[Logic - Last Call lyrics]
As soon as you played me this joint
I already knew
I was like, "Yo, this some fucking
'Last Call' shit"
And it got me hella excited 'cause
I always wanted to do like a "Last Call
" I remember the first time I heard Kanye's
I thought that shit was so tight, dawg
And I was like, man I'm tryna tell my story
You know what I'm sayin'?
And then uh, I remember Cole did it
When did he do it? He was on Friday Night
Nah, nah, he did it on The Warm Up yo
And when he did the "Last Call" on
The Warm Up, I was like "Damn
I'm tryna do mine"
So since since this joint got that vibe
I'ma do my own "Last Call"
Right now for y'all
And my voice is messed up too
This is the last track of Young Sinatra
Yeah, yeah
Back in the day I wasn't shit, homie
Penny pinchin', I couldn't even pay the rent
Homie thinkin' 'bout it I wonder
Where them years went, homie
Just a youngin' tryna survive
They was hatin' on me
I was working that nine-to-five
I was waitin', homie
I was bussin' tables
Fantasizin' 'bout cakin', homie
Letting 'em slip away my dreams
Wasn't waitin' on me
This for anyone with ambition
Calling anybody that'll listen
I'm wishing all your dreams come true
'cause mine did and yeah
You know I had to put that in the rhyme kit
But that shit came from sacrifice
Not on the corner selling
Drugs and smackin' dice (Listen)
Yeah
Someway, somehow, I understood finally
If you want to come and get it
You know where to find me
'Cause I ain't got no time for
Anybody that be tryin' me
Know if they don't understand
I'ma leave 'em behind me obviously
I ain't got no time, no, no i said obviously
I said I don't got no time, no, no, no, no
No
Yeah, yeah
I treat the beat like it's my only son
My DNA
And this that Southernplayalistic shit like
We was in the A
Back in the day, I was Young
Broke & Infamous
A Young Sinatra that was Undeniable
Who Welcome-d you To Forever
While Under Pressure
And told you The Incredible True
Story of Bobby Tarantino
And Everybody in the Ultra 85
Goddamn, it feel good to be alive
And all these bitches that I passed up
Couldn't fuck witcha 'cause your hair
Was too gassed up
'Member creeping with the gat, masked up
God damn, it's kinda crazy to reminisce on
All this shit man
What it was like growing up damn man, just
Motherfuckers running in and out of the crib
Doing drugs, selling drugs
All types of stuff
Meanwhile, I was just tryna keep it together
I was tryna make sense sense of
All this shit around me
I didn't know how to take
It, how to perceive it
You know what I mean?
And then meanwhile I'm supposed
To be going to
School and getting good grades and shit
But I'm seeing like
Domestic violence in my house
And just, so much going on
And I'm sure everybody was
Probably like, "Man, yo"
"Why little Bobby didn't come
To school today?"
On the real, I was doin' anything to run away
And that's the same reason kids
Join gangs every day
'Cause they wanna be accepted
But at home they too neglected
Meanwhile, white America quick to
Call him a thug but all he ever wanted was a
Father to give him some love
Tell him that he love him, that he need him
Promise he won't ever leave him
Never smoke crack, never lie
And won't never beat him
It feel like for my life
I been needed a break looking at my family
I ain't wanna make the same mistake
And I know that shit sound fucked up
But they not all doin' great oh God, please
Can I have a conversation with a member of my
Family without it ending asking
Me for five G's?
To pay they bills or they lawyer fees (Huh)
I learned something
I ain't giving y'all a dime
I'll give you something worth
More that's my time i ain't dropping stacks
I'm dropping knowledge
Unless it's for my nieces and
Nephews to go to college
And hit me on the phone, hit me up
Like, "Uncle Bob, where you at?
Yeah, I know your pockets fat but I
Don't give a fuck 'bout that
I'm glad we family" (Uh)
We a half-breed family, yeah, yeah, uh
Man, see
I remember when I was like fifteen years old
And my dad took me to the studio
I know this is random, I'm tryna
Take you guys through it, right?
And, I'll never forget it
I had like eight rhyme books
He'll tell you he'll tell you, man
I just, I went through them motherfuckers
I was rapping for like
Fifteen minutes straight
And that was my first time, yo
I was like tenth grade, in the studio
And I knew that this was what I wanted to do
I knew it
I knew it ever since I first saw Kill Bill
I been flowin' like that blood
Uma Thurman spilled none other than the RZA
Yeah he did the soundtrack
And then I discovered Wu Tang
Soon as I found that
And then Big L, Mos Def, and Nas
It wasn't no turning back
I couldn't change it if I tried, homie
How 'bout that?
See, I'm a student of the game
So simple and plain
But I'ma take it back to before I
Ever sat first class on a plane
I was in College Park, right?
Well I guess, technically
If you wanna go before that
I was uh, I was living in Germantown
Uh, nah, actually it was Montgomery Village
Back in Maryland
I was living in my sister's basement
And then some shit happened, you know
She kicked me out
It was Christmas, whatever, I love you Genie
Anyway, so shit happened
And then I just kept it pushing
You know, I was homeless for
A little while, whatever, you know
I went, uh, I stayed at my my mentor's house
Solomon uh, and then I stayed back
At my my godparents' house
Mary Jo and Bernie, I love y'all
Uh, Mary Jo, I'm sorry
Back when I used to smoke
I would steal the shit out of your cigarettes
I love you, I'm sorry about that, but
You remember always she would let me record
I'd always be recording in the
Attic or wherever I could, so
I love you thank you for supporting me there
But then, she was like
"You gotta get the fuck outta here" too
After a while, she gave me some time
But like
I was twenty years old at this point
She was like, "Nah
You gotta get the fuck outta here
And do something with your life"
And this was right around the
Time that I opened up my first show ever
For Ghostface Killah man
In Gaithersburg, right in Old Town
The shit was insane, I'll never forget it
And that's where I met my
Boy Lenny, Big Lenbo, wassup!?
That's right, man
We just started kicking it and hanging
He lived in College Park
And before I knew it I was living I
Was living with him in his basement
And this was right around the time I met 6ix
And 6ix was going to the University
Of Maryland at the time
Which was right down the street
So I'd always go to their dorm room
I remember there was nights
I would just crash
In the dorm when we was making beats
We was doing all types of shit man
When we first got out
We did the first Young Sinatra
And now we on the fourth Young Sinatra
Motherfucker! That shit is crazy man
And I remember like
I used to steal quarters from Lenny just so
I could go to the 7-11 to eat
And he was like, "You idiot, why
Are you stealing? Just ask me, bro" And I
Was supposed to get a job, I was
See, I was sleeping in, uh
His basement on the couch
Which is the the, the cover
To my first album, under Pressure
Shout out Cathy, shout out the Rosado family
All my beautiful brown people!
We made it, it's crazy
But nah, nah, listen, I'm
Getting ahead of myself
I'm getting ahead of myself
So like, I was staying with him and
I was supposed to get a job, right?
And he was like, "Yo, you
Gotta get a fucking job, bro"
Things were going so good with the music
That we kinda stopped talking about it
It seemed like every week
Something new was happening
And I just sat him down one
Day and I was like, "Look
Bro, I please, like, can you
Just give me one year, like
Just give me one year, man, let
Me put everything into this
And if I don't get it
Fuck it, I'll just submit
And I'll just I'll just blend into society"
And he was like, "Bro I'ma give you one year"
And for one year him, his
Family, all the homies, Benny
Everybody man!
They took care of me, they put
He put clothes on my back
He put food in my stomach
You know, he helped me with microphones
And recording
And yo, almost a year to the fucking day bro
I signed to Def Jam
And my man, he was a land surveyor
Out there like making sure all
The buildings get built
Rain, snow, sleet, all that
Shit for twelve years, dawg!
And when I signed my deal I
Said, "Fuck that! Quit your job
We're moving to LA!"
This shit was crazy, so we get to LA
We're staying off Coldwater Canyon
Alta Mesa, in Studio City, man
And I'm going to the studio
With No ID every day
And uhh, like, shit is crazy
That's the first time I met
Cole, yo shout out Cole
That's my fucking boy
Big Sean, all these homies, man, that I met
It was crazy don Cannon, everybody
That's when I first met Kev
Bobby, my engineer what up Bobby?
It was just like, life was insane
I dropped, uh, Young Sinatra: Undeniable
And that was crazy that was insane
'cause that was the first time
Me and my boys ever hit the road
On the real
You know we went from zero to overload
Performing in front of the fans
Had they hands waving
This is all I ever wanted
This is all I'm craving
Me and my boy Chris shocked the game
Two visionaries on a mission
Shit ain't been the same
Some ups and downs came around
Had a lot of problems
But no matter what happen
You know we'd always solve 'em
Yeah, we'd always solve 'em, like
Man, it's kinda crazy thinking
About it though
Like, so much has happened yo
And I mean shit, by the
Time y'all are hearing this, i'm 28
I'm 27 while I'm recording it
I mean, right now, literally, I'm working
On Bobby Tarantino, Ultra 85
Young Sinatra IV
And a whole bunch of other shit
Man this is crazy! Acting, writing, like
I'm just I'm just so, I
Can't believe I'm here, man
We grinded for so long, we
Worked for so long, yo
And motherfuckers, they hate you, man
They try to make me feel
Bad about how I look, how I speak
How I rap, how I act, my race, my everything
They just they they fucking hate you man
They'll hate you when you're in this position
But you can't let 'em you can't let 'em
You can't let that shit get to you man
Continue to persevere
Continue to be the best you you
Can be 'Cause I'm here right now man
Best friends
I got everything I could ever want man
Even though you always want more deep down
And you got goals deep
Down, that's great man, but fuck that shit
I'm so happy, I'm so blessed, man
So if you're listening to this right now
No matter how old you are, how young you are
Whether you on the school bus
Headed to get your education
Or you driving home from work
Pissed off at your boss just, man
Just please do what you love in life
So many people, they always say
How, "Oh, you know
I would do this but, " or "I can't, because"
And you already fucking lost, they lost
And I feel bad for that person
'cause that person will never make
It "I would, but I don't have
The money, " "I would
But I don't have the time"
Fuck that, you gotta do it man
You gotta do what makes you happy
You have to live selfishly in that aspect
Stop worrying about others, stop freaking out
Just focus on yourself, man
And your own happiness
That's the realest thing
And that's all I can tell you, because
You can't help anybody else until
You can help yourself
You know what I'm saying?
So please, put the put the mask on
First, like they say on the airplane, cuz
Put your put your own motherfucking mask on
And go do it man
Go do it, just live your life
I love y'all, thank you so much for tuning in
Uh, I hope you've enjoyed
This Young Sinatra experience, i know I have
Uh, this is prolly gon' be
The last one though
Uh, this gon' be the last one for sure
