Shine On
[Chorus: Joanna Newsom]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
[Verse: Logic]
Uh, now, they lost it, I found it, we leave 'em astounded
Askin' me, "How you so fly, but you still so grounded?"
I replied, "I died inside, resurrected a beast"
Leave 'em deceased, music's in my genes like a crease
Got it, capisce? Hungry as hell, tryna eat now
Success is the only thing that can complete us
Grindin' to free us, the beat knockin' like a fetus
Close your eyes, open up your ears so you can see this (Logic)
Now I've accepted I'm not from the hood
'Cause sellin' crack and bustin' gats don't make my raps good
See, this is me, L-O-G-I-C, reppin' MD to the fullest
Push us to the limit, but never pull us now
I can't wait 'til I see my name in neon
That fly shit I be on, flowin' for eons
Every day I take chances, Celine Dion
Said every day I take chances, Celine Dion, let's get it
I'm a diamond in the rough, but I shine like disco
Surrounded by greasy people like I doused them in Crisco
I haven't shined yet, so tell me where does the rest go?
Up a million percent until they finally hear this though
Bumpin' up in they city like, "Oh my God, this go"
My business gettin' better every year like fiscal
Fuck the pad and the pen, the mic my only utensil
I'm a original, see, but they trace like stencil
A stain in the game, but you fade like pencil
Bitin' off of my rhymes, that ain't even an insult
'Cause you couldn't produce, and in the end, that's just your fault
It takes three millions years for a diamond to shine
I did it in twenty-one, see, I'm ahead of my time
'Cause when I flow, the crowd never roll 'cause I rock
On the road to success, haters in my blind spot
'Cause I got no time to bullshit
[Chorus: Joanna Newsom]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
