Copped that G-Wagon right there for my shawty

Let that bitch breathe
Most of these people can't never ever comprehend all the shit that I've seen
I am polite than a mothafucka, but when I grip that mic, I get mean
Come now, you know what I mean
Pepe done got the boy lean
Yeah you could doubt me, say what you want 'bout me
But I am a rappin' machine

Shit for the squad, I'm livin' the dream
Yes I am livin' the dream, hold up, wait up
Just can't believe
Just can't believe that my swag is on another level
Yeah, I keep it G
Matter of fact, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it M
Turn that shit upside down, now it's a W
No, no, ain't nobody fuckin' with him
Don't matter who come stand next to me
Once I'm surrounded ain't nobody fuckin' with them
I am the best of the best of the best
Of the best of the best of the best like Men In Black
Greatest alive, bitch, I've been that
If you don't agree, you'll get kidnapped
Bitch slapped, thrown back like woo
Yeah, get it like, get it like, get it like, get it like me, nah
Handout, palm up, you cannot get this shit here for free, nah
Bobby done put in that work, you gon' pay me a fee, nah
I said Bobby been livin' that life and you know, I said
Bitch, I've been blowin' up (bitch I've been blowin' up)
Everyone showin' up, where was you in the beginnin'?

You do not know a thing about this life that I'm livin'
You never been low enough (never been low)

In Logic's song "Contra," he expresses his frustration with people who only show up and support him when he's successful, but were nowhere to be found during his struggles. He acknowledges that people don't know the depths of the life he's living and they haven't been low enough to understand. Logic describes how he's been working hard and putting in the effort to build his empire. He talks about his money made from writing a novel, business ventures, and how good his music sounds. Logic emphasizes his success by talking about his new i8 and G-Wagon cars. He affirms that he knows he's the best and people just looking to use him in his success can't keep up with him.
The chorus repeated throughout the song is Logic saying that he's been blowing up and everyone is showing up, but no one was around in the beginning. Only when he started winning did they try to connect with him. And that they don't know enough about his experiences, leading him to question where they were when he was struggling. Throughout the song, Logic reminds his listeners that he's always been grinding from the bottom, and now he's reaping the rewards of his hard work. All in all, "Contra" is a powerful reminder that success is not always easy, and it's essential to acknowledge the people who supported you from the beginning.
