreading that positive message
Being positive
The fans are gonna love you, man
And they're gonna love you for
Putting your heart and
Soul into this music and making honest music
As long as you keep
Spreading that positive message
The fans are gonna be with you it's 2011
Who knows where you'll be in ten years?

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
