Logan Wood - Why Them, Not Me

One of those nights man
Feeling like I won't amount to anything
Comparing myself to others 'n shit
Nothing's going my way

Tell me I'm different
But I'm still the same as I've always been
Give me a reason
To keep holding on
I'll keep going strong
(I'll keep going)

But tell me
Why them, not me
I've been giving up all this time
And I'm on my grind so please
Tell me
Why them, not me
Why them, not me (Tell me)
Lord knows what I came for (Lord knows)
And he knows I been grateful (Damn straight)
So tell me

Where the knowledge went
Maybe it's like collagen
Game ages more but the problem is
Rappers nowadays kick their feet up, no ottomans
Empires before deserve more, pay the homage then
Got me second guessing my accomplishments
Wisdom in the game drained quicker than a college kid's bank account
I done paid the same amount
Day in and day out
Will I fade in, will I fade out
I don't know but
The greats like Ye and Hov
They paved the road
Now rappers glorifying lean at their control
Maybe they don't
Pray another don't overdose
Look, ever since it started, the rates rose
Case closed
I'll keep it brief
Ain't from the streets
I'm from the burbs but I'm being me
That's something we need, more in this industry
A real motto for the kids to preach

So tell me
Why them, not me
I've been giving up all this time
And I'm on my grind so please
Tell me
Why them, not me
Why them, not me (Tell me)
Lord knows what I came for (Lord knows)
And he knows I been grateful (Damn straight)
So tell me

Why I been here moving shit
Staying up, producing it
Writing down my truth to this
It ain't a confessional, I'm just in the booth to spit
Ball's in my court and the jury know i'm proving fit
Started with the rudiments
Fumigants
Spread through Word of Mouf like I'm Ludacris
Who is this
Old soul bringing new spice, Terry Crews-ing it
I'm your new captain of the future ship
So somebody please tell me

Why them, not me
I've been giving up all this time
And I'm on my grind so please
Tell me
Why them, not me
Why them, not me (Tell me)
Lord knows what I came for (Lord knows)
And he knows I been grateful (Damn straight)
So tell me

Why them, not me
I've been giving up all this time
And I'm on my grind so please
Tell me
Why them, not me
Why them, not me (Tell me)
Lord knows what I came for (Lord knows)
And he knows I been grateful (Damn straight)
So tell me

Why them, not me
Tell me
Why them
And not me
