King Green - Caterpillar (Remix) lyrics

[Intro: Gil Scott-Heron] You will not be able to stay home brotha 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 [Chorus: King Green] This right here for the number one Number ones here with your number one You ain't number one, just another one Now everybody sayin' that they number one [Post-Chorus: Royce Da 5'9] Ring the alarm, the caterpillar keeps firing Ohh, we in the war, where bu*terflies keep dyin' (ahh) [Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9] I'm a product of Parker Lewis and Kubiak If I didn't do this, where in the f** would you be at? See there's a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas You a drip from my penis, I eat lions and sip hyenas You number one when it come to slaughtering mics I'm tryna be number one in my son and daughter life Uhh, all you n***as my little rapper babies Y'all my children, y'all bit my sh** 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 pa**ions I'm skippin' cla** to be fascinatin' My pen is like Big Ben, this sh**'s just a cla**ic 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 [Pre-Chorus: Royce Da 5'9] Ring the alarm, the caterpillar is firing Ohh, we in the war, where bu*terflies keep dyin' (ahh) [Chorus: King Green] This right here for the number one Number ones here with your number one You ain't number one, just another one Now everybody sayin' that they number one Kid think your number won't quit Number one song, get your number one chick Number one fly with your number one kick When it's all done then your number gon' switch [Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9] Hold up, wait a minute Guess what I'ma never do? Show so much respect to you That I feel like we're friends, so now we no longer competitors That could be the d**h of you 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 n***as be sayin' is a f**in' lie It's nothing I can say to you that is realer Remember when you praisin' the bu*terfly Don't you ever disrespect the f**in' caterpillar [Chorus: King Green] This right here for the number one Number ones here with your number one You ain't number one, just another one Now everybody sayin' that they number one Kid think your number won't quit Number one song, get your number one chick Number one fly with your number one kick When it's all done then your number gon' switch [Verse 3: Logic] 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 biggest, yes How many are willing to k** us, we the realest, that's why they feel us the best But I don't give a f** about this rap sh**, not really though sh**tin' on a brother I should love, man, that's silly, yo f** 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 Christian or m**m 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 whole world worsens 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 hypocite" You can take a hike, nah, right now Are we here to talk about suicide, depression, anxiety, mental health and all that sh** you scared to mention Yeah, I could talk about the millions I've ama**ed 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 of fact If it was flipped around and 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 sh**" And the whole world be like "What, are you scared to be black? Are you ashamed to be black?! Motherf**er, f** you! f** you, you piece of sh**. Mixed, biracial, f**ing c*nt" (That's how they be) Cole said f** all this black and white, it's time to unite Be who you are, identify as a star f** all the j**elry and money inside of yo car You still just a person and I'm still dispersin' these lyrics f** the rap ego sh** Just be a good person, now that's the spirit Shoutout to true emcees that love the culture From Duckworth to Chano, Jermaine and Joey Aubrey and can't forget Bobby To every emcee who knows that this is truly a way of life And not just a hobby, uh not just a hobby, uh Not just a hobby, this is a way of life Shout out to Bobby, the L-O-G-I-C, this sh** a way of life This sh** a way of life, yeah
