[Intro]
~#**************#~
Logics favorite Quentin Tarantino movie is Once—
~#**************#~
[Verse]
~#**************#~
Ayo, uh, one, two, three, four
~#**************#~
Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir
~#**************#~
Peep the lore, cinematic metaphor
~#**************#~
Nine years since I did The Incredible True Story
~#**************#~
Now let me break down my career through the films in this category
~#**************#~
In the backlot, surrounded by guns, killers, and crack rock
~#**************#~
Wish God couldve re-edited that shot, I guess not
~#**************#~
The L-O-G-I-C, open your mind, like O-ren Ishii
~#**************#~
At fourteen, cinema was my morphine
~#**************#~
Surrounded by more fiends, I could describe the sight enforcin
~#**************#~
Crazy 88 vs. The Bride, my house was fortified
~#**************#~
Single mothers mortified as they children died
~#**************#~
While the killers out on bail and then show up to court and lied
~#**************#~
See, I discovered hip-hop through Volume One
~#**************#~
Tarantino hit the RZA, left the whole world stunned
~#**************#~
Now I heard of Wu-Tang, but never truly knew the game
~#**************#~
First scene in the movie, Nancy Sinatra, “Bang Bang”
~#**************#~
Sampled that shit through the MPC and applied the swing
~#**************#~
Im down the rabbit hole, 36 Chambers released the catapult
~#**************#~
Next thing I know, Im bumpin “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx”
~#**************#~
Buildin my armor like a Brinks
~#**************#~
“Supreme Clientele” got me out here wanna be rockin minks
~#**************#~
Nas is up next, Queensbridge where them gangsters pump text
~#**************#~
Mos Def was rockin with The Roots
~#**************#~
Then I discovered RattPack sippin scotch at the Santa, rockin suits
~#**************#~
Blend it all together, what you get, thats Young Sinatra
~#**************#~
Prepare for departure, partner
~#**************#~
Just me in my room, steady vision like a Dolly zoom
~#**************#~
Hopin Ill make it out, probably soon
~#**************#~
Smoke in my lungs like Mr. White, Im far from Mr. Right
~#**************#~
My childhood home, really, honestly, I dont miss the sight
~#**************#~
Nothin but fight or flight, we never freeze
~#**************#~
Increase the light up by degrees and then ignite the trees
~#**************#~
With ease, RattPack what they call us, a boss like Marsellus Wallace
~#**************#~
Dropping jewels like Bad Mother Fucker is on my wallet
~#**************#~
Discovered The Delfonics from the sonics of the third film
~#**************#~
Cookin without a kiln, but, yeah, we still pushin
~#**************#~
Afraid of flyin from the fear at the airport, like Pam Grier
~#**************#~
From Metropolis to Upgrade, we finally made it here
~#**************#~
Flip the track like Stuntman Mike, Im feelin Death Proof
~#**************#~
Moment I left the booth, now check the proof
~#**************#~
I dropped Bobby Tarantino in the valley in Encino
~#**************#~
I could finally feel the heat like De Niro and Al Pacino
~#**************#~
Every track that I record, feel like another Nazi scout
~#**************#~
Im Django on a horse now, watch me mount any amount
~#**************#~
Im Sam Jack in “The Hateful Eight”, comin face to face with his fate
~#**************#~
Thats me at 16, millimeters from my dream
~#**************#~
I guess it all started with “Kill Bill”, but after a couple of mill
~#**************#~
I started to feel like they didnt respect the skill
~#**************#~
Still attained what I did, livin a dream in a four-story crib
~#**************#~
I could have never imagined as a kid
~#**************#~
Everything he wanted to attain I did, felt like a has-been
~#**************#~
Finally saw the code behind the Matrix like an admin
~#**************#~
Said, “Fuck Hollywood,” and moved to a cabin
~#**************#~
As a man in the game, I related to Rick Dalton, spit fire and flow molten
~#**************#~
Wanted nothin more than to open that gate
~#**************#~
For a dinner party next to Polanski and Tate
~#**************#~
So when I saw Rick climb the mountain at the end of the movie
~#**************#~
I realized all this shit these people been talkin just movin through me
~#**************#~
I felt like a failure with the world on my hand
~#**************#~
And this is somethin only less than the one-percent understand
~#**************#~
Was always in demand until I wasnt
~#**************#~
Fuck the hamster wheel, youre not a human, fuck how you feel
~#**************#~
You dont have the same passion and skill that you did when you were younger
~#**************#~
And you never will, fill the void
~#**************#~
Your fans want you in the past like Christopher Lloyd
~#**************#~
Been on tour for ten years, like a marine thats been deployed
~#**************#~
And now none of it matters, just my woman and my boy
~#**************#~
So when I finally saw Rick throwin a fit thinkin it was it
~#**************#~
I felt the same identically cause weve been through the same shit
~#**************#~
Felt like my hay-day passed at dinner, my wife says it has
~#**************#~
Youll never have the passion that you had
~#**************#~
‘Cause you were tryna make it out, not end up like your mom and dad
~#**************#~
It drove me to tears at the table, knowin that Ill never be able
~#**************#~
To relive it and give it my all, constantly in a state of fall
~#**************#~
‘Cause aint no way that you can do what youve been done
~#**************#~
The only thing that Im that passionate about these days, my son
~#**************#~
Already won, this game is for the young, not playin that shit
~#**************#~
Too grown to be number one on top of this rap shit
~#**************#~
So my favorite Tarantino movie used to be “Kill Bill”
~#**************#~
I felt like Beatrix while on my way to the top of this hill
~#**************#~
Once I finally reached the summit, felt my stomach plummet still
~#**************#~
‘Cause I realized its all about the clout and not the skill
~#**************#~
Used to be driven like a highway
~#**************#~
Now Im older and wiser, Rick Dalton walkin up the driveway
~#**************#~
Ill never have the passion I once did, its understood
~#**************#~
Its all good, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
