Heard Em Say
Logic Lyrics

I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
I encountered a young person who appeared unhappy and lacked a smile on their face

"Where is my place in this bright future?" I heard him say
They expressed their concerns about finding their purpose and fitting into a promising future

Say I ain't good enough, they say I ain't hood enough
People claim that I lack talent and street credibility

Even if I signed to Yeezy, I wouldn't be good enough
Even if I achieved success by signing with Kanye West's label, it still wouldn't be sufficient in the eyes of others

Killin' myself to make a killin'
I'm working tirelessly and sacrificing my well-being to achieve financial success

Fuck the bullshit, I'ma just write what I'm feelin'
Disregarding the negativity and expectations, I will create music that truly reflects my emotions

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not
I prefer facing criticism for being genuine rather than receiving acceptance for pretending to be someone I'm not

Give a fuck if it's hot (fuck if it's hot)
I don't care if my music follows the trends or is considered popular

That boy different, don't fuck with him
He's unique and not easily understood, so people tend to avoid him

But I'd rather stand out than stand in
I'd prefer to be distinctive and stand apart from the crowd rather than blending in

Let the story begin (turn the mic down)
Allow the narrative to commence (lower the volume on the microphone)

Look in the mirror and what I tell 'em?
When I look at myself in the mirror, what do I say to myself?

Reflectin' on my life, I'm Keanu in Parabellum
Contemplating the events and experiences in my life, much like Keanu Reeves' character in the film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

Came a long way from where you was
I've made significant progress from where I used to be

Up-and-comer with a buzz, overcame sellin' drugs
I was once an emerging artist with a growing reputation, and I managed to overcome involvement in drug dealing

Overcame depression, even overcame addiction
I successfully battled and overcame both depression and addiction

And had the courage to say what others wouldn't with conviction
I possessed the bravery to express ideas and beliefs that others hesitated to voice, and I did so with unwavering certainty

Always in the kitchen, never mind who be bitchin' (mind who be bitchin')
I am focused on my work and creativity, disregarding those who complain or criticize

Never mind who be bitchin'
Disregard those who complain or whine

This is for the person in the back who always gon' listen
This is dedicated to the individual who consistently pays attention, even from afar

Fuck a punchline, this is food for thought like the lunch line
This is not about clever wordplay, but rather providing substantial content and ideas, much like the thoughtful choices at a lunch line

We all got problems, the question is, can you solve 'em?
Everyone faces difficulties, but the real challenge lies in finding solutions

Had the courage to face all of 'em and resolve 'em
I had the bravery to confront and resolve all of my problems

Shit, I know you can 'cause I did
I am confident that you can overcome your troubles because I have successfully done so myself

No matter what the fuck you goin' through, I'ma keep it a hunnid
Regardless of the difficulties you're experiencing, I'll always be honest and genuine

Baby mama trippin'? I know, I've been there
If your child's mother is causing problems, I understand because I've been in that situation

Boss caught you slippin'? I know, I've been there
If your employer has caught you making a mistake, I can relate because I've faced similar circumstances

Somebody beefin' with you? Man, that shit ain't rare
If someone is having a conflict with you, trust me, it's not uncommon

Just keep it pushin'
Simply persist and continue moving forward

I've been battlin' with my demons
I have been struggling against my personal demons

I'm coward, that's when I see 'em
I feel weak and afraid when confronted by my demons

I'm powerless, I can't beat 'em
I feel helpless and incapable of overcoming these demons

But deep down, I feel like I need 'em
However, deep inside, I sense a strange attachment and dependency on these demons

Power is freedom, you can lead 'em but can't feed 'em
Having control over these demons gives a sense of liberation, but attempting to indulge or give in to them would be detrimental

Smilin' on my face but I'm dyin' under the surface
While I may appear happy and content, inwardly, I'm struggling and experiencing significant pain

What is my purpose? I'm feelin' worthless
I question the meaning of my existence and often feel insignificant

Tell me what worth is
Explain the meaning and value of worth

My flaws, I happily greet 'em
I openly acknowledge and accept my imperfections

Imperfections, I love 'em
I have a genuine affection for my flaws

My enemies, I defeat 'em
I am victorious over those who oppose or antagonize me

Man, I know somebody gon' relate to this
I'm fully aware that there are individuals who will find personal connections in this message

To keeping it real, it's insane, you better pray for this
Choosing to be authentic and genuine is considered unusual, so you should hope for support in such endeavors

'Cause I wanted this shit all my life
Because I desired this accomplishment my entire life

'Til I finally got it and realized there's so much more to life
But upon achieving it, I noticed that there are many other aspects and facets to existence

Used to dream I'd become the fuckin' man I am
I used to envision becoming the successful person I am today

Stackin' money and readin' my son Sam I Am
Earning wealth and spending quality time with my son, reading him the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss

Love life, can't tell you how much a fan I am
I truly appreciate life and cannot express enough how much of a fan I am of it

This is grown folk music if you did not know
In case you were unaware, this is mature, adult-oriented music

Thirty somethin', I ain't rappin' 'bout no dumb shit, ho
As someone in their thirties, I'm not rhyming about foolish or frivolous matters

Keep it real, Bobby boy ain't no kid no more
Let's be honest, Logic, also known as Bobby, is no longer a child

Now if you feelin' how I'm feelin', let a motherfucker know
If you relate to and share the same emotions I'm experiencing, make it known to others

This concludes the No Pressure program
The No Pressure program has come to an end

No Pressure- Ultra 85, welcome to the Ultra 85 program
No Pressure transitions to Ultra 85, and I welcome you to the Ultra 85 program
