3:27Yeah, I was stuck inside my fucking studio pacing Stressin' and second guessin' with all the music I'm making Reassessing who I choose to put faith in And re-examining who really has a say In all these moves that I'm making Stepped away for a minute, made a new situation Now it's back to the basics, I know you have been waiting 'Cause see it ain't about the numbers or the views or rotations I'm hungry, those in my way should get to funeral arranging I'll bruise 'em, I'll scrape 'em, I'll chew 'em, I'll break 'em And get a skewer, filet 'em like food on my plate And throw what's left in the stew I was makin' I'm patient, I'm calm and I'm cool, I'm just sayin' The person that you see when you Google my name With those stupid photo shoots from like 2008 With the early interviews of me saying some super outdated Chemically fueled ludicrous statements Was just a kid who lacked guidance up in the public eye But I'm all grown up now, so fuck it, right? Let's get back to raisin' hell up again And talkin' shit about these rappers 'cause I'm better than them Time to give 'em all a show so go assemble your friends We in the lab like it's 2011 again The hands on the clock's jumpin' but dammit I'm not bluffin' It's time to make shit get outta hand like I dropped something Won't stop nothin', I'm back bitch, the bandicoot of dat pit With my lab kit and a bottle ready to crash shit Oh you think that's it? Huh, not even close motherfucker Check Rockin' crowds is what I love to do, adrenaline is pumpin' through My body, sendin' dopamine levels right through the fuckin' roof Serotonin rushin' too, more than any drug could do Music's like my antidepressant, this shit ain't nothing new Without it I'd be caught up in stress, an alcoholic, a mess I don't just do this 'cause it offers a check 'Cause I don't need a label office, a jet or a crib in the hills Or a Lamborghini and jewelry all on my neck But I'm sick of fallin' in debt with This Indian guy from American Express Puttin' in this call to collect But I see being pushed to the brink as a test And honestly, being broke really seems to bring out my best I feel like I'm locked inside a fuckin' cage with a pen Being pushed to the point that I hate this game that I'm in Surrounded by these people who just like to fake and pretend So they ask, "If that's the case, why you ain't famous as them?" I don't know, but just let me get my midnight toast Hip-hop's dead like Nas said and it's this I quote I'm feelin' like I'm out the loop and it's an inside joke "Wait, wait, you're actually serious? You think this guy's dope?" So I'll keep givin' my lectures, Professor Webster is back In my mask, jacket and gloves, cookin' tracks in the desert I'm back and I'm better, actin' erratic, dramatic and clever 'Cause I'm still up in the fuckin' lab like Dexter Five years later We back up in the laboratory motherfucker Welcome to the mixtape Yeah
