Logic – Buried Alive Lyrics

Tell me how you feel
I feel like the grass is green
And everything I do is unseen¹
But I know that’s just in my mind
I know everything is just in my mind²
Do you really wanna be famous?
Do you really wanna be a superstar?³
Do you really wanna get dangerous?
Do you even know where the groupies are?⁴
Bitches out here be shameless
And I really wonder where they parents are⁵
Look around, everything changes
It feels like I’ve been buried alive⁶

Everything happens for a reason⁷
People only in your life for seasons
Word to Aunt Viv
Death and taxes that’s all we given⁸
You can make a life but can’t make a livin’⁹
You can make it work but that still ain’t driven¹⁰
Give a lot but that still ain’t givin
Livin’ life like this ain’t real though¹¹
Every night like this I feel so
Dead wrong, collision is head on
My vision is dead and gone
Perception of right and wrong
I been here so very long
Right here in this very song
Look around everything changes¹²
Seem like everybody just strangers
Don’t go outside cause it’s dangerous¹³
Why everybody wanna be famous
I’m so OCD if they notice me
I might jump out the grave so they know it’s me
Man everybody want this shit for free
Hand out palm up when they get to me¹⁴
In my mind no I never let it get to me
Everybody got a time will it get to me¹⁵
V’s¹⁶ up motherfucka that’s victory
Tell me why what I’m doing ain’t shit to me, damn

Buried alive, buried alive
Will I survive?
Buried alive
I gotta know
I gotta know
It feels like I’ve been buried alive
Buried alive¹⁷

Tell me how you feel
I feel like the grass is green
And everything I do is unseen
But I know that’s just in my mind
I know everything is just in my mind
Do you really wanna to be famous?
Do you really wanna be a superstar?
Do you really wanna get dangerous?
Do you even know where the groupies are?
Bitches out here be shameless
And I really wonder where they parents are
Look around, everything changes
It feels like I’ve been buried alive

Let it breathe
I’m feelin’ this villainous feelin inside of my mind¹⁸
Every time that I’m willing I feel like I’m killin’ my dreams
When that voice goes nah, nah, nah¹⁹
Listen up now
Love it or hate it, never debate it, you can never degrade it
While all these other motherfuckers probably thinking
I made it
My mind jaded no I never evade it²⁰
I elevate it²¹ just to keep it innovative (innovative)
God damn, bring it back now
Blowin’ up like Iraq²² now
RattPack put me on the map now
No we never back down
Just take my time, I just take my time
I know, Imma get it like this
So everyone know that I did it like this
Yeah, I know
Imma take my time
Battle the image inside of my mind
I know, Imma keep going²³
Tell me I can’t but I’m already knowing
I know, I’m gonna rise²⁴
Even though I’ve been buried alive
Buried alive, will I survive?
I gotta know
I gotta know
It feels like I’ve been buried alive
Buried alive

Tell me how you feel
I feel like the grass is green
And everything I do is unseen
But I know that’s just in my mind
I know everything is just in my mind
Do you really wanna to be famous?
Do you really wanna be a superstar?
Do you really wanna get dangerous?
Do you even know where the groupies are?
Bitches out here be shameless
And I really wonder where they parents are
Look around, everything changes
It feels like I’ve been buried alive²⁵

Let it breathe
Outkast
A Tribe Called Quest
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
And films by Quentin Tarantino
Were in rotation constantly
Throughout the duration of this album’s creation²⁶
