| [00:00.760] |
Ayo real talk, 6ix |
| [00:02.570] |
As soon as you played me this joint I already knew |
| [00:04.010] |
Yo this some *******ing, Last Call ************ |
| [00:06.510] |
And it got me hella excited 'cause I always wanted to do like |
| [00:09.130] |
A Last Call, I remember the first time I heard Kanye's |
| [00:11.430] |
I thought that ************ was so tight dawg |
| [00:13.660] |
I was like, man I'm tryna tell my story, you know what I'm sayin' |
| [00:16.050] |
And then uh, I remember Cole did it, when did he do it? |
| [00:18.680] |
He was on Friday Night Lights? |
| [00:19.380] |
Nah nah, he did it on The Warm Up yo |
| [00:21.180] |
When he did the Last Call on The Warm Up I was like "Damn I'm tryna do mine |
| [00:24.480] |
So since this joint got that **** I'ma do my own Last Call right now for y'all |
| [00:28.440] |
And my voice is messed up too, this is the last track of Young Sinatra |
| [00:30.860] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [00:31.830] |
Back in the day I wasn't ************, homie |
| [00:33.950] |
Penny pinching I couldn't even pay the rent, homie |
| [00:36.580] |
Thinkin' 'bout it I'm wondering where the years went, homie |
| [00:39.290] |
Just a youngin' tryna survive, they was hatin' on me |
| [00:42.100] |
I was working that nine-to-five, I was waitin' homie |
| [00:44.860] |
I was bussin' tables fantasizin' 'bout cakin' homie |
| [00:47.580] |
Letting them slip away, my dreams wasn't waitin' on me |
| [00:50.310] |
This for anyone with ambition, calling anybody that'll listen |
| [00:53.500] |
I'm wishing all your dreams come true, 'cause mine did |
| [00:56.650] |
And yeah, you know I had to put that in the rhyme kit |
| [00:59.430] |
But that ************ came from sacrifice |
| [01:01.540] |
Not on the corner selling drugs and smackin' dice (listen) |
| [01:04.450] |
Yeah |
| [01:05.170] |
Someway somehow, I understood still finally |
| [01:08.840] |
If you want to come and get it you know where to find me |
| [01:11.140] |
'Cause I don't got no time for anyone that be tryin' me |
| [01:13.890] |
Know if they don't understand I'ma leave 'em behind me |
| [01:16.830] |
I'll be asleep |
| [01:19.190] |
I ain't got no time, no no |
| [01:21.620] |
I said I'll be asleep |
| [01:24.600] |
I said I don't got no time, no, no, no |
| [01:26.660] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:27.190] |
I treat the beat like it's my only son, my DNA |
| [01:29.910] |
And this that southern playeristic ************ like we was in the A |
| [01:32.520] |
Back in the day, I was young, broke and infamous |
| [01:35.180] |
A Young Sinatra that was undeniable |
| [01:37.000] |
Who welcomed you to forever while under pressure |
| [01:39.210] |
And told you The Incredible True Story of Bobby Tarantino |
| [01:42.520] |
And Everybody in the Ultra 85 |
| [01:44.600] |
Goddamn it feel good to be alive |
| [01:49.170] |
And all these ******* that I passed up |
| [01:50.880] |
Couldn't ******* witcha 'cause your hair was too gassed up |
| [01:53.600] |
'Member creeping with the gat, masked up |
| [01:55.850] |
Goddamn it's kinda crazy to reminisce on all this ************ man |
| [01:59.620] |
What it was like growing up. Damn man, just, mother*******ers running in and out of the crib, doing drugs, selling drugs, |
| [02:06.150] |
all types of stuff. Meanwhile, I was just tryna keep it together, I was tryna make sense-sense of all this ************ around me, |
| [02:11.050] |
I didn't know how to take it, how to perceive it, you know what I mean. |
| [02:13.240] |
And then meanwhile I'm supposed to be going to school and getting good grades and ************, |
| [02:16.370] |
but I'm seeing like, domestic violence in my house, and just, so much going on. |
| [02:20.870] |
And I'm sure everybody was probably like, damn, yo |
| [02:23.380] |
"Why little Bobby didn't come to school today?" |
| [02:25.740] |
On the real, I was doin' anything to run away |
| [02:28.490] |
And that's the same reason kids join gangs every day |
| [02:31.170] |
'Cause they wanna be accepted, but at home they too neglected |
| [02:33.890] |
Meanwhile, white america quick to call him a thug |
| [02:36.820] |
But all he ever wanted was a father to give him some love |
| [02:39.490] |
Tell him that he love him, that he need him |
| [02:41.300] |
Promise he won't ever leave him |
| [02:42.580] |
Never smoke crack, never lie, and he'll never beat him |
| [02:45.350] |
I feel like all my life I been needing a break |
| [02:47.980] |
Looking at my family, I ain't wanna make the same mistake |
| [02:50.710] |
And I know that ************ sound *******ed up but they not all doin' great |
| [02:53.300] |
Oh God please, can I have a conversation with 'em? |
| [02:56.410] |
Member of my family without they hand out asking for five G's |
| [02:59.850] |
To pay they bills or they lawyer fees (huh) |
| [03:02.210] |
I learned something, I ain't giving y'all a dime |
| [03:04.710] |
I'll give you something worth more, that's my time |
| [03:07.430] |
I ain't dropping stacks, I'm dropping knowledge |
| [03:09.510] |
Unless it's for my nieces and nephews to go to college |
| [03:12.200] |
And hit me on the phone, hit me up |
| [03:13.890] |
Like "Uncle Bob, where you at? |
| [03:15.350] |
Yeah I know your pockets fat but I don't give a ******* 'bout that |
| [03:18.260] |
I'm glad we family" (uh) |
| [03:20.450] |
We a half breed family, yeah, yeah, uh |
| [03:24.420] |
Man see I remember when I was like fifteen years old and my dad took me to the studio |
| [03:27.760] |
--I know this is random I'm just trying to take you guys through it, right. |
| [03:30.230] |
And, I'll never forget it I had like eight rhyme books--he'll tell you, he'll tell you man, I just, |
| [03:35.460] |
I went through them mother*******ers I was rapping for like fifteen minutes straight. And that was my first time yo, |
| [03:40.240] |
I was like tenth grade, in the studio, and I knew that this was what I wanted to do. |
| [03:44.360] |
I knew it |
| [03:45.170] |
I knew it ever since I first saw Kill Bill |
| [03:47.800] |
I been flowin' like that blood, Uma Thurman spill |
| [03:50.470] |
None other than the RZA, yeah he did the soundtrack |
| [03:53.220] |
And then I discovered Wu-Tang soon as I found that |
| [03:55.860] |
And then Big L, Mos Def, and Nas, there ain't no turning back |
| [03:58.960] |
Couldn't change it if I tried, homie, how 'bout that |
| [04:01.440] |
See I'm a student of the game, so simple and plain |
| [04:04.640] |
But I'ma to take it back to before I ever sat first class on a plane |
| [04:08.810] |
I was in College Park, right. Well I guess technically, if you wanna go before that, I was uh, |
| [04:13.080] |
I was living in Germantown, |
| [04:15.020] |
uh no actually it was in Montgomery Village, |
| [04:16.620] |
back in Maryland I was living in my sister's ba*******t. |
| [04:18.740] |
And some ************ happened, you know, |
| [04:20.170] |
she kicked me out, it was Christmas, whatever I love you Genie. Anyway, |
| [04:23.100] |
so ************ happened, and then I just kept it pushing. |
| [04:25.730] |
You know, I was homeless for a little while, |
| [04:27.210] |
whatever, you know, I went, uh, |
| [04:28.230] |
I stayed at my mentor's house, Solomon, |
| [04:30.450] |
and I stayed back at my Godparent's house, Mary Jo and Bernie, |
| [04:34.630] |
I love ya'll. Uh, Mary Jo, I'm sorry back when I used to smoke, |
| [04:37.260] |
I would steal the ************ out of your cigarettes, I love you, |
| [04:39.720] |
I'm sorry about that. But, you remember, |
| [04:42.140] |
always you would let me record, |
| [04:43.560] |
I'd always be recording in the attic or wherever I could so, I love you, |
| [04:47.020] |
I thank you for supporting me there. |
| [04:48.310] |
But then, she was like, "you gotta get the ******* outta here" too, after a while, |
| [04:51.680] |
she gave me some time, but like, |
| [04:53.450] |
I was twenty years old at this point. |
| [04:55.110] |
She was like, "nah, you gotta get the ******* outta here and do something with your life." |
| [04:58.030] |
And this was right around the time |
| [04:59.260] |
I opened my first show ever for Ghostface Killah man, in Gaithersburg, |
| [05:04.240] |
right in Old Town, the ************ was insane, |
| [05:06.230] |
I'll never forget it, and that's where I met my boy Lenny, Big Lenbo, wassup! |
| [05:10.600] |
That's right man, we just started kicking it and hanging, he lived in College Park and before I, |
| [05:13.740] |
before I knew it I was living with him in his ba*******t. |
| [05:16.460] |
And this is right around the time I met 6ix, |
| [05:18.720] |
and 6ix was going to the University of Maryland at the time, |
| [05:21.430] |
which is right down the street. So I'd always go to their dorm room, |
| [05:24.700] |
I remember there was nights I would just crash in the dorm when we was making beats. |
| [05:28.210] |
We was doing all types of ************ man, |
| [05:29.590] |
when we first got out we did the first Young Sinatra, |
| [05:32.050] |
and now we on the fourth Young Sinatra mother*******er that ************ is crazy man. |
| [05:35.500] |
And I remember like, |
| [05:36.370] |
I used to steal quarters from Lenny just so I could go to the 7-11 to eat and he was like, |
| [05:40.750] |
"you idiot why are you stealing, just ask me bro," |
| [05:42.960] |
and I was supposed to get a job, |
| [05:44.150] |
I was sleeping in, uh, his ba*******t on the couch, |
| [05:47.700] |
which is the cover to my first album, |
| [05:49.850] |
Under Pressure, shout out Cathy, |
| [05:51.230] |
shout out the Rosado family, |
| [05:52.550] |
all my beautiful brown people! We made it, |
| [05:55.970] |
it's crazy, but nah nah, listen, |
| [05:57.790] |
I'm getting ahead of myself, |
| [05:58.360] |
I'm getting ahead of myself. |
| [05:59.210] |
So like, I was staying with him and I was supposed to get a job, right? |
| [06:02.400] |
And he was like, "Yo, you gotta get a *******ing job bro." |
| [06:05.200] |
Things were going so good with the music that we kinda stopped talking about it, |
| [06:08.150] |
it seemed like every week something new was happening, |
| [06:10.340] |
and I just sat him down one day and I was like, |
| [06:11.640] |
"Look bro, please, like, can you just give me one year, |
| [06:15.750] |
like just give me one year, man, |
| [06:17.340] |
let me put everything into that year. |
| [06:19.240] |
And if I don't get it, ******* it, I'll just submit, |
| [06:21.360] |
and I'll just blend into society." |
| [06:23.680] |
And he was like, "Bro I'ma give you one year," |
| [06:25.320] |
and for one year him, |
| [06:26.100] |
his family, all his homies, Benny, everybody man! |
| [06:28.940] |
They took care of me, they put, |
| [06:30.290] |
he put clothes on my back, he put food in my stomach, |
| [06:33.280] |
you know he helped me with microphones, |
| [06:35.560] |
and recording, and yo, |
| [06:36.420] |
almost a year to the *******ing day bro, |
| [06:39.370] |
I signed to Def Jam. And my man, |
| [06:41.400] |
he was a land surveyor, |
| [06:42.710] |
out there making sure all the buildings get built, |
| [06:45.040] |
rain, snow, sleet, all that ************ for twelve years dawg! |
| [06:49.710] |
And when I signed my deal I said, |
| [06:51.030] |
"******* that! Quit your job, we're moving to LA!" |
| [06:54.380] |
That ************ was crazy, so we get to LA, |
| [06:56.130] |
we're staying off Coldwater Canyon. |
| [06:58.080] |
Alta Mesa, in studio city man, |
| [07:00.370] |
and I'm going to the studio with No I.D. every day, |
| [07:03.520] |

That's when I first met Kev, Bobby my engineer, |
| [07:16.490] |

| [07:19.530] |
I dropped Young Sinatra Undeniable, |
| [07:22.080] |
and that was crazy, that was insane, |
| [07:24.440] |
'cause that was the first time |
| [07:26.400] |
Me and my boys ever hit the road |
| [07:28.350] |
On the real you know we went from zero to overload |
| [07:31.080] |
Performing in front of the fans, they had their hands waving |
| [07:34.040] |
This is all I ever wanted, this is all I'm craving |
| [07:36.820] |
Me and my boy Chris shot the game |
| [07:38.750] |
Two visionaries on a mission, ************ ain't been the same |
| [07:41.390] |
Some ups and downs came around, had a lot of problems |

But no matter what happened you know we always solve 'em |
| [07:47.350] |

continue to be the best you you can be, |
| [08:32.600] |
'cause I'm here right now man, best friends. |

and you got goals deep down, that's great, |
| [08:41.350] |
but ******* that ************, I'm so happy, I'm so blessed man. |
| [08:44.320] |
So if you listening to this right now, |
| [08:45.910] |
no matter how old you are, how young you are, |
| [08:48.930] |
whether you on a school bus headed to get your education, |
| [08:51.970] |

"Oh I would do this but," or "I can't because," |
| [09:01.870] |
and you already *******ing lost, they lost, |
| [09:03.780] |
and I felt bad for that person 'cause that person will never make it. |
| [09:06.700] |
"I would, but I don't have the money," |
| [09:08.510] |
"I would, but I don't have the time, |
| [09:09.870] |
" ******* that, you gotta do it man, |
| [09:11.120] |
you gotta do what makes you happy, |
| [09:13.260] |
you have to live selfishly in that aspect. |
| [09:15.740] |
Stop worrying about others, stop freaking out, |
| [09:18.190] |
just focus on yourself man, |
| [09:19.820] |
and your own happiness, that's the realest thing. |
| [09:22.170] |
And that's all I can tell you, |
| [09:23.180] |
because you can't help anyone else until you help yourself, |
| [09:26.750] |
you know what I'm saying. |
| [09:27.350] |
So please, put the mask on first, |
| [09:29.960] |
