Logic – Lightsabers (ft. C Dot Castro) (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

From the College Park project dropping tomorrow, Logic [@Logic301] still teases a song. The piece tagged “Lightsabers” features C Dot Castro and was co-produced by Logic, Reed Seely & 6ix. Watch video, listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track, mp3 download.

Logic College Park

“Lightsabers” is produced by not only Logic, but his career-long right-hand man 6ix. 6ix has practically executively produced all of his collaborator’s studio albums. So, it comes as no surprise that he offers an excellent, two-part instrumental on “Lightsabers.” The first portion of the track consists of solely Logic, rapping about the ups and downs of every day life. Over the synthy, bass-infused trap beat, his up-tempo flow is captivating.

After a drawn-out beat switch, Logic is met with a new piano-infused instrumental. However, not much changes in terms of approach for the veteran rhymer. Utilizing his slick-tongued bars, his final verse on the song transitions into an elite display from C Dot Castro. Finishing the song, Castro spits about his determination for a better life and the trials and tribulations he has fought through. Yet again, this storied duo has provided their fans with another excellent display of songwriting and execution. Stream Logic & C Dot Castro’s “Lightsabers” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Additionally, tune into Logic’s new album College Park this Friday, February 24.

[Part I]

[Intro: Juicy J & C Dot Castro]
Logic
Talk shit, get hit, nigga
This is a world premiere
Logic, Juicy J, College Park
Takin’ ’em back to 2011, my nigga

[Chorus: Logic]
It’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
Yeah, uh, had a lot of bad ones this year, this—, this year
But—, but—, but today’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
I’ve been up and I’ve been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
Had a lot of bad ones this year, this—, this year
But—, but—, but today’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
I’ve been up and I’ve been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that’s a good day

[Verse: Logic]
Livin’ life like a renegade
Most people just livin’ they life tryna get paid
Good fella wanna get made, tryin’ to get that paper
Me and my neighbors, we shinin’ like lightsabers
Ain’t handin’ out no favors, we lucky to be alive
Smoke somethin’ to this and vibe
I hope you don’t give up your dreams for a nine-to-five
Don’t get me wrong, it’ll pay your bills
But if you don’t love your job, tell me, what’s the point?
Don’t disappoint, better make it a point to do it a better way
Everybody wanna get away
But no matter the shit that you goin’ through
Already knowin’ you know—

[Chorus: Logic]
It’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
Yeah, uh, had a lot of bad ones this year, this—, this year
But—, but—, but today’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
I’ve been up and I’ve been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
Had a lot of bad ones this year, this—, this year
But—, but—, but today’s a good day (Good day, good day, good day, good day)
I’ve been up and I’ve been down, but you know
Any day you wake up, that’s a good day

[Part II]

[Verse 1: Logic]
Let me get up on my MPC
When it come to makin’ beats, I’m the MVP
I’m the main motherfucker, you’re an NPC
Got ’em full of envy, the boy from M.D
Destroyed what I see, deploy, then I be
The illest MC, braggadocios flow
Vein like an IV, and I’m all up in the system
Blink once and you might have missed him
Pack a punch, like I’m Sonny Liston
Better listen, like I always do the intuition
Never missin’, ‘less I’m on tour
Then the family, I miss ’em

[Bridge: Logic]
Come and get some money (Money, money, come and get some)
Some money (Come and get some)
Come and get some money (Money, money, uh, uh)
Some money (Money, money)
Come and get some fame (Get some fame)
Come and get some (Get some, come and get some)
Come and get some fame (Some fame, some fame)
Come and get some (No, uh)
(What then, motherfucker?)
I’ma tell you right now (Hurry up)
Boy, you better calm down (Man, just spit it out)
Boy, you better reckon who you talkin’ to, I’m tryna talk to you
(Well, all this time you’ve been talkin’, you still ain’t said shit)
Shut the fuck up when you talkin’ to me
‘Fore I bust your head, just for talkin’ to me
Don’t do it for the money (Don’t do it for the money)
Don’t do it for the fame (Don’t do it for the fame)
Don’t do it for the money (Don’t do it for the money)
Don’t do it for the fame (Don’t do it for the fame)
But you did it for the money (You did it for the money)
And you did it for the fame (You did it for the fame)
You did it for the money (You did it for the money)
You did it for the fame (You did it for the fame)

[Verse 2: Logic]
Well, that ain’t the same, I already broke in the game
If you knew hip-hop, then you knew my name
But I was tired of broke, it was time to retire, it broke
I was so sick of bringin’ all that fire to folks that wouldn’t pay attention
So I made it all from the heart, then I put it on the business
Cap, and the rest is a wrap, from the boom-bap to the trap
Bust like a gat
I did it for the money and I did it for the fame
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that
And did it for the kid with the dream
Rappin’ in the mirror in his room as a teen
Hopin’ that he’d be seen by the world, and he would be (Would be)

[Breakdown: Logic]
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)
Yeah, be (Would be)

[Verse 3: Logic]
Everybody in my business, homie
Give a fuck about you and the critics, homie
Made a couple million, now they all up on me
I remember the days when they wasn’t though
I remember the days when I was cookin’ crack with my cousin
No, but on another note, I remember all the days in the basement, yeah
I remember no communication
‘Cause I was hustlin’, stackin’ the ammunition
Know the RattPack was on a mission, homie
See the vision, me and my division finna make it out
Now let me travel in time to 2011
And pass the mic’ to my homie all alone in his house
Talkin’ ’bout where we grew up and hopin’ we would make it out
Homie, make it out

[Verse 4: C Dot Castro]
Hopefully, one day, I get to be famous
Hopefully, one day, I’m hittin’ these stages
Hopefully, they gon’ get lit to these bangers
Waste off the set, one of these bitches just fainted
Hopefully we get this shit before we go and get evicted
I keep missin’ these payments
Warrant for my arrest, ’cause I done skipped the arrangements
Sometimes I feel like I can’t win, yeah, yeah
Plus ’round my way, bro, this shit can get dangerous
‘Round my way, they always grippin’ the stainless
Spin the block twice, if they miss where they’re aimin’
Yeah, your chain for your life, and they’re quick to exchange you
Yeah, that’s just the way that it is, don’t think it’s ever changin’
One day, I’ll say that I made it out
Look at my life while I sit in amazement
One day, I’ll throw an obscene amount
Out in Nobu, ten band tip to the waitress
One day there’ll be no debate about who the greatest out
Bitch, it’s him, no replacements, we’ll never choose the safest route
Put it all on the line, it’s a risk, then we take it, one day

[Outro: C Dot Castro & Logic]
Hello?
Hey, what’s up, bro, you at the crib?
Yeah, I’m just writin’ this verse
Alright, me and Lenny are just hittin’ a Mr. Burger
We’ll be there in like ten minutes
