[Intro: Logic]

My message, which is peace, love and positivity in my music

And that I stay grounded and that I am who I am and I don’t pretend to be anything else

Be good, be kind-hearted, do your best to help others, follow your dreams, do whatever it takes

And don’t tell yourself you can’t because if you tell yourself you can’t, you’ve already been defeated before you’ve started


[Verse 1: Progress]

I never shed a single tear ‘till I was 18

Caught up in the frenzy, caught up in the lucid dreams

Caught up in my head, caught up in the make-believe

Caught up in myself, looking for reality

Yeah, and I could try to make excuses

Looking for the reasons that I do it for the music

Looking for the passion, asking, “Why do I do it?”

Find a reaction in my heart working through it

Uh, take inspiration from the greatest

So when I meet ‘em, they can tell me that I made it

As for the hating, there will be zero debating

Eyes on the prize, tryna’ break my concentration

But they can’t phase me, like a Jedi in the zone (I’m in the zone)

Meditating tryna’ tune into the tone (into the tone)

On the radio, the frequency is gone (you see it’s gone)

I’ll bring it back like it’s a soldier coming home (I’m coming home)

And fine-tune it so they never know it’s lost (they know it’s lost)

A price tag doesn’t really tell the cost (don’t tell the cost)

And authority does not make you the boss (you ain’t the boss)

How many disses does it take to get across?

I’m sick of hearing all the drama and the hate

Lying media just tryna’ fuel the flame

They feed off the publicity like parasites inside us

And turn around and tell us lies infected with the virus

So it spreads, like a wildfire

Don’t get it twisted in all the barbed wire

Don’t tell me twice because I heard it all the first time

The first line, the first rhyme, the worst time

You know that first line about the time I cried?

That was the last time I focused on the downside

This is my sermon, you heard it, I will testify

Look into the music and lose it as I will clarify


[Hook: The Weeknd]

Sidewalks saved my life

They don't ever lie

Sidewalks saved my life

They showed me all the signs


[Post-Hook: Daniel Wilson]

They don't let me down

But they lead me on

And they don't let me down

But they lead me on

And they lead me on
