But Like Motherfuckers Be So In-and-out, That′s Why I Didn't Stay With Def Jam
I Went To Def Jam After Ten Years On The Label, Because I Owed Them That
I Was Like, "Okay, So What's Up? We Signing Another Deal?"

Logic As A Rapper Is An Anomaly, A Person Who Is Out Of Time
Living In The Present, You Know, Rooted In The Past
But A Traditionalist Who Believes In The Future
Who Believes In What Hip-hop Was And Can Still Be
So We′re Here In This Modern Time
Thinking About And Listening To The Development Of Hip-hop And It's Future All At Once
I Think That A Lot Of People In The Modern Sense Of The Word Get Caught Up In How Fleeting Time Is
And They Believe That What′s Happening Right In Front Of Them
Is The Most Immediate Thing And It's The Most Meaningful Thing

And They Have To Engage What′s Happening In The Moment
Because The Moment's Gonna Be Gone And Then They're Not Gonna Care
Or No One Else Around Them Is Gonna Care
And I Think We Forget That Great Experiences In The, In Humanity
Go On For Decades, Centuries, Sometimes Millennia
Before Anybody Even Really Knows How To Make Sense Of Them
And So, In The Same Way That The Monks In The Dark Ages Were Keeping Records And Saving Books
You Know, It Is Important For Us To Really Make Sense Of One Of Americas Great Folk Musics, And That′s Hip-hop
And There′s Very Few People Who Care Enough To Actually Keep The Form Going While Trying To Push It Forwards

Logic's One Of Those Dudes
And The Reason Madlib And I Decided That We Wanted To Work With Him
Is Because He Came Through With A True Sincerity And Appreciation For The Form
And For All Of The People Who Make It
And Like A True Understanding Of Craft And Like, Who′s Doing What
And How Their Technique Is Either Important, Relevant
Something That Needs To Be Preserved Or Not
And I Remind Myself That Even Though Hip-hop Seems To Me
In My Mid Forties To Be An Old Thing Because It's Been Around Since The Early ′70s
It's Actually Just In Its Infancy

And If It′s Not For People Like Logic Trying To Keep This Tradition Alive
We're Not Really Gonna Know Even Shortly After, What's Supposed To Come
This Hopefully Is An Art Form That′s Gonna Outlast
All These Art Forms That Preceded It And Formed It
And We′re Only Gonna Know That If People Who Truly Have The Passion, Belief
And The Proficiency, The Musical Acumen
To Hold The Form, Hold It Dear
And At The Same Time, Not Be So Reverent To It And Push It Forward
Are There To Show Us The Way
So Hopefully He's One Of These Dudes, I Have That Belief
