Artist: Logic f/ J. Cole, Neil deGrasse Tyson Album: Everybody Song: AfricAryaN Typed by: AZ Lyrics [Logic] I feel the Aryan in my blood, it's scarier than a Blood Been looking for holy water, now I'm praying for a flood It feel like time passing me by slower than a slug While this feeling inside of my body seep in like a drug Will you hug me, rub me on the back like a child? Tell me you love me, need me Promise me you'll never leave me Even though my daddy, you know he blacker than the street With a fist to match, more solid than concrete Tell white people I'm black, feel the need to retreat Like I should be ashamed of my granddaddy Malik But my beautiful black brothers and sisters want to act like I'm adopted Go back in time to when my nigga daddy impregnated my cracker momma and stopped it Oh my Oh my, my, my, my, my Ohhh Oh my, my, my, my, my Oh my Somebody pinch me Black man screaming, trying to convince me I'm not black, So why the white man wanna lynch me? Damn, my skin fair but life's not And I be lying if I said I didn't care what whites thought Or black people said, shit Maybe it's in my head like a single mother praying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Looking around on the ground for a serpent to feed her Praying to God, wondering why her baby daddy beat her Feeling like the devil finna come and defeat her All alone in the wintertime, close to the heater Wondering what's gonna happen And how the world gonna treat her How could her momma mislead her And her daddy just leave her? Like abracadabra when that magician pull on the lever Oh my Oh my Like the white women said oh my Oh my, my, my, my, my Ohhh Oh my, my, my, my, my Oh my I don't feel right deep inside Feeling like I need to hide Everybody wonder why I get high Cause I can't fight the feeling inside Oh my, my, my Oh my, I said oh my, yeah Feeling innocent in a sense has got me feeling on the fence And all this shit is so intense Don't wanna go to this event Just wanna stay home and invent And sometimes, yeah, that let me vent I'm taking shots and drinking liquor But that shit don't make a dent in how I'm feeling And yes I'm willing to keep chilling on this shit I know there is someone out there far away Who's feeling all this shit And yes I know that when I'm low There's so much further I can go And so I look up to the sky Oh my, oh my Oh my Oh my, my, my, my, my Ohhh Oh my, my, my, my, my Oh I feel the Aryan in my blood, it's scarier than a Blood Been looking for holy water, now I'm praying for a flood It feel like time passing me by slower than a slug While this feeling inside of my body seep in like a drug Will you hug me, rub me on the back like a child? Tell me you love me, need me Promise me you'll never leave me Even though my daddy, you know he blacker than the street With a fist to match, more solid than concrete Tell white people I'm black, feel the need to retreat Like I should be ashamed of my granddaddy Malik But my beautiful black brothers and sisters want to act like I'm adopted Go back in time to when my nigga daddy impregnated my cracker momma and stopped it My oh my My oh my Like the white women said oh my Single mother praying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Looking around on the ground for a serpent to feed her Praying to God, wondering why her baby daddy beat her Feeling like the devil finna come and defeat her Single mother praying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Looking around on the ground for a serpent to feed her Praying to God, wondering why her baby daddy beat her Feeling like the devil finna come and defeat her Single mother praying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Looking around on the ground for a serpent to feed her Praying to God, wondering why her baby daddy beat her Feeling like the devil finna come and defeat her All alone in the wintertime, close to the heater Wondering what's gonna happen And how the world gonna treat her How could her momma mislead her And her daddy just leave her?

Like abracadabra when that magician pull on the lever How could her momma mislead her And her daddy just leave her? Like abracadabra when that magician pull on the lever Oh my So what now? What advice can you give me? What advice can I give humanity? I suppose so Live your life Don't waste your days on the negative energy of others Remember that you're not your salary You're not your house you're not your car And no matter how big your bank account is Your grave is six feet under just like everyone else's So enjoy the days you have Worry not bout the days that came before you Nor the ones that will follow you in death Remember that right here in this moment is all you are guaranteed And the fact that you are living is what life is all about So live your life to the fullest According to your happiness and the betterment of all Damn man we've been walking forever Well Thalias tracking system says we'll be there in just over an hour Shit at least we got good walking music or is that it? Oh no man I'm cueing up the fourth album now, his final one [J. Cole] 1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 listen Look into my eyes Tell me you could see beyond the smile that I'm puttin' on This front that I'm puttin' up for you I spill my soul into a microphone With poems written in blood In hopes that it's enough for you Do you love me yet? Do you love me yet? No, okay I'll go harder for you In fact, I rap till I collapse All I wanted was acceptance My latest lesson I'll never feel your approval until I accept my own Come from a messed up home Destitute and less informed About the ways to raise a child up To not become a product Of his environment, I need to cry and vent But I done built this wall up Actin' like everything's all good But in reality I'm lookin' for something Through bumpin' my favorite rappers I came up after Nas, Cole and Hov Eyes closed I zone till 5 or so in the morn I'm used to being alone Shit you know how long I've been out on my own Chasing dreams, fantasies of a throne One day I wake up and see that it didn't exist all along Till then I will pen verses that fans consider brilliant Boosting my ego with every million that spills in And still then I won't find solace, so where's the logic in that? Worrying 'bout if they think Logic could rap When it all goes back to a childhood, need to be loved By parents that was in too deep with the drugs Nigga, my advice, fuck the black and white shit Be who you are, identify as a star No one tells you you're that It's something that you just know The world be stealing your glow Your mama did what she could Her life was miles from good Your father fell in the trap They set for you when you're black They met when they was low And therefore you a product of that And so your trauma is deep Don't bury it you should weep And clean it out of your system, then truly forgive 'em Just my opinion, only then can you find peace Just start to notice happiness don't come from album release I've been through it before Can only share with you what I know To be true, but at the same time, I'll never be you And you'll never be me, no matter how hard that you try This is for youngins out there wondering how far you could fly The truth is that you could go further than the stars and the sky But if you want to then you ought to know why Are you running from something With hopes of becoming someone That's finally worthy of love Let me tell you now, you're worthy enough Fuck approval from strangers, that shit is dangerous as hell Find God learn to accept yourself And I'm gone Accept him
