| [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? |

| [00:36.580] | 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 |

| [01:24.600] | 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, |
