[Verse 1]
It feel like just yesterday, I was broke as hell
Livin' life behind these bars like I couldn't make the bail, shit
Workin' at Wingstop, cookin' chicken that was boneless
'Til my sister kicked me out before Christmas and I was homeless
Girl, I ain't mad at ya, you know I love you the same
'Cause all I did was light the fire to break up in this game
I had a girl for a while, she was the love of my life
Thought we'd have a couple kids, she'd be my lover, my wife
'Til she felt it wasn't working, so I asked what was next
She said, "Nothing," and left me with that goodbye sex
That was 2010, felt like I would die then
'Til I packed up the mic, said, "Fuck it all," and fully dived in
Fast forward a couple years, my flow is fully infectious
Up in your system like tetanus, close to your heart like a necklace
In private events, Kevin Liles and John Gotti
Trey Songz and even Trey's mom, what a party
This the life that I'm livin', can't forget where I came
Maryland just like Monroe, man, all of y'all know the name
It's been a long time comin', and this music all I got
And even though I knew I'd always make it, still, who woulda thought?
Def Jam, goddamn, but you know we keep it Visionary
Vs up, 'til we on top like missionary
[Interlude]
Check it, check it, check it, uh, check it, check it, yeah
[Verse 2]
Conversations while the Empire State in the backdrop
Spittin' bars with Nas on the Manhattan rooftop
Talkin' business and predictin' what quarter the tape would drop
Fifteen, writin' rhymes inspired by Illmatic, I'm still at it
Every record I record leave the record shattered
'Cause I'll be in the lab for a month
Searchin' for inner peace through meditation like a monk
I'll be makin' that music, makin', makin' that music that
Resonates from the burbs to the hood
I remember wishin Yeezy would sign me to GOOD
But now we on the same label, so this shit's all good
And to be honest, I'm glad that I did it myself
'Cause I know what's in store like I stock the shelf
All the hip-hop fans, they gotta wait through the commercial
But they know the feature presentation gon' be universal
At rehearsal thinkin' 'bout my life
And how you know I refuse to be blinded by the light
And everything is all right
RattPack, Visionary all day, it's Logic
[Interlude]
(Yeah) Yeah (Heh)
Showoff Radio, this is live radio, people, Logic's in the place
Shoutout to all my homies at Def Jam (Yeah, yeah)
Shoutout to DJ Premier on the beat, NY Gs
Premier? Oh my god
No BlackBerry, no iPhone (Yeah, you know), straight off the top
Oh, yeah, straight off the top, you already know, all day
Oh my god, yo, I-I don't understand, like
This— can you— can we— yo, bring the beat back right now
The same beat or do you wanna switch it up? (Bring the beat ba—)
No, the same beat, come on, let's go
Same beat? Aight, we gon' do it like this, lemme see—
Uh
Let's keep goin'
Yo, yo
[Verse 3]
Check it, check it, check it, check it, lemme get it now
Said check it, check it, lemme get it
I be spittin', it's never written, ridiculous, goddamn, off the top of the dome
I'm murderin' every single one of they chromosomes
I'm reppin' Maryland to the fullest, push us but never pull us, they know the deal
This is how we do it all the time, we keep it real
It's that RattPack, hit you with the gat, crack, crack
Like that, never slack, goddamn, now can you feel it?
Can I ride wit' ya? Paint this picture like I got it so ridiculous
Check it, check it, a-check it, check it
Said I got it like that, ain't no need for grippin' the gat
Keep it Ratt, never slack, motivation attack
Goddamn, I could feel it, this is strictly off the top
It's never written 'cause that shit is forbidden
I'm never kiddin' like the bitch that's on that birth control
Goddamn, w— second that I feel the vibe
And yes, I'm fuckin' up, so that's how you know that this shit is so goddamn real
Tell me how you feel? How you feel? Never squeal like that
Blat, hit you with the gat, sike, nah
NYC to MD, the L-O-G-I-C, I'm reppin' it
Yes, I gotta get it, second that we step in it
It's strictly off the top
I could feel the energy
I ain't talkin' E-N-E-R-G-Y, I mean inner G
That's the shit they never see, but I hold supremacy
Number one I bet I'll be, bitch, I said, "I better be"
Tryna take my kindness for weakness, get the better of me
Fuck that, never stop with that
This is how we do it, cock it back, then I hit that
Ridiculous, understand it's ridicule'less
You could never top this, you could never stop this
Hundred thousand first week, album, when I drop this
Goddamn, can you feel it? That's the man
Said it's Logic
[Outro]
(Woo) Yeah (Haha), word up, man
Yo, that was fun, haha (Haha)
