In Retrospect

Lyrics

[Intro: Logic] What? [Chorus: Logic & T Man The Wizard] Here we are, money on my mind (Now) Here we are, place most never find (Now) Here we are, I'm not coming down (Now) Here we are, a lifetime from the ground (Now) Here we are, money on my mind How much do it cost to keep it real with you? Here we are, place most never find How much do it cost to be a real nigga? Here we are, I'm not coming down Open your eyes and see the real picture Here we are, a lifetime from the ground How much do it cost to keep it real? [Verse: Logic] It's goin' down like that Maybach, I'm livin' it up like I never could in the days way back Write it, record it Let the people absorb it I'm morbid and want more of it On the 101, floorin' it The definition of a shmiracle rapper It's been a decade, it's a miracle I'm still a rapper (Now) Yeah, you the furthest from innovative No wonder the people hate it In the back of the Mercedes, gettin' faded When it comes to the flow, you know I confiscate it, then made it better I pull strings like the guitarist in Greta Van Fleet My camp meet at the pinnacle like Everest like Mike Posner Far from a poser My flows are crazy, I thought I told you Better hold your money tight 'fore I snatch that shit Roll it, light it up, and then pass that shit People got problems, but use substances to mask that shit We past that shit You better seek therapy, human What the fuck is we doing? Killin' one another for nothin' Man, most of these people is bluffin' Actin' like they got the world in they hand, but really got nothin' Why you think they Twitter fingers be achin'? 'Cause they forsaken what it means to be a person And worsen they mental daily by involvin' themselves in extracurricular activities I am the blackest white boy that you've ever seen Nigga, please It's apparent my skin is transparent Only color I ever really gave a fuck about was green Only people I fuck with is my family, friends, and my team Twenty albums in under a decade, bitch, I'm a machine Talkin' 'bout you don't like Logic, bitch, what the fuck do you mean? Why you listenin' to me then? Why you watchin' on your screen? 'Cause I'm all you have in the world at this moment And the fact that I'm winnin' and you ain't winnin' hurts, don't it? You see, I know you're not a hater, not really, not deep down You just got a lot goin' on that you keep deep underground Maybe you was molested, even beaten as a child And when you see other people this happy, it drives you wild How did I know this? How do I know this? 'Cause I myself was beaten and molested God drug me through the fire everyday, I was tested 'Cause really when you look at me, what you see is a mirror That reflects who you wish you really was, but even clearer And makes you uncomfortable that I'm comfortable with who I am That's the reason that you hate and the reason that you Stan The reason you obsess, you're my biggest fan So my advice is seek therapy and find clarity I know you hate me, but I love you with sincerity [Chorus: Logic & T Man the Wizard] Here we are, money on my mind How much do it cost to keep it real with you? Here we are, a place most never find How much do it cost to be a real nigga? Here we are, I'm not coming down Open your eyes and see the real picture Here we are, a lifetime from the ground How much do it cost to keep it real? Here we are, money on my mind How much do it cost to keep it real with you? Here we are, a place most never find How much do it cost to be a real nigga? Here we are, I'm not coming down Open your eyes and see the real picture Here we are, a lifetime from the ground How much do it cost to keep it real? [Outro: Thomas & Kai] Thank God for synthetic gravity and ribeye that never came from a cow I still don't understand how we grow meat without livestock The marvels of AI, my friend But wasn't it also because of AI that every country in the entire world deployed nukes as an auto defense against Russia's initial attack on the New Americas? Mmm, I mean, but the steak though Ugh, so good
