Everybody

For the lead single and title track of his 3rd studio album, Logic touches on issues of race, while interweaving his personal encounters with racism. The song’s message is one of equality, which is made evident with the chorus. “Everybody” is Logic’s first release since his mixtape, Bobby Tarantino, which premiered 8 months prior. He first teased the song on the 1/1/16 via Snapchat.

[Intro] Okay I was gone for a minute but I'm back now Sit the fuck back down Seem like everybody nowadays Hollywood Oh, it’s like that now? I'ma show you mothafuckas how to act now I'ma show 'em how to act I'ma show 'em how to act [Verse 1] Okay now picture little Bobby just a youngin' runnin' round With his mans, hammer in his hands, feelin' like the man Run, mothafucka, run Before the popo get the gun, put it to your brain like goddamn! Everybody know you ain't about it Everything you talk about I know I can live without it Red light, stop. Green light, go! Everything ain't what it seem like Mothafucka I know! Hold up, what you mean, where you been? Bitch, I been in This is merely the beginning again What you been living in? A box, under the bridge, like Anthony Kiedis? Looking for something to complete us And maybe lead us, fuck an elitist Hell of a long way from equal is how they treat us Body of a builder with the mind of a fetus Turn on the television and see the vision they feed us And I wish I could erase that, face facts [Chorus] Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something Everybody love, everybody know, how it go Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something Everybody love, everybody know [Verse 2] I been knockin' doors down like a Jehovah witness God as my witness, I'm with this But on the real, I think I need another witness! If it was 1717, black daddy, white momma wouldn't change a thing Light skin mothafucka certified as a house nigga Well I'll be God damned, go figure In my blood is the slave and the master It's like the devil playin' spades with the pastor But he was born with the white privilege! Man, what the fuck is that? White people told me as a child, as a little boy, playin' with his toys I should be ashamed to be black And some black people look ashamed when I rap Like my great granddaddy didn’t take a whip to the back Not accepted by the black or the white I don't give a fuck, praise God, I could see the light Everybody talkin' 'bout race this, race that I wish I could erase that, face facts [Chorus] Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something Everybody love, everybody know, how it go Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something Everybody love, everybody know [Outro] Okay I was gone for a minute but I'm back now Sit the fuck back down Seem like everybody nowadays Hollywood Oh, it's like that now? I'ma show you mothafuckas how to act now I'ma show 'em how to act I'ma show 'em how to act
