I was raised bout it, just a white boy
Nothing special bout him, man that’s just white noise
That’s whiter than my skin and those lies and the castle
Raise the roof cause I’m riding in high up on my saddle
My future look bright but my past was so dim
Think of all the days and nights, I lacked confidence
Back when I was younger, my mouth was locked tight
Confidence was the key, but the key was outta sight
I was timid to speak, I bought the lies they sold
I had four cards of a kind, but they advised me to fold
Shyness mask my personality, take a step back from reality
Livin my life submissive to others and sacrificing quality
For some reason, nothing I said ever triggered a laugh
Talkin got me stuck in awkward place like Howard Taft
That was my president, to live life in the shadows
But I flunked out on my purpose and surrendered all my battles
I think I regret taking my life too serious
Neglectin all the fun, but school kept me curious
I went hard in the classroom, like I do in the paint
I never thought twice bout it, I just made good grades
But I missed my chances, like Courtney Lee in the clutch
Coulda changed the game, but I lost my Magic touch
All I knew was hard work on the court and in the class
Skipped out on my friends, my family, the fun, let it all pass
I got Mumblin speech, and my shoulders were curved
I’m not ready to order, I’ll just live on hors d’oeuvres
Afraid of the conversation and afraid to fail
My hustle remain fresh when everything else grew stale
All that time I was by myself in dedication
My brain kept on ponderin in self meditation
Why was I so shy? Cause I care too much what they think
Like why’m I by myself? Cause I wasn’t in sync
All this along with the constant worry if I met the status quo
My legend in the shadows, You don’t know Bo
But it’s time I found the light like Edison
Behold the key, I found some confidence
But it wasn’t overnight, like a slumber party
I’m still working every second, like I was in the army
That’s my quest for confidence, to see if I can obtain
I don’t quite have it, but at least I’m on my way
Yeah, I got a tougher skin, call me a reptile
Always on the move, can’t spot me sessile
I’m not a new person, I just left the fear in my closet
Too much character, gotta make a deposit
Man, I ain’t no chicken, cause I ain’t one to be cocky
But I found that confidence to fight against Rocky
I’m pretty satisfied with my life, man, I can’t complain
I learned how to make a joke and how to make a name
I don’t know bout rattpack stuff, I keep it real all the time
I mean that’s my Logic, I’m always on my grind
Never let up, that’s why it’s pedal to the metal
I’m already high up, don’t have to fake it with stilletos
It’s a daily challenge, trying to find the balance
Between making conversation and progressin my talents
The quest never stops, I don’t sleep like all-nighter
But the light at the end of the tunnel keeps getting brighter
Nothing special bout him, man that’s just white noise
That’s whiter than my skin and those lies and the castle
Raise the roof cause I’m riding in high up on my saddle
My future look bright but my past was so dim
