Background: Louis Logic
Don't judge him by his looks. Louis Logic is one of the best lyricists I've ever heard, with clever punchlines that make my jaw drop, and effortlessly pulls off complex multies in his bars. He has a total of two albums under his belt, both of which are excellent, and highly recommended. Still relatively underground, too, so I hope you like what you hear today.
The Track: Idiot Gear, from the Sin-A-Matic album
The intro is a little long, but keep listening!
The versions on youtube weren't high enough quality, so instead...

"And then 4 months down the road the idiot gear kicks in,
and I ask about the ex-boyfriend which,
as we all know is a really dumb move but you know how it is --
you don't want to know, but you just have to know, right?
You know, stupid guy bullshit."
This snippet I've posted is the intro to the track, which sort of explains the concept, or theme. As some of you might have done in a relationship, you end up asking about the ex-boyfriend, and the reprecussions/feelings stemming from this discussion are something Louis tackles in the track. Logic has a knack for really exposing the raw side of relationships (has alot of love related tracks, each from a different angle), and that's one of the reasons why I really like him. Really relatable, not to mention a great lyricist.
But have no fear, guys...

And I'm convinced of this: being your queen's only king
Yo man see Louis right -- ignorance is bliss
