Growing Pains
Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the police they rushin'
Go to my head like concussion
I'd rather not have this discussion
My mind racing for the elevation of the toxic in my blood
Where my mind, don't know now
But I know where it was
I need Nikki, where is Nikki
Now I'm old and shit is trippy, but I know that god is with me
This that baby mama drama
Give a fuck about a man I know Imma
Be there for my son, talking with my sister it begun
End of the month, that's the worst of the month
But the first of the month put the weed in the blunt
That welfare check, check, won't ever bounce like my daddy did
But I'm glad he did cause it made me strong
Made me help somebody with this song
Paint the picture of my life
Growing up what it was like
Section 8, grab a plate
Food for thought, gravitate
Food stamps, social services tryna take me away
My mama locked up, I pray to god that I see her today
Maybe not, maybe so, West Deer Park that's all I know
Just me and my homies, people that know me
Only ones that know
Around my way, living day by day
Corn rows and hang time, automatics and gang signs
Five-O with them K-9's
Manhunt when it's game time
They was robbing the ice cream man in broad day
Now I'm running from the police, don't know how but I got away
Selling weed to my homies, and a girl in the building that know me
At 15, such a fiend, for the shit, that I seen
All my homies smoking green, fucking bitches, sipping lean
It was king, it was cool, seemed like something I should do
Such a youngin, such a fool
Now I'm breaking into school
Cause my homie told me to
What to do, what would you
When will I lose my anonymity and become one with the enemy?
Tell me would I be the enemy, feel like nobody in front of me
I can feel the vibe
Bobby what are you thinking?
What are you dreaming about?
Bobby, what's inside?
What are you thinking right now?
What are you thinking?
Go to sleep
I guess that I was just thinking things would be different now
Cause when I wake up my dreams fade
Everything cascade
In this vanilla sky, I feel like David Aames
Why must I open my eyes
I wish that I could stay asleep forever
Attain every goal I wanted and watch it repeat forever
Will it happen, maybe never
Maybe so, I got to know
But tell me why
I picture myself at the top but I know that I'm dreaming
Will I wake up before I finally confront all my demons
Maybe not
All I know is this life I live I can't live it no longer
Wish I was stronger, wish that I could survive
Turn on the TV let it wash my brain
Pretend that family's my family to avoid the pain
Hello children, how was school?
It was good, how bout you?
I love you (I love you son)
I love mama too
Are you ready for dinner? I'm able to set the table
Till I snap out the fable when that TV turn off and I realize I'm back in hell
The lyrics of Logic's song Growing Pains II tells the narrative of his struggles with growing up in a society marked by poverty, drugs, and police harassment. Logic's aim is to paint a vivid picture of his life so that his fans can understand what he has gone through. He discusses how he got used to life in "Section 8," a form of government-subsidized housing for low-income families. As a young teenager, he was already into drugs, guns, and gang-related activities. He knew nothing but to hustle and the only reliable companions were his homies. Living was rough as they had to run from the police and a manhunt was always about to happen. Logic is also dealing with the absence of his father from his life, the imprisonment of his mother, and his responsibility towards his son.
The lines "Bobby what are you thinking? What are you dreaming about?" and "I guess I was just thinking things would be different now" suggest the anxiety that Logic feels every day as he tries to make it in life. He dreams of being successful, of being able to provide for his family and live a good life, but it feels like a distant dream. He knows that he needs to keep working hard, but it's still hard to keep the faith. Overall, the song's lyrics are raw and emotional, making it one of his most personal and powerful works.
Line by Line Meaning
Outside I can hear 'em bussin', bussin'
I can hear the commotion outside
And the police they rushin'
The police are quickly responding to the situation
Go to my head like concussion
The chaos is overwhelming and causing confusion
I'd rather not have this discussion
I do not want to talk about this problem
My mind racing for the elevation of the toxic in my blood
I am struggling with substance abuse and my mind is consumed with it
Where my mind, don't know now
I do not know where my mind is taking me
But I know where it was
I remember where I used to be
I need Nikki, where is Nikki
I need my friend to help me
Baby girl please come and get me
I am asking for help to escape this situation
Now I'm old and shit is trippy, but I know that god is with me
I am older now and my life is strange, but I believe in God
This that baby mama drama
I am dealing with problems related to my child's mother
Give a fuck about a man I know Imma
I do not care about any other man, I am focused on taking care of my son
Be there for my son, talking with my sister it begun
I am discussing my responsibilities as a father with my sister
End of the month, that's the worst of the month
The end of the month is difficult financially
But the first of the month put the weed in the blunt
When money comes in at the beginning of the month, I use it to buy weed
That welfare check, check, won't ever bounce like my daddy did
I rely on welfare, which is more reliable than my absent father
But I'm glad he did cause it made me strong
My difficult childhood with an absent father helped me develop strength
Made me help somebody with this song
I am using my struggles to help others through music
Paint the picture of my life
I am sharing the details of my life through music
Growing up what it was like
I am describing what it was like to grow up in my environment
Section 8, grab a plate
I grew up in low-income housing and had to rely on assistance for meals
Food for thought, gravitate
I share my experiences as a way to inspire others
Food stamps, social services tryna take me away
I experienced the threat of being taken away from my family by social services
My mama locked up, I pray to god that I see her today
My mother is in jail and I hope to see her soon
Maybe not, maybe so, West Deer Park that's all I know
I am uncertain if I will see my mother, but I am from West Deer Park
Just me and my homies, people that know me
I am close with my friends who understand my situation
Only ones that know
Only my close friends truly understand what I have been through
Around my way, living day by day
I am living in a harsh environment and must take things one day at a time
Corn rows and hang time, automatics and gang signs
My environment is filled with stereotypes of gang activity and violence
Five-O with them K-9's
The police are using dogs to search for suspects
Manhunt when it's game time
Police are running a manhunt during a time when there is a lot of gang activity
They was robbing the ice cream man in broad day
There was a robbery in broad daylight
Now I'm running from the police, don't know how but I got away
I am running from the police and do not know how I escaped
Selling weed to my homies, and a girl in the building that know me
I am selling drugs to my friends and someone who lives in my building
At 15, such a fiend, for the shit, that I seen
At 15, I was addicted to drugs and the violence I witnessed
All my homies smoking green, fucking bitches, sipping lean
My friends are also using drugs and engaging in risky behavior with girls
It was king, it was cool, seemed like something I should do
Using drugs and engaging in risky behavior seemed like the thing to do in my environment
Such a youngin, such a fool
I was young and foolish for getting involved in drugs and risky behavior
Now I'm breaking into school
I am involved in criminal activity, such as breaking into schools
Cause my homie told me to
I am following the influence of my friends
What to do, what would you
I am questioning what the right thing to do is
When will I lose my anonymity and become one with the enemy?
When will I be seen as the enemy by those around me?
Tell me would I be the enemy, feel like nobody in front of me
I feel like no one is on my side and I wonder if others see me as the enemy
I can feel the vibe
I am aware of the negative energy around me
Bobby what are you thinking?
Someone is asking me what I am thinking
What are you dreaming about?
They are asking about my dreams
Bobby, what's inside?
They want to know what is inside of me
What are you thinking right now?
They want to know my current thoughts
Go to sleep
They suggest that I go to sleep
I guess that I was just thinking things would be different now
I thought my life would be different by now
Cause when I wake up my dreams fade
When I wake up, my dreams do not seem possible
Everything cascade
Everything seems to fall apart
In this vanilla sky, I feel like David Aames
I feel like I am living in a dream world, like in the movie Vanilla Sky
Why must I open my eyes
Why must I face reality?
I wish that I could stay asleep forever
I do not want to face reality
Attain every goal I wanted and watch it repeat forever
I wish I could achieve all of my goals and live in a perfect world forever
Will it happen, maybe never
It may never happen
Maybe so, I got to know
But I still have hope
But tell me why
I want to know why things do not work out
I picture myself at the top but I know that I'm dreaming
I imagine myself achieving great things, but it seems like a dream
Will I wake up before I finally confront all my demons
Will I face my problems before it is too late?
Maybe not
It may not happen
All I know is this life I live I can't live it no longer
I cannot continue living my life the way it is
Wish I was stronger, wish that I could survive
I wish I was stronger and able to overcome my problems
Turn on the TV let it wash my brain
I use TV to escape reality
Pretend that family's my family to avoid the pain
I pretend on TV that strangers are my family to avoid feeling alone
Hello children, how was school?
The TV show's characters are asking how school was
It was good, how bout you?
The children in the TV show are asking how the characters are doing
I love you (I love you son)
The characters on TV express love for each other
I love mama too
I pretend to have a loving family on TV
Are you ready for dinner? I'm able to set the table
The characters on TV are preparing for dinner
Till I snap out the fable when that TV turn off and I realize I'm back in hell
I forget my problems while watching TV, but when it turns off, I remember my reality and feel trapped
