  • Here, Logic outlines his thoughts on politics. He told Genius: "I've never done a song like this ever. I've never gotten political. I've never talked about things. It ain't even about black or this or that. It's just about America."
  • Logic calls out Kanye West for not protesting against President Donald Trump:

    George Bush doesn't care about black people
    2017 and Donald Trump is the sequel so
    S--t, I'll say what Kanye won't
    Wake the f--k up and give the people what they want
