conversations.value: Write me a song called Take It Back with the following description: On “Take It Back” Logic speaks mainly about his life experiences. He explains his childhood and how it made him become the person he is today.
  Despite being subjected to racism and growing up in a negative environment, Logic persevered and carried his own to make it this far in life.
  Logic also wants peace between all people and nothing else. At the end of the speech on this track, he says:
  You can believe you’re superior. Fine. Just stop killing each other.
  This song was initially teased on Logic’s Instagram story and then later teased on the album trailer and Bradley Martyn’s YouTube channel soon after.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Logic also mentioned how this track wasn’t supposed to have a verse via Twitter:
  
  
  
   Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first black man
  Long ago before the white man
  Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first white man
  At the very moment when they looked around and said
  "Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way way back to the first black man
  Long ago before the white man
  Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first white man
  At the very moment when they looked around and said
  "Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
  [Verse 1]
  Everybody wanna tell me what I am, what I am not
  "You ain't black, you a mothafuckin' white boy
  Shut ya mouth, do it right boy, a'ight boy?
  Man, why you such a hype boy?"
  "Why you always talk about being black?
  Skin too white, nigga fuck that"
  Everything you talk about, cut that
  That door you trying to open, you could shut that
  Grip the gat, yeah that’s how I’ma buck back
  Tell me what I am and what I know now
  All this prejudice has got to go
  Life is moving fast, it need to slow down
  Come and see me when I am in yo' town
  Practice what we preach before it go down
  Practice what we preach before it go
  Yes, I got the gift to gab fo sho
  Will I have to get the gat? No, no
  Yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
  But will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the?
  Masta deep down inside of me
  The plantation deep down inside of me
  Everybody fuck like sodomy
  'Cause one or the other what it gotta be
  Tell me why my momma gotta lie to me
  Unity for everyone that lied to me
  Peace on Earth what I try to be
  I just wanna spread the message of equality
  And yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
  Will I have to get the gat? No, no
  Yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
  But will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the gat? [Chorus]
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first black man
  Long ago before the white man
  Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first white man
  At the very moment when they looked around and said
  "Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way way back to the first black man
  Long ago before the white man
  Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way way back to the first white man
  At the very moment when they looked around and said
  "Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
  [Outro]
  Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to about 1990
  Shady Grove Hospital in Rockville, Maryland
  7:36 a.m., where a biracial baby was born
  To a black father and a white mother
  Father that wasn’t there
  Addicted to crack cocaine, alcohol, and various other drugs
  Same as his mom
  (Way, way back)
  So I’m gonna tell you about that, right?
  And I’m gonna tell you about how
  All this young boy ever wanted was happiness
  All he ever wanted was positivity
  All he ever wanted to do was entertain
  And this boy went through hell
  You gotta understand, his mother was racist, which is crazy
  'Cause how in the fuck is you gonna have
  All these black babies with black men but you racist
  Like bitch, that don’t make no sense, but it is what it is
  You know, he grew up, her callin' him a nig
  ger
  The kids at school callin' him a cracker
  Identifying as black, looking as white
  Being told what you can or can’t be
  This kid went through everything
  He went through...
  He saw narcotics in the household
  Violence, murderers, drug dealers, he was kidnapped
  There was crazy shit that happened to this kid
  And he persevered while the whole world said
  What they said?
  Said you wouldn’t be shit!
  You ain’t gon' be nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
  Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothing
  And I, and he, he said fuck that, I’ma persevere
  And that’s why the message is always peace, love and positivity
  See, he always saw things from two sides
  He always saw things from two sides
  He always knew that the message
  Everybody was born equal
  Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation
  He knew that because he saw that
  (Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way)
  Because he was stripped and torn down
  By his black brothers and sisters that were uneducated
  And that did not know
  And he was stripped and he was torn down
  By his white side that did not know
  These people that are ignorant
  That cannot see the bigger picture
  That must fight and kill and murder each other
  But once again, all he ever wanted to do
  Was spread a message of equality
  For every man, woman, and child
  Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation
  (Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first)
  Now imagine this child growing up
  And seeing the craziest shit
  Being a part of the craziest shit
  Running around with the wrong people
  Running around with guns and knives
  And fighting and stealing and, and all this
  Because he didn’t know, he didn’t know!
  But he knew deep down in his heart that it wasn’t right
  And he knew that he needed to get away from it
  Now I want you to also imagine, that at 17 years old
  This child, okay, leaves home and gets two jobs to support himself
  Two jobs that he works in the morning and the evenings
  And then he would then come home
  To about eight or nine hours of sleep
  But spend four, five, six hours of that
  Working on music, persevering
  Grabbing the remote control and looking in the mirror
  And pretending to see thousands and thousands and thousands of people
  Just chanting his name
  Hoping that it would happen
  But the, but the, but the world said no!
  Mothafucka, little mothafucka no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
  Ya nigga, ya cracka, ya white boy, ya black mothafucka
  No-no!
  (Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first)
  And he said fuck that
  He said peace, love, and positivity
  He said equality for all man
  Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation, yeah
  Now I want you to also imagine
  People telling him that he did not live this life
  “You just a white boy
  You ain’t never experienced that shit
  You from Gaithersburg, Maryland, nothing happens there
  Oh no, no, we know, we weren’t there
  We didn’t live with you, we didn't live in your Section 8 household
  We didn’t live with the narcotics and violence in your household
  We just saw it from the outside, outside, outside, outside
  Outside, outside, outside, outside
  And since you white, you gotta have money, right?”
  (Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first black man)
  And this young man persevered in spite
  Of what people told him he was, wasn’t, and would never be
  (Take it back, take it way back
  Take it way, way back to the first black)
  And that man is here today, proud
  A lover of all human beings
  Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, sexual orientation, yeah, yeah
  And he’s here to say:
  Even though we’re all born and created equal
  We are not treated equally
  There’s extremists on every side
  And you should just do your best to live life
  And let other people believe whatever they wanna believe
  As long as they’re not hurtin' anybody
  You can believe they’re going to hell
  You can believe it’s not right
  You can believe you’re superior, fine
  Just stop killing each other
