[Intro]

"Sinatra"

"As you see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours"

"You are watching a master at work"

"Logic" "Mustard on the beat, ho"


[Verse 1]

Yeah

Fast cars with iPods in 'em

Young Sinatra what they blastin' like a Beretta

V for Vendetta, bitches sit and play just to get wetter

Haters talkin' shit but then they study every letter

I'm the first draft pick with the last laugh, bitch

Yeah, I'm angry on the track, but I deserve to be

'Cause all these rappers with no talent wanna murder me

People talkin' shit ain't even heard of me

I went from park benches at night to first class flights

Huh, that's what you call takin' shit to new heights

Put the 750 in reverse like Benjamin Button

We been doin' it for years and they down all of a sudden


[Chorus]

Bobbysoxer doin' one-twenty in a Corvette

Watch your boy blow up in front of your eyes: war vet

Give the fans nuttin' but fire, now they want more of it

E'rybody want my album, it ain't in the stores yet


[Verse 2]

I keep it real all the time like my crew, when I rhyme

Just a killer in his prime with that predator state of mind

I'm set to detonate, stack my bread and watch the paper escalate

Don't test my fate, Logic finna blow like Mary Kate

I play my role like Shakespeare, RattPack, ain't no fakes here

I conceal my talent like a 357

Ever since I was eleven I been a G, chillin' on the low-key

Incognito, manipulate the steel like Magneto

Smacking suckers like mosquitoes, dispersin' verses like a kilo

I'm Michael, the king, you fuckers is Tito

Versace frames with the green shades, I only see dough

Ballin' like a free throw, you know my steelo

I once was a prince with the vision of a king

Now I run the whole thing, not defined by the bling

Exterminate the fakes like crooked jakes, killin' for high stakes

Guarantee it is my fate to be remembered as one of the greats

No matter what it takes, boy, I'ma give it my all

Like Jordan when he ball, never stumble, never fall

Lyrical medicine, repeat the formula

Until I get it right like Edison (Like Edison)

Now step into my mind as I calculate lyrics like Einstein

The way he manipulated numbers, I manipulate the rhymes

Like E=MC², nah

E = Eater of MCs, beware

Watch me shine in the darkness like a flare

Married to the game, I'm the heir to the throne you been watchin'


[Chorus]

Bobbysoxer doin' one-twenty in a Corvette

Watch your boy blow up in front of your eyes: war vet

Give the fans nuttin' but fire, now they want more of it

E'rybody want my album, it ain't in the stores yet


[Verse 3]

Walk in a room and now they starin' at a brother like

"What up?" What's the next move? Shall I improve

On some shit I never gave a fuck about before?

Let relationships end up, 'cause all I do is flow

See, I'm a selfish ma'fucker, I already know

Don't try to tell me what I'm not, bitch, I'll conquer the globe

I sacrificed my whole childhood just to explode

I want this more than what's under Mila Kunis' robe, meanwhile

Daddy's lil' girl askin' for mo' money

But little did he know the bread was for blow money

What's in store, money, sold out shows and hoes for me

I can't fade, this the only reason I was made

To follow my dreams and manipulate these rhyme schemes

Like a genius, spittin' the meanest, I done seen this

As a child, ten-thousand people in the crowd

Reppin' the RattPack, watch 'em all go w—


[Outro]

Slicin' MCs like Vader

Motherfuckin' RattPack, you already know what it is

Yeah, Visionary Music Group

V's up all day, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Sinatra"

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Ten, ten, ten, twenties and them fifties, bitch

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch

Ten, ten, ten, twenties and them fifties, bitch

I'm a ma'fuckin' star (Star)

Look at the paint on the car (Car)
