logic - once upon a time in hollywood lyrics

[intro]
logic’s favorite quentin tarantino movie is once—

[verse]
ayo, uh, one, two, three, four

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, k!llers, and crack rock
wish god could’ve 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 mother’s mortified as they children died
while the k!llers 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 sh+t through the mpc and applied the swing
i’m down the rabbit hole, 36 chambers released the catapult

buildin’ my armor like a brinks

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, that’s young sinatra
prepare for departure, partner
just me in my room, steady vision like a dolly zoom
hopin’ i’ll make it out, probably soon
i’m far from mr. right
my childhood home, really, honestly, i don’t 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 m+rs+llus wallace
dropping jewels like bad mother f+cker 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, i’m 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 n+z+ scout
i’m django on a horse now, watch me mount any amount
i’m sam jack in “the hateful eight”, comin’ face to face with his fate
that’s me at 16, millimeters from my dream
i guess it all started with “k!ll bill”, but after a couple of mill’
i started to feel like they didn’t respect the sk!ll
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, “f+ck 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 sh+t 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 wasn’t
f+ck the hamster wheel, you’re not a human, f+ck how you feel
you don’t have the same passion and sk!ll 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 that’s 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 we’ve been through the same sh+t
felt like my hay+day passed at dinner, my wife says it has
you’ll 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 i’ll never be able
to relive it and give it my all, constantly in a state of fall
’cause ain’t no way that you can do what you’ve been done
the only thing that i’m that passionate about these days, my son
already won, this game is for the young, not playin’ that sh+t
too grown to be number one on top of this rap sh+t
so my favorite tarantino movie used to be “k!ll 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 it’s all about the clout and not the sk!ll
used to be driven like a highway
now i’m older and wiser, rick dalton walkin’ up the driveway
i’ll never have the passion i once did, it’s understood
it’s all good, once upon a time in hollywood
