[Chorus: Lauryn Hill & Logic]

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Uh)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Hmm)

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Yeah)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Yo)

[Verse 1: Logic]

The resurrection of my whole mentality, livin' in fallacy

I'm the poet that wrote it, but hold at my neutrality

My words flow like Rome be, bullets pass through me

Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, they run to me

Homies call me B, but you know me MC (MC)

Livin' where I'm at, so that's just where I be (Where I bе)

If you see me on the corner stеp, tell me "Where the free?" (What's up, bro?)

If you see me in the street, ask for a CD (Ayy, can I cop that?)

Wisdom, I diversify with this rhythm

Bust shots quicker than an evil organism

Or a shot glass filled to the T with jism

Flow born again, like a hooker's baptism

No need to resurrect me like Christ when he's risen

'Cause I'm immortalized by these words that I'm givin'

Listen to this equation in which I'm spittin'

I'm the puzzle piece that the game's been missin'

Who knows what to come? 'Cause the future's unwritten

If I get shot, tomorrow, up in the street

Fuck it, 'cause I got mad songs that's deep

But if I live another day and some day after

I'ma save my people with this hip-hop rapture

Kodak flow 'cause your mind what I capture

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill & Logic]

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Woah)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Woah)

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Yeah)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Yeah, yeah, ayy)

[Verse 2: Logic]

Well, I learned a lot of things since I wrote that first verse

First things first, I came to check the game, got reimbursed

Now the things change every other verse, another curse

It's kinda funny listenin' to the younger version of me

Thinks he's got it figured out, B, but, I guess we'll see

When I wrote those raps, I was broke as fuck on HOC

Now I'm jugglin' millions of dollars, listenin' to SV

From WDP with dreams of bein' on WPGC

Here I am, finally free, I'm me

My younger and my oldest self on the same track

It's like takin' a picture and then somehow rewindin' it back

Sixteen years, homie, sixteen years

Fast forward, now I'm sellin' out arenas with Wiz

Arenas alone, so leave us alone

Nowadays, all I really need's a beat on my phone

Maybe a pen and a pad when I'm really deep in the zone

A lot of shit has happened since I first started rappin'

I got a deal, made a mill', thirty somethin'

I'm over the hill, it's gettin' real, but, I still

I do it 'cause I love it, always have, always will

That's a dead giveaway like my family's will

Murdered the beat like Amityville, damn it, he will

Keep it real, all the time, killin' a rhyme, let me shine

It's only a matter of time before I find the next thing

No such thing as resting, I'm the king, here to shine like bling

When it comes to Logic, you really never know what you're gonna get

I'm off to the next one, when I write a rhyme, I remember none of it

But I'm done now, gonna run a mile, then see my wife and my son a bit

What's up, yeah?

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill & Logic]

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Uh)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Woah)

Wisdom is better than silver and gold (Woah)

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road (Woah)
