Thank You Logic by EZRA Lyrics
[Intro]
First things first I’m sorry in advance
I know you could body this beat so much better than I can
But I mean it is what it is, I’m still working on my craft
And this is just my way of saying thank you
You changed the game and I want you to know
That as a fan I support you choosing happiness
Fuck all the negativity man. You’re a legend
I’m humbled to walk the path you help pave
I just wanna say thank you...yeah I just wanna say thank you...
So check it out...
[Verse 1]
Thank you Logic!
You poured your heart into every rhyme, song, and album
So fuck any negative outcomes
You changed the game, with every track you’ve outdone
Yourself, but I feel like I’m writing without thumbs
I need some help can’t handle it, as a fan I can’t handle it
But as a human I know you just like me
Yeah you deserve to be happy, don’t owe us a thing
You already gave us your heart and we didn’t appreciate it
How could people take ten years of love and abbreviate it?
Calling it wack or pop or whatever
Hell I struggle to name five MCs I think are better
It’s like being great is not enough
Since you’re a celebrity people wanna try to break you
Put you in mental handcuffs
Until you start to believe you really ain’t enough
But I’m here to say fuck em!
I hear your music in every song I write
You make me wanna get better
You make me wanna become a number one best seller
But it feels like critics today Helen Keller
They don’t wanna hear or see unless it promotes controversy
They wanna know who you fucking and who you hate
Waiting to pounce on any line they can take and create
Into something that was really nothing
Trust me dog I don’t think you’re bluffing
I don’t know how you lasted this long
But I know damn well your heart is strong
And I know you not perfect, hell we’ve all done wrong Misunderstood like Islam, feels small but I wanted to give you
This song, to show you my appreciation
Our idols we need to appreciate em
Cause you never know if the devil will try and take em
Now I don’t believe in a God or religion
But I know good and evil both existing
I see em everyday, and I think you do too
And still you choose to bring light to what’s beautiful
Now that’s whats beautiful
Don’t know how you’ve stayed so optimistic
I’m still young, but my chance I feel like I missed it
Every time I get in the booth it’s a mission
To be better than yesterday
Just need one more person to press play and hear
What I have to say, cause if I don’t get it out there
I think I might explode, or implode
Cheat codes I wanna download, but you can’t rush success Recognition a slow process
Didn’t write this to impress
Saw you crying on twitch and had to come to your defense
Cause I can’t even imagine
I’m just a mixed brown boy who gets called Aladdin
But I’m actually Hispanic, but that doesn’t matter
To the world I’m Arab and you’re just a white rapper
And that’s bullshit, but this ain’t a love letter man
Don’t worry I might be a Stan, but I’m not actually Stan
It’s like music sometimes makes you feel like fam
Even though we never met and probably never will
I hope it’s okay to say I was inspired by Joyner’s “Will”
I’m glad y’all put the beef aside and focused on the meal
Cause hip hop needs more rappers who know the deal
So thank you Logic!
I’m just a mixed kid but you’re the first rapper to
Tell me it’s okay to be
I dream of one day joining the Bobby Boy family, ayyyy!
Ha and that’s just me being honest
Rappers gotta believe we the hottest, not a novice
Cold and heartless, lethal rhymes for lethal times
I just need a sign, that what I’m doing here is worth it
Gotta earn it, still learning, still hurting
Life don’t come with a guide, and it feels like Superman just died
Gah damn, I’ll say it again, life don’t come with a guide
And it feels like Superman just died...
I never thought I’d see my idols cry
But that’s okay, it’s a reminder we in this together
Everyday as a community we need to do better okay?
Lift each other up instead of bringing each other down
Might be corny, but I wanna see more smiles and less frowns
Just cause you lost, don’t mean you can’t be found
Not trying to be profound
But through your music some purpose I found...yeah
[Breakdown]
Fade away (fade away)
Fade away (fade away)
They gon know (they gon know)
My name, till...it fades...
[Verse 2]
Thank you Logic!
I loved every single project, the journey was cosmic
I wanna tell my own incredible story
1-800 got me out of purgatory
And I know you don’t wanna be known as “that guy”
But that song changed me, that song gave me
A reason to wanna help others
And we all know Under Pressure was a classic
And No Pressure will be, but you know what was truly filthy?!
Bobby Tarantino! And then you hit us with the sequel!
Like gah damn! Now Supermarket the obvious target
But I beg your bullshit pardon
Artists need to experiment more often, that took balls
And “Everybody” was like walking heaven’s halls
But I need to confess, I wasn’t bumping Young Sinatra yet
Not till Four, and that’s not because I didn’t like it
I just didn’t know it, but if I knew back then what you had in store
I would’ve been like yo I knew him from before!
Now this might come as a surprise but I‘m speaking my mind Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
I felt like you were speaking from mine
That shit was incredible, beats and bars, impeccable
And that Em colab, unforgettable
Inspired me to make my album Mad Mind
So I have you to thank
I needed to tell you that before it was too late!
Cause now I can’t stop it, this real not robotic
So thank you for everything Logic
[Transition]
*NASA Moon Landing clip
[Verse 3]
We are one!
Yes we are one, son, peace love and positivity
Frees us from mental captivity, dive into a sea of tranquility
Lets shoot for the stars, cause nothing too far
One day we’ll walk on Mars, I’m just saying
Sometimes the human race amazing, but we got our issues
Throw away broken people like crumpled up tissues
Once we killed 6 million Jews, sounds like the epitome of evil
But no child born with this evil, everything is learned
So let’s build not burn, my generation said “yo it’s our turn”
We gon make a difference, come together as one
Cause we all human, there’s no difference
Trust we can overcome subjectivity
Cause what wins in the end?
Peace, love, and positivity...yeah...
[Outro]
Peace love and positivity...so long man
Enjoy retirement..
Cause I got it from here haha...ay
First things first I’m sorry in advance
