Reese One - Logic lyrics

[Verse 1: Basic MC] I get to thinking that I'm just another n***a rapping And jaw jacking, take a look see Every child on that blacktop thinks he's heading to the league And every collegiate student major crosses major artery And off to Paris, where he'll become William Bates And not desire tour dates, but who doesn't Every stranger I come upon either does it Or has a rapping a** cousin These rapping, tapping, coons come a dozen, a dozen And they equate they all tight When truthfully speaking man, they alright People ask, "how do you know what you spit is tight" Cuz I'm the bend that they respectively shake palms with And I'm the man they writing to, to share songs with That's how I know Therefore I grow, into an independent form Denounce diplomas and dorms Promote my decorum Create an illusion, that they need you more than you do them While you all made and shopped demos I concocted LP's to sell sh** Might as well, create a fan base and gather tiny chips With your larger than partial time slave wages So to not starve I stay paid Man, ask Flossy Jay how we keep the sh** moving man [Hook: Reese One] Point out the man that said you can't have your cake and eat it too Who? Homeboy, cake is edible Understand this and we can undermine the streets incredible Point out the man that said you can't have your cake and eat it too Who? Homeboy, cake is edible Understand this and we can undermine the streets incredible [Verse 2: Reese One] On the highway of life, i'm in the fast lane with my wife With my foot to the floo', ain't no where to go I gave the old heave ho' to all the bullsh** and dreams I'm one of the only n***as that, is what he seems Doing what the f** I wanna do, how I wanna do it Found my place in the world and then I stuck true to it Lived a lot of pointless years on this planet Had to peep the overtones to completely understand it But now that I do, I make the b**h revolve around me Stop seeking the lighter route and then that b**h found me And you can down me, but f** it money is the key Just not the only door, my future is cure And I'm happy, so you can roll your eyes or you can dap me Cuz I don't give a f**, your whole existence s**s You struggling f**ed in the game by the government Conforming to the norm and you smile like you loving it I answer to one thing, the all seeing, all knowing You serving the anti-christ, in the office building hoin' You ain't knowin'? I done made my own twist and legal or illegal my sh** is my sh** You ain't knowin'? I done made my own twist and legal or illegal my sh** is my sh** [Hook] Point out the man that said you can't have your cake and eat it too Who? Homeboy, cake is edible Understand this and we can undermine the streets incredible Point out the man that said you can't have your cake and eat it too Who? Homeboy, cake is edible Understand this and we can undermine the streets incredible [Verse 3: Basik MC] See pops put a foot to my a** Said, "become a man, shape destiny with your own hands' It's not like I didn't know But lacking that cushion I must put everything I've got into fruition So we zip our traps and be about it In addition take kilometers to the inches were allotted Understand I'm from the epicenter of pretty boys Spoiled rotten, Riot gear and floss the city toys The silver spoons you gotta spit out And turn your back f** a handout, is how I act f** mingling, f** networking, f** connects and f** Hollywood on a whole Saddle and a coattail is a quick way to free fall to hell Fools first words be, "oh, been in the studio with such and such and whoopty whoop and snoop and them" But where you stand, when they like them And you was the only third string And you don't even mean a thing But us when tinsel town come a-knocking We're gonna bust a gut on the inside Take a bite out this cake and then we ride It's like that [Outro: Reese One] I found the beauty in this earth God bless the day he gave me birth I live my life for what it's worth Gonna always keep me first When I die in the end you see Don't cry just know I did my thing Nice run, I had my fun God promised me eternity I still ain't done I said, I found the beauty in this earth God blessed the day he gave me birth I lived my life for what it's worth Gonna always keep me first When I die in the end you see Don't cry just know I did my thing Nice run, I had my fun God promised me eternity I still ain't done
