Logic - Metropolis lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I've drifted
I feel different I feel gifted
I've been high so long
Don't need to smoke to get lifted
I've been under pressure looking for Nikki
Whenever she is around
You know I come quickly
Vivid memories of Chicago
South side where I go
From Reggies to the House of Blues
Progress is the motto
Man the first show that I ever
Done sold out was in Chicago yeah, yeah
Living like I've been ready to die
Maybe not
I don't know why my mind is changing
Rearranging this dangerous melody, uh
Yeah, and I know that ain't nobody
Finna ever be ahead of me
All that competition right there
Is dead to me


Yeah, uh, yeah, I've been turning the pages
Feeling the vibe, shit is outrageous
Boy, I've been feeling courageous
This shit right here
I've been at it for ages
Feels like I'm running through mazes
Everybody has they phases
Yeah, vibe with this
Bad bitch in the whip and I ride to this
And I'm feeling it uh
Hope when I'm forty I'm still in it
One of the few that be killing it, uh
Yeah, young motherfucker that be
Giving what he living
On the road to success so
You know that I'm driven
But they didn't wanna publish it
But right now I'm on some other shit
I'm in a different world
I'm with a different girl
I'm with the same team
But it's a different scheme
Remember back when I couldn't
Even pay the bills
And I'll never forget how that
Feels back when I would

Buy it, break it, roll it, light
It, smoke it, inhale it, i'm gone
Buy it, break it, roll it, light
It, smoke it, inhale it, i'm gone

Okay, doing what I gotta do
Flying at this altitude
I look out the window like Goddamn
That's what I really do
Don't know why I fear the planes
Sometimes I wish to sustain
If I look back on it I
Would do it all over again nikki, Nikki
Where you been? I can't wait
To breathe you in
Been on this plane way too long
I can't wait to see you again
Oh my God this turbulence has got
Me sippin' on this liquor
Crazy, racist, white bitch looking at us
Like, "Who are these niggas?"
First class, on they ass
All complain that's when I dash
Just landed in Europe and this
Model bitch is tryna smash
Now I'm riding on the train
All this shit inside my brain
Just left a hotel in Belgium
Damn them waffles was insane
Smoking blunts in Amsterdam
Oh my God, this is my jam
"May-December" by Mos Def
In my headphones, that's the man

I know, I know that I got it if I
Do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I
Do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high

Okay, fuck affiliation
I'm that dude that did it on his own
These thoughts inside my mind be fuckin'
With me when I'm all alone
I really like this girl she bad as fuck
Why must I run away?
It feel like self assassination
I can't put this gun away god damn
What's the plan? Not complacent where I am
Reminiscing when I hit the road
Back in that mini van
Broke as fuck, not a dollar
Whipping that Chevy Impala
Praying that we make it out
This city, Lord willin', insha'Allah
Up to date the couple years
Now my idols are my peers
I was on the road to nowhere
Till I decided to veer
Put my everything into this shit, you know
I know you know this
Used to give a fuck what people thought
Hoping that they would notice
Stop giving a fuck cause music
Gotta be the only motive
Mind racing on and off the track
I'm going locomotive

I can't believe you don't like Tarantino
Ugh, I don't like him because, like
When it's non like non Tarantino-esque
I think it's a good movie
You mean like Inglourious Basterds?
I didn't see that
What?! I didn't, I don't know
Oh my God! Have you seen 'Pulp Fiction'?
Yeah, but I don't really remember it
What you talking about? Have you seen uh this
Is funny cause we're on a train
Have you seen fuck! What's his name? The
Guy from the movie, in the place
On the thing?
On the train? With the scenery?
Uh, I'm tryna remember right now
Dammit 'Source Code'!
No You haven't seen that?
No With the dude from 'Donnie Darko'?
Who's that? Oh my God
Well, I still wanna know what
Your favorite Tarantino movie is
My favorite Tarantino movie?

I know, I know that I got it if I
Do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I
Do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I
Do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
