caterpillar (logic version cover)

Yeah, sold a quarter million records in my first week

And BET still don't wanna let me perform

Maybe it's 'cause my pigment, maybe I'm being ignant

Maybe it's all a figment of my imagination

And exaggeration exacerbates that I'm the illest, yes

How many are willing to kill us?

We the realest, that's why they feel us the best

But I don't give a fuck about this rap shit, not really though

Shittin' on a brother I should love, man, that's silly, yo

Fuck all this division and lyrical incision

It's time to unify cause hip-hop is beautiful, it's you and I

And it doesn't discriminate if you black or white

And you Christian or Muslim

It just love 'em and put nothin' above 'em

I just want to be remembered as a good person

Dispersin' a message of hope while the world worsen

And the media will still find a way

To turn us into clickbait and misquote

Wanna keep the peace, but if you do that

I'ma slit throats, sike, nah

"Logic's such a hypocrite", you can take a hike, nah

Right now, I'm here to talk about suicide and depression

Anxiety, mental health and all that other shit

You scared to mention

Yeah, I could talk about the millions I've amassed

But now just ain't the time or place

It's crazy how everyone so obsessed with my race

Cause I'm proud to be black, but matter fact

If it was flipped around and every time somebody asked me

What it was like to be a white rapper

"What's it like to be a white rapper, Logic?"

Oh and I was just like, just never talked about it like

"Man, it's just so great being a white rapper

White, white, white, white everything

White man—being white's so great—wow it's so great"

And then some brother was like, "Ayy, ain't yo daddy black?!"

And I was like "Oh shit!"

And the whole world be like "What, are you scared to be black?

Are you ashamed to be black?! Motherfucker, fuck you!

Fuck you, you piece of shit, mixed, biracial, fucking cunt"

(That's how they be)

Cole said fuck all this black and white, it's time to unite

Be who you are, identify as a star

Fuck all the jewelry and money inside of yo car

You still just a person and I'm still dispersin' these lyrics

Fuck the rap ego shit, just be a good person now that's the spirit

Shoutout to true emcees that love the culture

From Duckworth to Chano, Jermaine and Joey

And Aubrey and can't forget Bobby

To every emcee who knows that this is truly a way of life

And not just a hobby, uh, not just a hobby, uh

Not just a hobby, this is a way of life

Shout out to Bobby, the L-O-G-I-C, this shit a way of life

This shit a way of life, yeah
