Logic - 44 Bars (Official Audio)

[00:00.64] If you're dealing war, backwards stay far

[00:02.14] We're dealing with truths and rights

[00:08.14] Come some more into my sight

[00:17.39] Yeah, in London talkin' to Rhetorik 'bout my life and shit

[00:41.38] I thought the album was finished but I keep writing shit

[00:43.89] It's kind of funny how life changed and rearranged

[00:46.64] No matter what happens, everything ain't gon' be the same

[00:49.14] The incredible album, what an incredible outcome

[00:51.63] I grip the mic and then talk to the people like I'm Malcolm

[00:54.40] I used to think the fame and money was the motivation

[00:56.64] Until I toured the world and met the people face to face and

[00:59.13] Understood that the power was harnessed in that basement

[01:01.89] It ain't about the money and notoriety

[01:04.38] It's about the people and making a difference in society

[01:06.64] But don't get it twisted, this life I'm living is like a movie

[01:09.38] The Godfather, the Goodfella wielding an Uzi

[01:12.16] One with the people, if the people is wondering who's he?

[01:14.89] Same level, the same rebel that never settled

[01:16.63] Pullin' strings like Geppeto who overcame the ghetto

[01:19.64] And I know you wrote me and I still ain't answered

[01:22.14] Cause shit is different now, it's forced upon me

[01:24.64] Different stances

[01:25.38] I used to spend all my time conversing with you

[01:27.39] But now I write this song to let you know I'm hurting with you

[01:29.40] Shit is too big, but let's be honest man,

[01:30.89] It's kinda bittersweet, besides the shows and meet and greets y'all only see me on the street

[01:34.63] And even then, that shit is rare-I just don't go outside

[01:37.14] Cause honestly I don't fuck with this world, I'd rather hide

[01:40.13] That misconception, "Cause I rap, I must be filled with pride"

[01:42.64] Shit I ain't perfect, if you heard different then someone lied

[01:45.13] People in my ear telling me, "Talk that shit"

[01:47.63] Actions speak louder than words, I'd rather walk that shit

[01:49.64] Since the first album

[01:51.14] I'm one of the highest earners on the label

[01:52.38] Within six months I put the second one on the table

[01:55.14] I've played sold out shows in parts of the world I can't pronounce

[01:57.65] Release the tickets, watch them disappear when we announce

[02:00.89] Fuck all that murderous syllable shit right now

[02:02.89] Just let me bounce

[02:03.40] The mood around me is people smokin' that by the ounce

[02:05.63] Leave Friday for the show and come back Monday with a hundred grand

[02:08.39] Don't fuck with checks so when I bounce I prefer cash in hand

[02:12.89] You know my first week looking crazy due to high demand

[02:13.64] Cause people don't buy music in this day and age

[02:15.63] They buy the brand

[02:16.89] There's ups and downs, don't get me wrong

[02:17.89] But back when I ain't have shit

[02:18.63] Felt like I would've sold my soul to make it with this rap shit

[02:20.89] Thank God he never let Lucifer close enough to ask

[02:23.38] Let me attain it by workin' hard and busting my ass

[02:25.89] Achieved a lot in life, but what's a lot with more to gain?

[02:28.39] At least I don't drink to avoid the hurt, we call that Champagne

[02:33.39] Come some more into my sight...
