Logic - I Wish Lyrics






[Intro - Renee Soul]

[Vocals]

[Verse 1 - Logic]
Listen
Yeah
Look
I wish there wasn't no system
I wish death on almost every other politician
I wish freedom for all my brothers stuck in prison
I wish people weren't led by the television
I wish the kids turned against the media
Don’t believe everything you read on Wikipedia
Africa I wish that we were feeding ya and not raping ya wealth
I wish that people thought about somebody else before themself
Listen, then maybe then we’d all live good B
If you need it then I got that the way it should be
Life’s nowhere near where it could be
Sometimes I wish that I was Lowkey and they come and took me
Cause I feel kinda bad in my heart cause I feel the first bang so it’s hard yeah we bust case
iTunes number 1 yeah forget paves
Forget any of the offers that the labels make

[Hook - Renee Soul]
I wish
I wish that all my wrongs were right
And I wish
I wish that I could change my life
So my kids
Would never have to sacrifice
Like I did
So I give
And they live
People have to realize
That we live
We’re living in some crazy times
And I wish
I wish that we would all unite
And I wish
I wish I wish I wish

[Verse 2 - Logic]
I wish for peace in every country
I wish for a stress-less life for my mummy
I wish that no kid went hungry
Cause trust me, if I had enough money
I’d fill up every hungry kid’s tummy
I wish that money gets abolished
So anyone can give everything to their kids never can’t afford it
I wish the whole world was able to live lawless
I wish that there wasn't no such thing as being the poorest
I wish we didn't know what more is
I wish that everyone saw everyone as beautiful and gorgeous
I wish for a lot of things
I wish that I was young and I still played for Kennington Kings
Look, I don’t wish for the fame or the glamour
I wish for everyone to understand us
See what I really wish for will probably never be
I wish Africa and Palestine were free

[Hook - Renee Soul]
I wish
I wish that all my wrongs were right
And I wish
I wish that I could change my life
So my kids
Would never have to sacrifice
Like I did
So I give
And they live
People have to realize
That we live
We’re living in some crazy times
And I wish
I wish that we would all unite
And I wish
I wish I wish I wish
[Vocals]

[Verse 3 - Lowkey]
I wish I could see freedom for the Irish
And I wish you could see deeper than my iris
As I write this I wish
People would define it in a way that wasn't dictated by dividers and conquerors
Tell us conscious is what our genre is
You think their dominance is monstrous
But a bomb isn't stronger than a continent
Tell us we’re incompetent
That’s nonsense we’re just onto them
My confidence is shocking them
Not all open hands and open mouths
Dry your tears cause the pioneers of global south
That is why we’re here
Never will I appear on Oprah’s couch
Only in the press when the feds put my photo out
They wonder why the mad and young are grabbing guns (Why?)
But you could speak with your hands if you didn’t have a tongue
Even that’s better than sitting down sad and numb
At times I wish I was Gaberlunzie and I was about to have a son
Scratch that had a baby girl
Live twice and bring life to this crazy world
Be on rap congrats for the new arrival
I’m stuck in Britain accustomed to living suicidal
But not for much longer
I realize that our culture is a weapon
And nowadays I’m much stronger
Simply to exist is what I wish
Retirement or not what I have written is timeless

    Every time.

    Here's to hoping he returns one day - until then lets prove ourselves to him by spreading his words, by education ourselves, by learning not to turn the other cheek. By making real change.
    Imagine that, he comes back due to public demand because we FORCED the changes he speaks of.
    'Twould be a proud day.

The song is in fact coming out as soon as is humanly possible but that original announcement came from other people not me. I will be touring in September and releasing a few songs between now and then. Hope you enjoy the music and those that come enjoy the shows.
    Peace and respect."

    I miss him Wallah

    A.... D....

    hahaha so am uneducated cause i told you not to bring God into shit you know aint right...music is haraam i enjoy it but i dont freaking mix it with Gods name ....so dont be a bitch

    A.... D....

    Music is haram...but you enjoy it? 
    Swearing is haram...but you swear?
    Next time you try to act like s strong believer, lead by example because you're the type who corrupt Islam.

    A.... D....

    +Al Dahan saltute you. I don't believe in any god of the 35 different religions, i believe in being a good person, if god did exist he would open his arms for someone who lived a good life but was an aethiest as oppose to someone who raped amd murdered in 'his honour', each to their own, one planet here for all people

    A.... D....

    Lol the human race is so petty. Especially, the men

  35. B.... C....

    this is astonishing, this speaks to me spiritually, mentally, & physically.. I wonder how the geometrical symmetry would look if Dr. Emoto froze the Water after this song was played to it

  36. A.... ....

    You can never blame an organization for the acts of an individual. We must educate everyone so this disease will stop.

  37. K.... K....

    This brings back memories

  38. s.... ....

    he will come back i have hope. no way would he stand back and watch the world for 3 years now. his insides are probably eating him. he probably raps to himself saying i wish i could let it out to the people. he would have opinions. its hard to believe he stayed quiet for that long. ...

  39. D.... V....

    Lowkey for President in 2020 ;)

  40. E.... S....

    M.... S....

    Ceramics though.

  50. K.... H....

    I found out about Lowkey just before he made this song and was like seriously I've got to find good music right when he's about to go about different things. His songs gave me inspiration to write poems. He made me realize a lot of things and I realized I was brainwashed. Globalfaction let him know we need him back! He's missed deeply

  51. T.... S....

    Best rapper ever ! Met him in *******, he was just so sick and amazing bruh.

  52. G.... K....

    Lowkey we love you buddy. We wish for a safe life for you. You have done a lot and Logic, your brother, is still going strong. 

    Global Faction is one of the most important channels on this site. They help push the music/message further. I share your stuff all the time to do my part.

    This music on here has helped my vision. 

    Salute.

    @Derek Thomas Lirio Much respect to you bro. Escaping the confines of society and living and abiding by rules only you and those conscious enough to listen - understand. Me and you both yo.

  56. B.... S....

    I can't wait man.
    one of these days i'll give birth to a baby girl
    i'll cry and hug her tight, promising never to abandon my children
    passing on everythign I know, not being a hypocrite like mine saying one and doing another, but i'll be the example - and watch proudly as they do everything I never could with every opportunity

    while i sit here with a beer, wanting to change. 
    drunken fantasies are nice but here's the grim logic
    i've got to change.

  63. S.... 2....

    Can someone explain to me what is happening to Ireland?

    S.... 2....

    Ireland is part of the U.K. Northern Ireland is in dependent. That is why he says he wishes to see freedom for the Irish as half of Ireland is part of the U.K.

    I wish that Africa and Palestine were free~ love that quote from this song ♥.

  68. B.... B....

    Does anyone know where i can get necklace like this from?

  69. M.... R....

    Why don't they teach stuff like this in schools?

    M.... R....

    because schools are government owned.

    M.... R....

    @fairo Some schools do teach stuff like this. But not private for-profit schools, and not schools controlled by CAPITALIST governments.

    M.... R....

    Well I hope so. 

    M.... R....

    @fairo We can get more schools to teach stuff like this by building leftwing movements and getting leftwing governments elected, as the people of Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador have done.

    "when he speaks we listen" -leaders by nas and damian marley

  72. M.... 1....

    This brings tears to my eyes cos this was  lowkeys last rap befor he left
     'Retirement or not what I have written is timeless'

  73. B.... S....

    Whoever you are i'm as confused as you are
    I love you brother. Know this. 
    I'm drunk. I wish I weren't but I am. 
    We're living in some crazy times i wish that we would all unite a stressless life for me mummy.

  74. T.... O....

    Guys check out my rap who I am I will make a rap every Sunday they will get better.

    If u have nothing nice to say thn don't

  75. A.... ....

    Lowkey, the values you stand for are the ideals we do not dare to protect. But you did. The words that you speak are the words that cross our minds but we never dare to say them.But you did. From parents to politicians, our tongues never dared to take the risk of speaking truth, but yours did. When you were around, you were our voice. Now that you are gone, we are voiceless. Please come back when it is safe enough to come back, and press on. You are the half of our conscience that dares to light up in this sea of darkness we call our society.

    Sincerly, my generation (or at the very least just me).
    P.s. This song made me emotional so....yeah...

  76. O.... B....

    It says from various sites that Lowkey's Twitter account mysteriously shut down...that he has retired for Hip-Hop? His house was raided so on so forth...hmm and in this particular song you have the artist stating "I wish I was Lowkey and they'd come and take me"?? So apparently something did happen to Lowkey.

  77. I.... D....

    I wish we didn't know what "more" is. I wish everybody saw everybody as beautiful and gorgeous.

    I.... D....

    well said brother

  78. g.... b....

    "I wish i was Lowkey, and they came and took me" whats this indicating? whats happened to Lowkey 

  79. x.... M....

    can someone please let me know where i can buy a hard copy of Lowkey's album, Soundtrack to the struggle?

    x.... M....

    http://www.soundtracktothestruggle.com

    I got my copy 1-2 years ago, it took about 3 weeks for delivery

    x.... M....

    thanks mate il give it a go!:)

    x.... M....

    @Karen K I wasn't sure at first either but yeah i got mine :)

    x.... M....

    Amazon or another online retailer will have some.

  80. N.... L....

    Check out our music and let us know what you think!

  81. A.... E....

    I wish Lowkey And Immortal Technique would drop an album again.

  82. G.... ....

    I miss lowkey. 

    G.... ....

    what happened to him?

    G.... ....

    @Eman On He's fine, people said they seen him at pro Palestine marches. 

    The reason he gave was that he quit to study and that the "ego is a dangerous thing".

    Those reasons are probably true, but wouldn't doubt if the government had a part in it. They had raided his home, took Arabic writing and lyrics and then tried to put him in jail for 5 years.

    G.... ....

    if u look at this video at the end  of lowkeys verse .... it does seem that people are trying to kill him. I dont honsetly think its because of school he left or his ego, but like you said no facts so no 100% answer. Hopefully this isnt his last verse! LOWKEY#1

    G.... ....

    I saw him live 11 september
    He came back 2016

    G.... ....

    yeah i heard the new song as well. nice hearing after a long time

  83. r.... ....

    "...I haven't met a university graduate that knows even close to as much as I do."
    So you know everything about everything?

    r.... ....

    @Dakota Hudson

    "the brain isn't a brain
    brain isn't a brain
    isn't a brain
    brain"

    It's a brain.

    r.... ....

    Your statement verifies mine, because your response is typical and is a prime example of the self organizing intelligence of nature. Commonly we assume statements are false, because we do not understand them. Your ridicule was unnecessary, and displays your inconsiderate attitude as previously displayed when you attempted too project your insecurities into another person who wasn't as concise as you pleased.

    r.... ....

    You still are behaving arrogantly sir I suggest reading books that challenge your delicate grip of reality.

    r.... ....

    A brain isn't a brain; it's not my grip of reality that's slipping.

    r.... ....

    Your name explains your attitude as well as mine.

  84. L.... S....

    Simply to exist is what i wish, retirement or not, what i have written is timeless.

  85. H.... M....

    Lowkey is singing about reality not about stupid dumb things like cars and crap .i remember when I met you in manchester it was the best thing in my life it was an honour to meet someone like you there should be more people like lowkey then the world would be a better place 😊🌹

  86. S.... W....

    A zillion times better for the world than the usual U.S. selfish materialistic apolitical hiphop.

  87. p.... ....

    is this true? did guys actually try to gun down lowkey?

    p.... ....

    I think it's a metaphor

    p.... ....

    His house did get targeted though

  88. L.... D....

    I wish Lowkey will do more songs in 2014. He's one of a few rappers that rap about the truth. Not one of his songs doesn't have a message. He's someone I would like to listen instead of Illuminati people such as Rihanna who has daily radio plays, instead the radio stations should be playing songs with a meaning being not (for example) 'theres a monster under my bed.'

  89. m.... b....

    Where is lowkey :(

  90. d.... ....

    Tired of relying on people for food, water and power. Sick of knowing your money is funding these terrorists known as our western governments. Want a way out? Well my friends i personally think the best way to beat the system is by ignoring them like a screaming child. And in my opinion we ignore them by buying our own land and building sustainable homes look up what an earthship is i believe its the next evolutionary step for housing and humans. And for the record i'm not advertising i'm just a 19 year old lad from the western world who doesn't want this planet to die prematurely peace brothers and sisters. 

    d.... ....

    completly agree im only 15 as well

    d.... ....

    Happy 24th birthday ;)

  91. T.... P....

    It's rappers like lowkey logic & jaja & akala who really stand out to me. Their words and passion for music is truly underestimated by today's society. True 'rap' comes from the most unexpected places. I'd rather see people like this 'make it to the top' because they actually know how it feels to be trapped in the bottom.

  92. Z.... K....

    Wouldve been better with just lowkey and logic.. the hook is little annoying .. Still a sick track though

    Z.... K....

    its not about the track, or the instrumentals or the people singing it. its about the words they want us all to hear. this is the problem with people listening to music these days they only LISTEN they dont UNDERSTAND it, no disrespect to you but i just feel this needs to be said.

  93. M.... P....

    so sad and true I wish everyone was aware and not selfish

  94. 0.... R....

    lowkey needs to comeback and guide the lost youth

  95. D.... R....

    Lowkey,

             You can't stay in school forever. I'm expecting some amazing raps as usual when you finish your studies. Until then, study hard and never lose sight of your goal. Thank You for everything you have taught and showed me over the years, I'm truly grateful.

  96. s.... ....

    true that derek!1!peace and love brother

  97. C.... C....

    I could give a fuck about peoples drama here on youtube. this is some BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. Don't give up guys there is a brighter day ahead.
