[Intro: Logic & Big Lenbo]

Y’all

Ayo fuck you!

Y’all

Bitch

I just wanna get the fuck up out of this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, aight

Yeah, Yeah (Y’all), Ay


[Chorus: Logic]

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t face ‘em all

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t facе ‘em all


[Verse 1: Logic]

I got one life to livе, no fucks to give

Ready to relive but never forgive any of these fuckboys

Livin' in the past, you stuck boy

In ​a planetary destruction, grew up on dysfunction

Heavy drugs and consumption, it's gotta mean somethin'

I'm pothetic I'm just a rapper not poetic

That's how the public had said it, I'm nothin' and I'll never be less debted

The possibility of making it, I fuckin' dread it

'Cause what if I just can't deliver?

I'd rather drown my liver in a river of rum, 'cause livin' is dumb

Where the fuck do these thoughts come from?

My chest weighs a ton, my palms sweaty, no mom's spaghetti

I never been more ready to blow my brains

Cut it up like cocaine, sniff it and stick it to the back of my skull again

Morphine for the pain, I been a fiend for the game

It's nothing to gain, I'd rather abstain

Can't fuckin' explain my feelings or the shit that I'm dealin' with

I’m feeling manic, I’m full of panic, I’m fucked up

Back and forth with a pace, and my mind racing

A million miles a minute, I’m in it and I can’t get the fuck out

Stuck in the basement, trying to find my placement in the world y’all

I hope you really hear my words, y’all


[Chorus: Logic]

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t face ‘em all

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t face ‘em all

[Verse 2: Big Lenbo, Logic]

Yo, yo

Working through a process

Focus on the content defined by the rawness, designed for the offense

Calais where the hearts kept, malice where the thoughts went

Warfare the meanest, 40 cal’ the cleanest

You ain't timeless, we all living with a stopwatch

Spend our time working and grinding to get the top notch

Sipping straight scotch, massage my mental state

Thinking that our times got too much on my plate

Just going through the motions like humans often do

Mulling over situations in my room with a view

Can’t chill, got too much going on

In the same fucking breath, where has the time gone?

Live the type of life most people can’t contemplate

Now my forty years feel more like sixty-eight

Got the weight and the pressure weighing down on my soul

Losing all my focus when depression take a hold (These the times that make us)

Think about the shit that we doing (These the times that make us)

Think about that life that we pursuing (These the times that make us)

Think about the world that we living in

Revolving ‘round the dividends


[Chorus: Logic]

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t face ‘em all

I just wanna get the fuck up outta this basement, dawg

Feel like my whole life I’ve just been living complacent, dawg

Look at my competitors, you know I’ll erase ‘em all

Looking at my demons, but I just can’t face ‘em all
