Logic (People's Army) - The Writing lyrics

The Writing.. Yeah Simple [Logic] Listen I had to stop my car and start writing Cos for the past 8 miles I was freestyling Sometimes i gotta think about who I'm fighting Without a pa**port were all trapped on an island I've been searching forever but I'm never finding Not phased by what others see as 'exciting' On the stage people think that I'm on a hype ting' Nah it's not that I just believe in what I'm writing I put my insecurities in the words i speak I need to eat but physically i feel weak And I'm not the type to turn the other cheek I was taught by the place i was raised to back beef I've had people that i knew and let in my house.. Tell me how they gunna push a gun in my mouth! See i was scared and at the same time i got prepared See if you went home that night i was there On my own with a tool that probably doesn't work Regardless i was prepared to go an let it burst Over what? Over another mans Ego? Sometimes fam i wanna be a hero And save everyone but first i gotta save myself That's all down to me fam Noone else I don't need help but i do appreciate it You get out what you put in, and that's basic I've been programmed to go and get Queens faces Some people are programmed to be racist Raised with the mentality Where they believe.. That there skin color makes them a better breed I got issues inside and out my body Original my mum never made a carbon copy We all special, yeah I'm talking about everybody! Every person on the planet has the right to breathe I've had pleasures from women you would die to link Wife material The type that doesn't smoke or drink But every angels got demons that they used to know The devil plants his seed and people make it grow I see my enemys developing and making moves While the righteous are stagnant in muddy shoes Kids that grew together now they're in different crews Little girls having innocence a race to loose Lost children with NOBODY trying to find em' Lost like a weak vocal with no hype man Some rappers can't perform but people still like them The same man that opened the door and it closed behind em I get depressed and even times i get suicidal Sipping brandy While i light up a nytol I've been born in a life where we fight rivals To get a reputation Get a street title Make names up WEAK way to dodge the feds Kick doors of while you sleeping in your beds Surveillance cameras clocking your every step To make sure that there masonic laws are kept We defending a state or a road name Like we own it! Like it's suttin we can claim! The British keep sending troops to Afghanistan Not to maintain peace they got a bigger plan Little hands gotta eat from a bigger hand So they abuse it Take over, run the land They want the power and the oil cos when it's put together... It's more valuable then any amount of cheddar.. We all die so I'm not trying to live for ever I'm tryna' write words that'll be forever treasured We all die so I'm not trying to live for ever I'm tryna' write words that'll be forever treasured
