Hold up, wait, now take a look at my pigment Tell me again we can never be kin Based on the color of my skin Or the fact your lips ain't thin That's a club I don't wanna be in My DNA get done integrated My god is innovative That's a million miles away from administrative I fuckin' hate it, anyway Long ago, way back in the day in a place called West Deer Park I was, like, five, sit in my mama lap while she would drive Police would knock on the door, I would hide Then they would talk to me and I would lie Hopin' I don't die on the side of a .45 Then they would handcuff my mama and take her away Over down on the driveway Fast forward a couple of years and I'm bumpin' that Sade Fast forward a couple of more and I'm bumpin' that "My Way" By Sinatra, so high, so high, oh my, God damn Now I'm a grown man, oh man What the fuck done happened to the plan? I know as soon as I write this I might just go crazy (Crazy) Anything but lazy, I can't sleep (Why?) 'Cause if I do, there's another motherfucker wide awake on the creep Tryna kill you, and he will too We livin' like civilized people, but far from equal I hope I live a long life and get to see my sequel My son, my seed, watch him grow and then watch him lead Let me proceed, bumpin' that Californication by the Red Hot Fuck around and then hit 'em with a red dot Y'all better not me fuckin' with me Who, him? Yeah, me, I be the god MC [Chorus: Jesse Boykins III & Logic] Follow me to paradise (Oh, oh) Follow, follow me (Oh) Follow me to paradise (Oh, oh-oh) Follow me to paradise (Oh) Follow, follow me (Said oh) Follow me to paradise (Oh, oh-oh) [Part 2] [Verse 2: Logic] I remember my life long ago in my adolescence I could feel the presence in my residence Hesitant even thought it was evident I should get the fuck— I know something is wrong, uh Yeah, I know something is wrong Feel like my mind gone I know I play along, I might drown in this song Huh, I'm so focused, huh, I know you know this Uh, when I make a move, it feel like no one notice Uh, when I quit my job, uh, I fuckin' noticed Shit, maybe then they'll notice, huh, but maybe not Feel like this minimum wage is contagious So outrageous, my age is on my mind Walk into work and I go blind Sippin' on that Kool-Aid, gettin' bigwig money, that's too paid Look around and see people with no class like snow on a school day Y'all can't do what I do, uh, do what I do, uh Starin' out this window like, like Erykah Badu Livin' life how I do is crazy, this shit never amaze me But I still let it faze me and I don't know why All I know is my mind racin' A million miles a minute, the second I'm in it Yeah, I be pacin', bitch I'm back again Been here since way back when Now let that shit begin, yeah [Chorus: Logic] This album two, but this song was written before the first My mind racin', I'm sick of pacin', I feel the thirst Of those around me that down me and pray on my demise But it only makes it that much better when I rise [Verse 3: Logic] This for the people that been through it and couldn't do it Had a vision but blew it, while haters screamin' "I knew it" This is real, so real The type of shit that make you feel like you gotta kill Most of these people will never hit fruition Payin' tuition when they should've just listened to intuition Now they wishin' they was switchin' up they lifestyle All alone with no one to dial I'm just a man, I got problems, understand This is all I ever wanted, yes, I do it for the fans And I ain't perfect, I've questioned if this life was even worth it 'Cause all the people care about is what lies on the surface And my purpose is to do it like it ain't never been done Always keep it real and remember where I'm from, now [Chorus: Logic] This album two, but this song was written before the first My mind racin', I'm sick of pacin', I feel the thirst Of those around me that down me and pray on my demise But it only makes it that much better when I rise
