[Intro: sample of Gil Scott-Heron]
You will not be able to stay home, brotha
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised

[King Green]
This right here for the number one
Number one shit with your number one
You ain't number one, just another one
Now e'rybody sayin that they number one

[Interlude: Royce singing]
Ring the alarm
The caterpillar keeps firing, ohhh
We in the war
Where butterflies keep dyin, ahhh

[Royce Da 5'9"]
I'm a product of Parker Lewis and Kubiak
If I didn't do this, where in the fuck would you be at?
See there's a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas
You a drip from my penis, I eat lions and sip hyenas
You number one when it come to slaughtered mics
I'm tryna be number one in my son and daughter life
Uhh, all you niggaz my little rapper babies
Y'all my children, y'all bit my shit and contracted rabies
Don't you grade me next to these rappers baby, that's degrading
My style got so many different facets
I switch into so many different passions, I'm skippin class to be fascinating
My pen is like Big Ben, this shit just a classic waiting
Your favorite rapper come at me, I'll just decapitate him
Out here congratulatin these has-beens who had they highs
These rappers only won they matches because they strategize
I'll bring Attica to these patterns and here's my battle cry

[Interlude: Royce singing]
Ring the alarm
The caterpillar is firing, ohhh
We in a war
Where butterflies keep dying, ahhh (hey)

[Chorus: King Green]
This right here for the number one
Number one shit with your number one
You ain't number one, just another one
Now e'rybody sayin that they number one
Kid think your number won't quit
Number one song, get your number one chick
Number one fly with your number one kick
When it's all done then your number gon' switch

[Royce Da 5'9"]
Hold up, wait a minute
Guess what I'ma never do? Show so much respect to you
That I feel like we're friends so now we no longer competitors
That could be the death of you
Never let someone who's not as smart as you, gas you up and tell you somethin you never knew
Always stay professional, you always gon' make revenue
Don't let people next to you, that don't want the best for you
It's completely normal to hold onto a regret or two
I do what I wanna do, they do what I let them do
Everything these niggaz be sayin is a fuckin lie
It's nothin I can say to you that is realer
Remember when you praisin the butterfly
Don't you ever disrespect the fuckin caterpillar

[Chorus]

[Logic]
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 bein ig'nant
Maybe it's all a figment of my imagination
And exaggeration exacerbates that I'm the illest, yes
How many are willin 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 wanna be remembered as a good person
dispersin a message of hope while the world worsen
And the media will still try to 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 now
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 it just ain't the time or place
It's crazy how everybody's 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

[Interlude: Logic]
"What's it like to be a white rapper, Logic?"
Oh and I was just like never talked about it
And I was 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 then 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, fuckin cunt!"
That's how they be

[Logic]
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 MC's that love the culture
From Duckworth to Chano, Jermaine and Joey and Aubrey and can't forget Bobby
To every MC who knows that this is truly a way of life and not just a hobby
Uhh, not just a hobby, uh
Not just a hobby, this 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
