AfricAryaN - Logic/Neil deGrasse Tyson

Written by：Neil DeGrasse Tyson/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 ni**a daddy impregnated

My cracker momma and stopped it

My oh my

My oh my

Oh my

My oh 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 sh*t

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

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 sh*t 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 sh*t don't make a dent in how I'm feeling

And yes I'm willing to keep chilling on this sh*t

I know there is someone out there far away

Who's feeling all this sh*t

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

Oh my oh my

Oh my oh my

Oh my oh my

Oh my oh my

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 ni**a daddy impregnated

My oh my

My oh my

My oh my

Single mother praying in a gadda da vida

Sometimes I can't get you out of my mind

Baby no I just can't find I just can't find

Such a beautiful state of mind

State of mind

State of mind

State of mind

Sometimes everyday right on time

But right now on my mind

It feels like I'm living on borrowed time

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 con

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 ni**a daddy impregnated my cracker momma and stopped it

My oh my oh my

Feeling innocent oh my

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

Sh*t 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

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

Sh*t 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

Ni**a my advice f**k the black and white sh*t

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

F**k approval from strangers that sh*t is dangerous as hell

Find god learn to accept yourself

And I'm gone

Accept him
