From the stage he’s looking down upon his fans wondering how he’s that much different than them because just a couple years ago he was the same as them, just a regular person.

Note the homophones in Logic’s pronunciation: “How come I ain’t in the crowd at they show, seeing them?” can be heard as “How come I ain’t in the crowd on Today Show, CNN?”

He’s similarly rapped about this on his February 2012 song, “The Spotlight,” where on the second verse, he raps:

The grind never stops, like I’m running from the cops
It’s hard to stay humble when you’re force-fed props
But I don’t give a damn, I am just a man
I am not more important than any one of my fans

“What’s the difference between me and them?” could be a reference to the hook from Dr. Dre’s song “What’s the Difference.” The flow of both lines are very similar, aside from the words.
