So the first hook and verse is from the perspective of someone who is calling the hotline and
they want to commit suicide, they want to kill themselves, they want to end their life.
When I jumped on a tour bus that started in Los Angeles, California and I ended in New
York City and did a fan tour where I went to fans' houses and shared meals with them,
hung out with them, played them my album before it came out, them along with other people
on tour and fans that I've met randomly, they've said things like, yo, your music has
saved my life.
Like, you have saved my life.
And I was always like, eh, what do you think?
Oh, so nice of you, thanks.
And I give them a hug and shit, but in my mind I'm like, what the fuck?
And they're really serious and they're like, tat shit on their arms and get shit like lyrics
that save their life.
And in my mind I was like, man, I wasn't even trying to save nobody's life.
And then it hit me, the power that I have as an artist with a voice.
I wasn't even trying to save your life.
Now what could happen if I actually did?
[C]
[Em] And it's beyond just this song, it's the whole album.
What could happen if I took myself out of my comfort zone and made a whole album about
everybody and everybody's struggles, including my own, which is one that I've never done.
What if I silence my own fear and I say, I'm scared to talk about my race, I'm scared to
talk about [F#] the state of this country, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I'm going to persevere.
Man, how many lives could I really save then?
I've been on the low, I've been taking my time.
I feel like I'm out of my mind.
It feel like my life ain't mine.
I think it was just a record that was years in the making.
Who really wants to write a song about suicide?
It's hard.
But I was like, fuck it, I'm going to do it, I'm going to make the shit an anthem.
That's why it's like, I've been on the low, I've been taking my time.
It's a big, you hear it, who can relate?
I don't want to be alive, I don't want to be alive, I just want to die today.
I don't want to be alive, I don't want to be alive, I just want to die.
And I think it's a bit morbid at first, like, I don't want to be alive, I just want to die.
I just want to die.
Like fuck, oh shit.
But I had to write this because you can't sugarcoat it.
Everything's going to be alright, motherfucker, don't kill yourself.
Nah man, it's got to be like, yo fam, yeah, you want to take your life, you want to kill
yourself, you want to slit your wrists, you want to eat pills, you want to fucking shoot
yourself in the head and eat a bullet, you want to this, you want to that, and it fucking
sucks.
I've thought about killing myself, sure, a bunch of times.
But the thing is, I never, [Gm] I think about shit all the time.
I stand in line at the grocery store and I'm like, yo, what if I punch this cashier in
the face right now?
That's just like, that's human being, that's the shit we don't be talking about that we
all think, [A] you know what I mean?
But we be thinking that shit.
So I've thought about it, but I haven't never in my life that I ever think about actually
committing to act for real.
And hopefully I am never there, but I know a lot of people who have.
A lot of people very near and dear and close to my heart.
[G#] And because of that, I think that also served for inspiration for the song.
All this other shit I'm talking about, they think they know it.
I've been praying for somebody to say to me, no one's heroic.
And my life don't even matter, I know it, I know it, I know I'm hurting deep down but
can't show it.
For me, I feel like this line is something that really allows the listener to feel connected
because this is their outlet.
You know what I mean?
Like the song is the outlet.
You know, I'm hurting deep down but can't show it.
But like, Logic can help me show it, you know what I mean?
By playing this song, he's letting it be known to the entire world forever how I feel
in this moment.
And that's a scary thing, man, because think about all the people who will never hear this song.
But it's something that I feel like really needed to be said.
It is a bit dark, you know, even that, like I'm hurting deep down but I just can't show it.
Think about the people who actually do show it, but don't have anybody there that loves them enough.
That's another person who this song is for.
Their parents don't give a shit or they think they're going through a phase or they're older
in their life and it's like, I'm hurting, I'm hurting, like somebody help me.
Nobody gives a fuck, you know?
That's also why this song just being titled like 1-800 and that's how I refer to it is
amazing because hopefully they'll be able to be like, oh shit, I do feel this way.
This song is inspiring me.
Let me call somebody at this hotline and see if they can help me.
I never had a place to call my own.
I never had a home.
Ain't nobody calling my phone.
Where you been, where you at, what's on your mind?
They say every life precious but nobody cares about mine.
I want you to be alive, I want you to be alive.
You don't gotta die today, you don't gotta die.
I want you to be alive, I want you to be alive.
You don't gotta die.
Now, let me tell you why.
The second hook and verse is from the perspective of the operator on the other end of the line.
I want you to be alive.
Let me tell you why.
Here's all the reasons why you should continue to live.
I know where you been, where you are, where you're going.
I know you're the reason I believe in life.
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just trying to shed a little light.
It can be hard, it can be so hard, but you gotta live right now.
You've got everything to give right now.
Switching up the perspective in the second verse to me is everything because that's the
person going like, hey, this is not permanent.
The way you feel, it's okay, things will get better.
A lot of people, they'll be like, no it won't.
Sometimes on Twitter, I love to interact with fans, I love to interact with fans.
So I'll go on Twitter and I'll be like, what's positive in your life today?
Somebody will be like, nothing, fuck you.
Not even, but they'll just be like, nothing, my life sucks and it's so dreary.
I usually hit them with, oh, too bad.
Then I'll go on a fucking rant and be like, tell me what's [E] positive in your life.
Don't tell me this, that, I want to hear what's positive in your life.
Can you breathe, can you see, can you taste food, can you walk, can you this, can you that?
These are the things I want to hear, I want to know because I want you to appreciate them.
I appreciate them and I hope that you can truly appreciate them.
A lot of people, I have been there so much where we focus on the negativity of our situation.
I didn't ask you, tell me about the negative shit, I said, tell me about the positives.
I finally want to be alive, I finally want to be alive.
I don't want to die today, I don't want to die.
I finally want to be alive, I finally want to be alive.
I don't want to die, I don't want to die.
This is one of those songs where it took me a few months to do it and it didn't take a
few months because I wasn't inspired.
It's just such a hard [Em] song to do.
For me, I just didn't want to talk about this shit.
I didn't want to talk about half of the shit on this album, but this was a really, really
hard one so I made sure that I didn't rush it out.
Sometimes I'd be like, alright, I gotta finish this song and I'd go in and I'd just write
some crazy ass shit and I'd be like, fuck, I gotta do it.
The second verse in America, I wrote this shit in five minutes and was like, alright,
fuck it and I just did it.
This wasn't like that.
This was like, I have to take my time, I have to be patient because once again, this song
could potentially save people's lives so I'm not just going to go in and just, oh, this
shit is so hot.
Nah.
they want to commit suicide, they want to kill themselves, they want to end their life.
When I jumped on a tour bus that started in Los Angeles, California and I ended in New

I don't want to be alive, I don't want to be alive, I just want to die.
And I think it's a bit morbid at first, like, I don't want to be alive, I just want to die.
I just want to die.
Like fuck, oh shit.

[G#] And because of that, I think that also served for inspiration for the song.
All this other shit I'm talking about, they think they know it.
I've been praying for somebody to say to me, no one's heroic.
And my life don't even matter, I know it, I know it, I know I'm hurting deep down but
can't show it.
For me, I feel like this line is something that really allows the listener to feel connected
because this is their outlet.
You know what I mean?
Like the song is the outlet.
You know, I'm hurting deep down but can't show it.
But like, Logic can help me show it, you know what I mean?
By playing this song, he's letting it be known to the entire world forever how I feel
in this moment.
And that's a scary thing, man, because think about all the people who will never hear this song.
_ _ But it's something that I feel like really needed to be said.
It is a bit dark, you know, even that, like I'm hurting deep down but I just can't show it.
Think about the people who actually do show it, but don't have anybody there that loves them enough.
That's another person who this song is for.
Their parents don't give a shit or they think they're going through a phase or they're older
in their life and it's like, I'm hurting, I'm hurting, like somebody help me.
Nobody gives a fuck, you know?
That's also why this song just being titled like 1-800 and that's how I refer to it is
amazing because hopefully they'll be able to be like, oh shit, I do feel this way.
This song is inspiring me.
Let me call somebody at this hotline and see if they can help me.
I never had a place to call my own.
I never had a home.
Ain't nobody calling my phone.
Where you been, where you at, what's on your mind?
They say every life precious but nobody cares about mine.
I want you to be alive, I want you to be alive.
You don't gotta die today, you don't gotta die.
I want you to be alive, I want you to be alive.
You don't gotta die.
Now, let me tell you why.
The second hook and verse is from the perspective of the operator on the other end of the line.
I want you to be alive.
Let me tell you why.
Here's all the reasons why you should continue to live.
I know where you been, where you are, where you're going.
I know you're the reason I believe in life.
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just trying to shed a little light.
It can be hard, it can be so hard, but you gotta live right now.
You've got everything to give right now.
Switching up the perspective in the second verse to me is everything because that's the
person going like, hey, this is not permanent.
The way you feel, it's okay, things will get better.
A lot of people, they'll be like, no it won't.
Sometimes on Twitter, I love to interact with fans, I love to interact with fans.
So I'll go on Twitter and I'll be like, what's positive in your life today?
Somebody will be like, nothing, fuck you.
Not even, but they'll just be like, nothing, my life sucks and it's so dreary.
I usually hit them with, oh, too bad.
Then I'll go on a fucking rant and be like, tell me what's [E] positive in your life.
Don't tell me this, that, I want to hear what's positive in your life.
Can you breathe, can you see, can you taste food, can you walk, can you this, can you that?
These are the things I want to hear, I want to know because I want you to appreciate them.
I appreciate them and I hope that you can truly appreciate them.
A lot of people, I have been there so much where we focus on the negativity of our situation.
I didn't ask you, tell me about the negative shit, I said, tell me about the positives.
I finally want to be alive, I finally want to be alive.
I don't want to die today, I don't want to die.
I finally want to be alive, I finally want to be alive.
I don't want to die, I don't want to die.
This is one of those songs where it took me a few months to do it and it didn't take a
few months because I wasn't inspired.
It's just such a hard [Em] song to do.
For me, I just didn't want to talk about this shit.
I didn't want to talk about half of the shit on this album, but this was a really, really
hard one so I made sure that I didn't rush it out.
Sometimes I'd be like, alright, I gotta finish this song and I'd go in and I'd just write
some crazy ass shit and I'd be like, fuck, I gotta do it.
The second verse in America, I wrote this shit in five minutes and was like, alright,
fuck it and I just did it.
This wasn't like that.
This was like, I have to take my time, I have to be patient because once again, this song
could potentially save people's lives so I'm not just going to go in and just, oh, this
shit is so hot.
Nah. _ _ _ _
