STATE OF EMERGENCY
Logic Lyrics

Okay, I think these niggas is tryin' me
I feel like these guys are testing my patience

The irony, I used to iron jeans that had the heavy crease
It's ironic that I used to work hard to put creases in jeans, and now that I'm rich and famous, I probably wouldn't be caught dead in creased jeans

You know my destiny is somewhere over the catastrophe
I believe that my future success is beyond any potential disaster or obstacle

You know your majesty
You know who I am, I'm a king in this game

You don't smoke strong, that's muscle atrophy
If you don't smoke strong weed, you're not building your muscles up

That's such a tragedy
That's really sad

I see murder like it's Master P
I have a powerful vision and hunger for success, much like Master P did in his career

Drug dealin' academy, summa cum laude
I'm so good at drug dealing, I'd get a top honor degree

I made A's, rarely made a B
I was a top student, always getting A's and almost never getting B's

Watch in 1080P, cost 80 apiece
You need to watch me in the highest quality video possible, which costs a lot of money

I need 80G, flows is ADD (tell 'em)
I need 80 grand, my rapping is all over the place and it stands out

It was me versus the APD (APD)
I was up against the Atlanta Police Department

'Cause they know I'm ballin' hard like the ACC (swish)
They know I'm playing (or living) on a high level, like the Atlantic Coast Conference in college basketball

I ride this beat like an ATV
I'm riding this instrumental like I ride an all-terrain vehicle

To see me you need HDTV
To get the complete picture of me, you need high-definition TV

Bein' broke is like a allergy
Being broke is a nasty condition I'm allergic to

Everybody know me now
I'm famous and well-known on a broad scale

But they don't really know me now
But there's always more to me than people realize

Haters talk shit, but deep down still wonder what it feel like
Despite their hate and criticism, people wish they could experience what it's like to be me

Yeah, you know I am right
And you know that I'm correct in stating this fact

I just signed a 30 million dollar deal
I recently agreed to a huge contract worth 30 million dollars

How that feel? Goddamn right
And it feels incredible, damn right

No, that ain't a rapper flex
I'm not bragging like other rappers do

I just gotta let 'em know that money don't mean shit without self-respect
I have to let people understand that money isn't everything, and self-respect is what really matters

Built myself an empire
I've worked hard to create and establish a large, powerful organization (or career)

You can have rap, I'ma set the whole wide world on fire
You can take the conventional approach, I'm aiming to go above and beyond and create something revolutionary

Rattpack, that's a fact
The Ratt Pack is a legitimate, respected crew that can't be denied

How you go from Bobby Tarantino to the boom bap? It's a trap
How can I take myself from one style to another so easily? It's a clever, strategic move

Bring it right back, I do it all 'cause I'm like that
I can effortlessly return and conquer any style, because I'm just that good

You can't put me in a box, my talent put me in the mansion
Don't try to pigeonhole me, it's my immense talent that got me where I am today

Rap without Logic's like the game with no expansion
Rap wouldn't be as interesting, diverse or fulfilling without my innovative perspectives and techniques

Answer, damn I'm feelin' handsome
Now give me your response or opinion, and damn, I'm feeling quite impressive and attractive right now

I ain't in the club throwin' dollars, I'm at GameStop
I'm not wasting my money in the club, I'm going to GameStop, a video game store

'Member used to sell trees on the same block
Remember, I used to sell drugs on this same street

I went platinum and double platinum then triple platinum
I released albums that went platinum three times over

From rappin', I'm snappin', I'm snappin'
From my rhyming and performing, I'm getting a lot of public attention and interest

They wonder what happened
People want to know what I'm doing to be so successful

They was hatin' now they clappin' like yeah, yeah
They used to dislike me, but now they're supporting me with enthusiasm

Bobby got the Grammy this year
I won a Grammy award this year

Call me Nostradamus, not cocky, I'm honest, well to be honest
You could call me a prophet or visionary, I'm not being arrogant, I'm just telling the truth (or being real)

I spit the finest of flows, I count cash, you count hoes
I'm an exceptional rapper with great skills, while you're busy counting the number of women you've slept with, I'm counting my profits

You'll never get, that's why your shit is counterfeit
You don't have what it takes to reach my level of success, so you're a fraud

This that Reasonable Doubt shit, Jay in his prime
This is the kind of deep, thought-provoking rap music that Jay-Z was making in his prime

This a state of emergency, now sound the alarm
This is a serious situation, things need to change now

I'm comin' for your neck but first I'ma slice off the arm
I'm coming to win, but first I'm going to take away your advantage or leverage

Of anybody who ever try to bite the hand that fed 'em
I'm going to punish anyone who tries to harm me, despite my previous support or help to them

I'm too powerful, try to double-cross me and I dead 'em
I am too strong and resourceful for anyone to cross me, and if they try, I'll end them

Kill 'em with kindness, you too weak like 7 times 2
I'll be friendly to my enemies, since they aren't strong or smart enough to beat me

So show some respect when this muscle comes through, woo
Be wary and give some respect when I come through, I'm a powerful force
