And I said:

am                   G

       D                              C            E
  But that's not how I felt when the logick went away yeah
A-G-D-E
        And she said, "So what's your story, girl?"

Well, I come from a country white and black
They put sixteen candles in my pocket
And said, "Don't you come back."
While I was 
Taken in  stakin out my high ground
Well somethin snuck up from behind yeah
(Occupied my mind)
But now break it down
Iterate  Resolve
Debate 
Formulate and back it with a beat
And I'll prove it with my body and I'll prove it with my feet yeah

Break time, there's no need to dodge it
Takes a little bit of magick
  and a little bit of logick
So take mine to build up your song with,
 So long as what you're singin's something
   I can sing along with
Shake it down, she's talkin knda tragick
Like, "Whatcha gonna do with logick
  "When you can't control your magick?"
Well break it down, 'tseasy enough for you to say
  But that's not how I felt when the logick went away yeah


Shake it out
The stars are runnin naked
But no matter how they scatter, girl, you
Leave it as you take it so
Take mine to build up your song with
So long as what you're singin's something
I can sing along with


Break it up
Don't give me all your static;
The thought is where your heart is and the
Change is automatic
So make it up
'Seasy enough for you to say,
But that's not how I felt the day the
Logick went away
