“Theme For The People” was first heard in a Logic stream on August 8th, 2020. In the livestream, Bobby was playing music he debated about ever releasing. This verse was also seen again in early 2021 in a snippet of an unreleased/throwaway MadGic track.

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse]
This a new generation
Switch up the style, I'm regeneratin'
I be talkin' to God when I'm hearin' Satan
I'm a black man but pass like a Michael, Payton
Why you think I made Everybody? It's a statement, a way of life
Black is beautiful but today, in this day and age
A crooked cop will take away your life
Come now, that shit ain't no way of life
Know some people make music, but I make a statement
And use it when people feel like they gon' lose it, yeah
Why the fuck do you think
Whеn it comes to an album, I'm dropping like two a year?
Hold up, lеt me break down what I'm doing here
I get introspective on a record with a message deep in the lyrics
But after a while, that shit get depressin', they don't wanna hear it
They just wanna turn up so that's when I come back
On that Bobby Tarantino, countin' money, sippin' Vino shit
It's how we stay relevant to the young
I mean I'd rather be rappin' on breaks
But whatever it takes to get to the young
I ain't mad at the fact when I rap over 808's
With the hat, it make me millions, peep the brilliance like, uh
I grew up on Biggie and GZA
But Roddy was bumping that Future and Thug
Give a fuck how you came up
I run up like ten out of ten just to show you some love
Man, as long as you rappin' and killin' shit
Fuck a car, Black man own a dealership
Fuck a record label, fuck a deal and shit
Keep killin' shit, keep
At the crib watchin' Bebop
Writing rhymes in my book and I'm bumpin' that heat rock
Shit smooth, word to Pete Rock
I can't fuck with my phone, need to detox
So I pick up the Glock like I'm John Wick
Yes, I'm in it for life like a convict
When I switch up the style, wonder who this
No ceilings like Wayne in '09, bitch, I'm roofless
Logic released Theme for the People on Fri Jul 30 2021.
