[Intro: Logic]

Shout out to that boy Slim Shady for all the love, yeah!

(Sinatra)


[Chorus: Logic]

Tell me what you know about real life

Tell me what you know about dark nights

Bitch, I'm Bruce Wayne in the game

You just perpetrating from the sideline, what it feel like? (Huh)

Metaphor game too silly, punch lines way too silly

Fuck a milli', now I'm comin' for that William

Hold up, wait a minute, think about it, that's a billi' (Woo!)


[Verse 1: Logic]

God damn, boy, you know I'm puttin' in the work

I'ma get 'em, I got 'em and now they all hurt

I'ma let 'em know, I never let 'em know

They never seem to know that I am a master (A master at work)

Bitch I'm all up in it, come and get it, you could never get rid of it

Every bit of it in this motherfucker

Like I'm in the middle of little Italy, and all this shit was never given to me

That's just a fallacy told by the enemy tryna get ahead of me

They dead to me, everybody dead to me

Everybody know that Bobby will body anybody

Like Gotti the Gambino, from Maryland to Reno

We know Tarantino a killer but the Young Sinatra

Got you by the neck and the spirit the second they hear it

They fear it as soon as they get near it, everybody revere it like


[Chorus: Logic]

Tell me-tell me-tell me what you know about real life, real life

Tell me what you know about dark nights, dark nights

Bitch, I'm Bruce Wayne in the game

You just perpetrating from the sideline, what it feel like—feel like?

Metaphor game too silly, punch lines way too silly

Fuck a milli', now I'm comin' for that William

Hold up, wait a minute, think about it, that's a billi'


[Bridge: Logic]

Everybody know that boy Sinatra, he the king now!

Nobody want to step up in the ring now

I sacrificed my twenties now that money ain't a thing now!

Now that money ain't a thing

Everybody know that boy Sinatra, he the king now!

Nobody want to step up in the ring now

I sacrificed my twenties now that money ain't a thing now!

Now that money ain't a thing


[Verse 2: Logic]

Everybody talk about my race on socials

Make the boy wanna go postal

Since I went triple plat'

I only identify as bi-coastal

I don't live life like most do (Like most)

Never did the shit I was supposed to

Not a lotta shit you could say about me

Yeah, my hairline faded but my bank account'll roast you


[Chorus: Logic]

Tell me—tell me—tell me what you know about real life, real life

Tell me what you know about dark nights, dark nights

Bitch, I'm Bruce Wayne in the game

You just perpetrating from the sideline, what it feel like, feel like?

Metaphor game too silly, punch lines way too silly

Fuck a milli' now, I'm comin' for that William

Hold up, wait a minute, think about it, that's a billi'


[Interlude: Jaden]

You already know what that is

Young Sinatra, icons inspire icons

Gold chains wrapped around my neck like pythons

The drip way, yeah


[Verse 3: Logic]

Yeah! Greatest alive, I'm the greatest alive

I'm the greatest at being me, ain't nobody seeing me

So, check it like CMB, that's word to the DMV

I'm straight from the basement, I made it like a villain, I'm hated

Word to Jermaine, this shit just ain't been the same

Never simple and plain like a bullet to the brain

I'm blowing minds, yeah, I gotta kick shit with this rhyme

Second I spit it, so divine, that's word to your mom

Sweeping these rappers up like it's a chore, who want more?

I'll leave anybody two times four

Dropping pounds in London like I lost weight

My mindstate is like a freight when I rhyme, check the state of mind

Yeah, my train of thought is never off the track

When I drive it, so stop it I'm killin' 'em like a virus

After they dead I'm still in 'em, who feelin' 'em, everybody now

It's never nothin' like the first time, nothin' like your first rhyme Nothin' like getting that nut in for the first time

That's the type of shit they never tell you now

Bitches come and go, I know, I know, you can't fuck with this flow

Bobby Tarantino, get the C note, oh yeah, there he go

Tell me they love it, they want it, they need it

I never been defeated, no, never given up

Do what I do, how I do gotta live it up

This shit right here on the real, I can't get enough

God damn, uh, I'm the motherfuckin' man

Went from gettin' close to the gang

To sipping champagne on a plane

Do what you love in life and never second guess it

Even when haters protest it now

You ever wonder what it means to

You ever wonder what it, uh

You ever wonder what it means to finally live in your dreams?

Then realize that everything, it just ain't what it seems?

Uh, yeah, I thought I wanted to be the greatest alive

Until I realized that being the greatest is just a lie

Like the opening words in this verse

That as soon as they disperse, make other rappers converse

And plot to put in you a hearse, real talk, fuck rap

I hate and I love it 'cause it's so negative

Everybody selfish, nobody wanna give

A helping hand to the next man, well, fuck you then

Fuck your ethnicity, we all one

'Cause when my last album dropped, you know we all won

Yeah, that shit went number one, so everybody won

I said that shit went number one, so everybody won (Yeah)
