Hey-oh, hey, that hey-oh, hey-oh, hey
Hey-oh, hey-oh (let's go)
Hey-oh (alright)
Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey (alright, lets go)
Hey-oh, hey-oh (let's go)
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
Tell me what you know about forty days, forty nights
No lights, all for this
Tell me what you know about sleeping outside, no ride in the wintertime all for this
Tell me what you know about commas in the bank
Lookin' in the mirror, yeah, I did all of this
Tell me what you know about family never there but swear they deserve all of this
Tell me what you know about people tryna test you
Don't wanna get involved with this
X you out, you get solved with this
Never, but I gotta evolve with this
Like bitch I bet I be at the place I said I'd be
Legendary like No I.D
You know I be duckin' every ho I see
'Cause I'm out of this world, and I know I be like
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
Oh my, my, I know why I can't fall for this
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
Living as a black man, in the skin of the white man
Everybody wanna fight man, and I put it on my right hand
Goddamn, it's all for this
I just wanna make the world a better place
Fuck race and the shade in my face
Looking for the sun but the shade in my face
Best in my field, I'm a slave to the race
Black motherfucker, white motherfucker
I don't give a damn what you is, can you write motherfucker?
Said I couldn't do it, said I wouldn't do it
I just made a million in a month, aight motherfucker?
I did everything I said I'd ever do and to you I still ain't shit?
Alright motherfucker
Runnin' around the world yelling P-L-P
But as a last resort, we gon' fight motherfucker like
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
Oh my, my, I know why I can't fall for this
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
In Logic's song "Slave," the rapper opens with the chorus, repeating the phrase "hey-oh" several times before delving into his verses. His delivery is charged and dramatic, and he utilizes repetition to underscore the songβs powerful message. In the first verse, Logic raps about his commitment to his craft, alluding to the sacrifices he's had to make, the struggles heβs had to overcome, and the doubt he had to shake off. He poses a series of questions, asking listeners if they know what it's like to work tirelessly without any recognition, or whether they're familiar with the challenges that come with being an artist in a world that often looks down on or ignores underground talent. The lines "like bitch I bet I be at the place I said I'd be, Legendary like No I.D" suggest that Logic is determined to make it and achieve the sort of success that few artists ever attain.
The second verse is where Logic gets more explicit about racial issues, rapping "Living as a black man, in the skin of the white man, Everybody wanna fight man, and I put it on my right hand." Here, Logic seems to be highlighting the sense of isolation that comes with being a black artist in a predominantly white industry. Heβs faced racism, doubts, and hostility from people who don't believe in him, but he refuses to let their negativity keep him down. He affirms his commitment to social justice, and expresses a heartfelt desire to make the world a better place by fighting against racism and bigotry. The song concludes with the chorus again, reminding the listener of the central message of the track.
