[Chours 1]
Do the D-A-N-C-E, one, two, three, four, fight
Stick to the B-E-A-T, get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T, catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C, that's how you make it right
[Verse 1: Ivan B]
I just need some thoughts and some paper
Tryna get this money, I can't wait up any later, yeah
Livin' in the spotlight, kick it 'til it's my time
Work around the clock, what the hell is a sunrise?
Thirty thousand feet up, I'm just tryna kick my feet up
Get a mic and then I eat up
Name is Ivan, nice to meet ya, uh
New kid, new school, new kicks
Rippin' instrumentals 'til I'm damn toothless, so
Here we go, here we go, yeah it's grind time
Tryna gеt the K-O like we livе in prime-time
Doin' just me and I hope you do see
Love it or hate it, but I'm a microphone fiend, uh
All I need is a pen and a pad
Jottin' every story, everything I've ever had
Runnin' every line, and I'm doin' just fine
I'm a MC squared, yeah, come on, Einstein, yeah
Can you see it? I'm headed for the top
Do it for the team, never will I stop
Livin' for the dream, and I'm comin' up the scene
Yeah I'm livin' like a king, hear the gunshot ring, like
[Chorus 2]
Logic
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me wr-write this song man
Logic
Momma I'm sorry that I left at 17-at 17
I apologize a trillion times
[Verse 2: Ivan B]
Can you tell me why my dreams are gonna turn into reality?
People clawin' at my feet, who said it was a fantasy
Back in elementary, a nod to my seniority
They judgin' by the color of my face, not whats installed to me
But when there's a bright shiny moon, there's a dark side
Bonded forever, together livin' off peroxide
But you know it's my time, music is my lifeline
Chasin' a dream while you wavin' on a sideline, yeah
Money isn't everything but everything's a price
Money can't buy happiness, but happiness is life
Looking at a mirror thinking, "Can I really do this?"
Thinkin' I'm a teacher, but I'm merely just a student, now
Mic is the chemist, lyrics are the painting
And some of you rappers just keep painting the same thing
Love it or hate it, but I've been hated and plated
I've been disintegrated, ate up, then regurgitated, uh
Blood in the ink, so I spill upon the page
Painting in my room, I don't leave the house for days
Plotting in the attic for the ones who haven't heard of me
Stay grindin' all the time 'til Logic wants to work with me
[Chorus 2]
Logic
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song man
Logic
Momma I'm sorry that I left at 17-at 17
I apologize a trillion times
[Verse 3: Ivan B]
See we're livin' in a time where they speak you a rhyme
And I need more time to find myself
To find myself I need some help and I don't know what else
These teachers acting like they know me, like they needed help
Like they know what I've gone through
Worked so hard my face had gone blue
Givin' my all to the fans, show my plans
No waitin', I gotta go and come through
'Cause it's hard for me, it's hard for me to let you know
When I love something deeply, it just won't let me go
[Chorus 3: Lykke Li]
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
[Verse 4: Ivan B]
Sometimes I really wonder, did I give it all I can?
Staring at your number, hoping just to understand
I reminisce thinking of the walks we used to have
Taking your dog, holding hands with a couple laughs
See, baby girl, I know I started everything at night
I couldn't understand, yeah I couldn't see it right
So your feelings started losing every single light
Wrote you a song just to try and go and set it right
But everything just fell apart
'Cause these feelings always changin' like the season
Couldn't find a single reason why we ended it so short
Like a piece of me was missing when I walked outside that door
Now I'm looking for a reason just to come back through that door
So won't you let me in? Or is it all just in the past?
We loved what we had, yet it was thrown in the trash
Now all I have are these songs, tears and love-tunes
Reminscin' is just all an old wound, so let me go
[Chorus 3: Lykke Li]
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go tonight
Don't you let me go, let me go-
[Verse 5: Ivan B]
You haven't seen what I been on, but you know where I'll be at
Fightin' for a dying dream, happiness, I need that
Fighting off depression 'cause I don't see progression
But I learned every lesson so I keep the profession
Seventeen years, and I'm workin' up for forty more
Ladies tell me that they love me, that they wanna see a show
But the way that things been goin', it's been goin' awfully slow
Patience is a gift, but my tick is really 'boutta blow
Dream a full lifetime, no need to hurry
What's the first step if you can't make the journey?
Tryna set a pace, but lately I been outta breath
I'm writing every sentence, tryna give it all my very best
But now it's all me, I gotta grind more
I gotta make moves, my life's a checkerboard
They tell me to stop dreamin', but my head is to the ceilin'
Yeah, that's music as I'm healin', to the life I wanna live
Livin' my life, that's what I go and chase after
Life's a book, so no time to read the last chapter
Looking for a sign, music is the mind
Looking at the numbers, I know that it's my time
[Outro: Logic]
As a rapper, man, there's a lot of love, and there's a lot of hate
But whenever there's hate, you know, thrown my way or anything
I just think like, dude if my music has (and now that I know it's been confirmed) that it saved a life
Like, man, I would take a lifetime of hate just to know I could change somebodies life like that, so
