[Intro: Jon Bellion]
And ah
Logic

[Chorus: Logic & Jon Bellion]
This is real life (Yeah, yeah), the only one we get to live (Yeah, yeah)
I remember bein' broke and thinkin' something's gotta give (Ah)
This is real life (Yeah, yeah), everything we do is legendary (Yeah, yeah)
And we gon' do it 'til the day we in the cemetery
Real life, it feel like I'm dreamin'
Used to feel like I was nothin', now my life has meanin'
Said this is real life, goddamn, this is real life

[Verse 1: Logic]
Uh, yeah, I've been fiendin' for this moment
I've been dreamin' 'bout this moment
I guess this is how it feel to have everything you ever wanted
Writin' these records like a dissertation
While the fans goin' crazy from anticipation, damn
Nine years, that's a lot of patience
And now I'm lookin' at my idols and feelin' adjacent
This a hell of a long way from back in the basement
Lookin' at hip-hop tryna find my placement
I bought my first pair of Jordans at twenty-two, huh
Same year I bought a crib too
Now my face in magazines I used to flip through
And my music on all the sites I used to sift through
Remember meetin' Nas for the first time
Shook his hand and he started quotin' my lines?
Said he a fan, goddamn, this is my time
I'ma get it, I'ma do it 'til we prime time
Yeah, I told him every single day that I be at it
In the studio, recording like an addict
He said that real hip-hop shit, I had it
Thinkin' to myself, "Damn, man, you made Illmatic"
[Chorus: Logic & Jon Bellion]
This is real life (Oh), the only one we get to live
I remember bein' broke and thinking something's gotta give (Oh)
This is real life, everything we do is legendary
And we gon' do it to the day we in the cemetery (Ah)
Real life, it feel like I'm dreaming
Used to feel like I was nothin', now my life has meanin' (Oh, ooh)
Said this is real life (Ooh), goddamn, this is real life (Yeah, yeah)
I used to wonder what it feel like (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: Logic & Jon Bellion]
Aight, I guess we back again
With another verse about how much I'm black again
You don't like it? Blame God for the packagin'
Bringin' up my race, don't call me a white rapper then
Damn, they judgin' me by my skin tone
Instead of my talent, man, these motherfuckers been wrong
But it's all good, I just thought I'd address it
And spell it out for people so they can finally assess it
This is dedicated to anyone wit' a dream
And a realization of what followin' it means
Breakin' the cycle and not following your genes
That perfect moment when your logic intervenes
And let you know that everything ain't always what it seems
But if you really lookin', I promise you'll find your dreams
This is everything I ever wanted, half of y'all won't get it
The other half will probably laugh and wonder how I did it
I just spit it from my mind, one word at the time
Take everything I'm goin' through and put it in a rhyme
I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't have a lot of weight upon my shoulders
But this is my therapy as I flow this
Spilling out my heart, I just hope somebody notice
I've been real from the start (Ooh) and you motherfuckers know this (Yeah, yeah)
Once my name elevated that's when the fame escalated (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But on the real, I've grown accustomed to the stares (Yeah)
People watchin' every move I make like it was theirs (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
All up in my business, and even in my personal affairs (Yeah), now (Yeah)
I know I talk a lot of game (Yeah, yeah), but I ain't tryna sell you (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause honestly, I could show you better than I could tell you (Ah, yeah)
And even though there's been moments when everything have fell through (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We kept it movin', assumin' even the greatest fail too
I swear this business shit is do or die
I never contemplated suicide, I'm too alive
In front of thousands, but I'm talkin' like it's you and I
And everyday, fewer find their dreams because fewer try
[Chorus: Logic & Jon Bellion]
This is real life (Oh), the only one we get to live
I remember bein' broke and thinking something's gotta give (Oh)
This is real life, everything we do is legendary
And we gon' do it to the day we in the cemetery (Ah)
Real life, it feel like I'm dreaming
Used to feel like I was nothin', now my life has meanin' (Oh, ooh)
Said this is real life (Ooh), goddamn, this is real life (Yeah, yeah)
I used to wonder what it feel like (Yeah)

[Outro: Jon Bellion, JAY-Z & Kanye West]
Everything I seen made me everything I am (Yeah, yeah, yeah, check it out)
Everything I do, I'm a man behind mine
Throw your hands in the air, I stand behind mine
Everything I seen made me everything I am (Check it out), you real with me? (Oh, ooh)
Stand behind mine (Yeah, yeah)
Everything I do, I'm a man behind mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Said welcome to forever
Welcome to forever
Welcome to forever
