Logic - Waiting Room Lyrics

Atom: So, we waiting for what?
God: Excuse me?
Atom: So you sittin here telling me
this place is a waiting room, right?
What are we waiting for?
God: Rebirth
Atom: Rebirth? Like reincarnation?
God: If that's what you wanna call it
Atom: What the fuck you mean
“If that's what I wanna call it? ”
Either this is what it is, or this is what it ain't
God: Sure
Atom: Chu mean? Ugh, this mothafucka
Atom: A'ight, lemme get this straight
every time I die, I come here, we talk
and you send me back to earth to be reborn?
God: You know the last time we had this conversation
it was in mandarin and you were 13
Atom: Mandarin?
God: And a girl
Atom: What? Nah, bruh, you fuckin' wit' me
Like, Jesus Christ
God: He was here too
Atom: What? Wait, wait, so the Christians got it right?
God: Well I'm about to reincarnate you, Atom
I'd say everyone kinda got it right
Atom: This is a whole lot to take in
God: I know. Trust me, I've been there
Atom: So, how many times have I been reincarnated?
God: Many, many, many, many, many times
Atom: If it's so many times, why don't I remember?
God: If we stayed here long enough
the lives you have lived, and the knowledge
from each of them would return
Atom: What?
God: I'm actually about to send you back to 1736
as Bryan Fairfax, the 8th lord Fairfax of Cameron
Atom: Word, ayy, that sounds important
God: Oh, yes. You own 40, 000 acres
Atom: Goddamn! Oh, I'm sorry
God: Ha, it's quite alright
Atom: Well, at least I'm not poor no more
God: Well, sure. With all that land
and the hundreds of slaves you'll own
Atom: Slaves? Aw, hell nah!
No, no, no, no, look, look, look
how you gonna take a black man
send him back in time, and now I gotta own slaves?
God: Well, if it's any consolation, your son
Tom, the 9th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, sets them free
Atom: No! That does not make me feel better at all
Wait, hold up, I just realized you said
you're gonna send me back in time?
God: Well, I'm not really sending you back in time
That doesn't exist where I come from, only in your universe
Atom: Well, where are you from?
God: Honestly, Atom, even if I explained where I came from
or told you about the others like me
you just wouldn't understand
Atom: But if there's others like you, how can you be god?
God: Atom, I said you wouldn't understand
Atom: So what's the point of doing all this?
God: Really?
Atom: What?
God: A little cliche, don't you think?
Essentially asking me the meaning of life
Atom: Well, I figured I would ask
before you send me back
and I can't remember none of this
God: Atom, come here
The meaning of life, the reason I created this place
is so that you can grow and mature
Atom: Like the human race?
Like this is how the human race is supposed
to grow and mature? Mature into what?
We can't even get along
God: No, Atom, you! It's for you, you to mature
Atom: I don't understand
God: I created this place for you, Atom
This entire place was made for you
Every time I send you back, every life you live
you grow and mature
and understand the grand meaning
behind all of this just a little more each time
Atom: Just me? Wait, what about everybody else?
God: Atom, there is no one else
Atom: I don't understand
God: Atom, you are every human being
who has ever existed since the dawn of your kind on earth
Atom: Wait, I'm everyone?
God: Ah yes, now you are beginning to see it
Atom: So I'm like, everyone that ever existed on Earth, ever?
God: Earth? Ha, that's cute
Earth was just your birthplace
Let us not forget all the stars humanity
will colonize over the millennia
Atom: Wait, that is so much
Too much to take in
I'm every human being that ever lived?
God: Or ever will live, yes
Atom: I'm Jesus?
God: And all of his disciples
Atom: I'm Hitler?
God: And the millions he murdered
Atom: That's deep
God: You see Atom
every act of hatred and violence
you committed against another
you were committing against yourself
and every act of love and hand of kindness
you also extended unto yourself
Atom: God, why do all this?
God: Someday, long from now, you will become like me
You will mature to become what I am
Atom: I'm a god?
God: No, not yet
You see, I was once where you stand right now
It is not until you have lived every human life
inside of your universe
that I may take you from this place
Once you have walked in the shoes of every race
religion, gender, sexual orientation
loving and hateful person
it is only then that you will understand
how precious life truly is
