Shine On - Intellectual

[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

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

We should shine a light on, a light on

And the book of right-on's right on, it was right on
