Logic - Peace Love Y Positivity Lyrics

Yeah, doing seventy on this highway
In the back of this bus, I'm busting my mind open
Hoping these lyrics connect like Tetris, effect

Retrospect got me in a state of constant reflection
Corrections, I was destined, manifesting something much different
I'm living this way, off of what should've been my fate
Living in the constant state of: What the fuck should I create?
'Cause I can do it all, yo

Picking the pen up when I'm feeling pen'd up
Like a K9 when he picking the center
Seventeen in the stair, yo
Ay, seventeen in the stairway, hustling drugs
Listening to Grandmaster by GZA and Muggs
My mama wyling while I'm tryna find my style in the game
While the legends was killing it, I was crawling in the game
It's all the same, from Maryland out to Spain
You know we keeping that same train of thought
Shit that can't be bought but only taught by millions of dollars
Now look what that did, them brothers, more problems
Only when you understand 'em, can you solve 'em
Feel like Rooster Jenkins, while the rest revolving 'round the dollar
Word to Allah, I can only hope the best for the rest of this world

A child, the memories of 2011 in the Impala
I used to rock the Jam Sport, now it's Louie V
'Cause that Italian leather right there is a movie, B
The perception of who we be is lesser than a ninety-degree V
'Cause what we doing is greater than they could ever see
Keep it a hundred like a C, yeah, my flow is Roman B
You know the flow is rowing, B, and right now
If I'm being honest, I really don't get the angle
Your lyricism got me nappy, like a nigga's tangled
That ain't no black exploitation, it's a black boy facing his fears
'Cause nigga was afraid to say nigga for years
Not in my life, but on the record, 'cause these niggas here
Don't like the fact that I'm a halfbreed, and they make it clear

You ain't no nigga, weren't never no nigga
I could give a fuck about what childhood trauma that does trigger
Your brothers is niggas, your sisters is niggas
Your aunties, uncles, and your cousins is niggas
Your daddy is a nigga
Every single one of them called you a nigga growing up
But you ain't
(Nah), fuck that picture that you tryna paint
I'm here to tell you who you are and what to do (Man, fuck you)

Some people say I can and some people say I can't
Why you so obsessed with me, just let me paint
Man, I'd be lying if I said this shit don't get to me
'Cause not a single one of my black folks said shit to me
Whenever I see black prevail, that shit a victory
Before I wrote this shit down, I had depicted be
I know the way that the word nigga in his history
The fact that any of us still say it a mystery
But y'all don't want that word in my lungs, like it hits to me
I'll never know how it feels to be a black man
But I know how it feels when your own people give you the backhand
That's why I'm writing this shit here for the people that need it
And then attending the thousands at the show and repeat it
Whoever you are, listening, that needed this right now
I love you, don't ever let the world put negativity above you
Just be yourself, unapologetically
This shit right here for my dawgs, pedigree, let it be
This is me, peace, love, and positivity
Back in the day, people said that it was gay
That I rapped about my feelings, now it's critically acclaimed
Ain't it funny how time switches the frame?
They used to call three-thousand a pillow writer
'Cause he wore pink feathers and wore leather
It would insight a riot in the rap community
Uh, now he's considered top five with full immunity
Love this rap shit, but the fact is, my factions
Stay giving to Grammy's to niggas that's acting
Shit is trash, word to Oscar
If rap was the woman of my dreams, then I'd toss her
'Cause I finally woke up, that's no inception
I bring life into the game, these niggas' contraception
Peep the ascension, nothing but love is my intention
But they still get it backwards, they never pay attention
They all henchmen, I'm in the game, they all bench men
Ayy, listen, ayy, listen, never stop, no, never give up your dream
And no matter the adversity you'll always reign supreme, what?
