Logic (People's Army) - Inspiration lyrics

[Talking] Dedication Motivation, (Yeah) Life's a celebration We're living off inspiration Logical, People's Army Yeah, look [Verse] You see my aim's to be the next Rodney P I hold it down brudda Not for now but when your done pa** the crown brudda This rap tings like no other it's a part of me See I'm inspired by a true MC When I first heard Righteous spit his Pen bar I felt the heart of playing old school PDC tapes in my car Talented, God in my heart and Devil's in my mind Quinney Cript, Jaja, even heard Arch a couple times Then I linked with Bytes And Quinney knew Blacks from school, we made a lab Yeah Phils was my crew and at the same time PLO We used to talk about, stuff to escape from the roads DVS was just over the road So he used to come early the mic's dead Suge and H chatting to my nan, while I'm still in bed Shak and Naja made a mixtape Quinney, and Devs made a mixtape And Stinks made a mixtape Phils affiliated mixtapes Anyone who wanted to spit Political Peak was just a kid Started hitting Deal Real, Open Mics they became a hobby I left the white girl to chill with Bobby I linked Frank, then Frank got Manic Madnick and Prodigal Son Kraftsmen and Too Explicit DJ Snuff and Manage were a tag team And Mill playing the guitar The cameraman was Strings PLO evolved into ?, me, Sty, and Outfit, I'm gonna miss a bit but why low it? You might get it Doc Brown hosted all the Open Mic sessions And Mike GLC was there so you get a mention Rhyme Asylum Possessed Stylah used to spit like he was the best And Lowkey always spat like he had something on his chest Started hearing about MCs like Ghetts and Kano They know, That Wiley would deliver I had tapes with Wiley, Rico, and Skiba Going back to back way back take that This is not a track reminiscing, nah fam This is a track about Inspiration That's my background and now the game's forever changing I say that we embrace it We got Stormzy setting pace And I put Brotherhood firmly in the race, salute reality George The Poet spittin actuality We got young Stubborn who ain't really heard But if your listening your hanging on to every word Little Malachi soon come, and RU1 are beating on the drum Malik still reppin Brum And Don't Flop's got it's critics but there's no doubt it's got a scene Are BBK the best Grime team? Controversy Sneakbo, Krept and Konnan, play this from early From the block to the stage On the real you must salute what is made out of nothing Look we started off broke, and even if we're not rich We made a dream into a hope A hope into an action that can actually happen Imagine that we're getting paid for our rappings Paid for our writings Did we think this when we started? That's the true definition of a true artist Let me start this Akala is inspiration Maverick Sabre is inspiration Yeah and Sway he's inspiration Mighty Moe is inspiration Look we started something beautiful Something we can call our own and use as a tool To shape the minds of the next generation Cause they can't hear the news over all the music that their playing So I say we put the news in the music, educate them It's their choice if they choose it I salute it, but don't excuse it Cause everyone's responsible not just Wayne and Drake Yeah it's got a lot to do with what we're teaching Originality, think it over Now the youngers are screaming out f** the olders We've created some real soldiers, slightly misguided But first we need to embrace where their mind is Where their minds at, cause you get what you give back Listen this is not a track for name droppin Cause if it was I've got the same problem I remember filming Dot Rotten vs Nartsie down in Brockwell Park Nothing but truth that's in my heart, see this is not the start It started back with London Posse, "Money Mad" Yo! MTV Raps Way before Dizzee and Crazy T had their little scrap Skinnyman and Mud Fam TY and Blak Twang We don't know where we're going if we don't pay homage to the place where it began See I been doing this way before the cameras so the footage couldn't get taken But don't get it mistaken, cause any real rapper will support this That the best freestyles are not recorded Never seen again, that's the way it is, it's just another myth Yeah, listen, I told you, that's what inspiration is [Talking] One take I don't even think it needs anything else in it You know what fam, I think we should just leave it like that Overstand, give thanks Peace, love, guidance
