[Intro: Tyler, The Creator]

What the Hell?


[Verse 1: Hodgy]

I ain't been home in a week

Barely been to Pasadena since them San Fran streets

I stay the night at the studio, I get no sleep

My passion for this music yo, it's far too deep

I rest for 3 hours a day, 4 and an half if I'm lucky

4:45 in the mornin' and I'm the only one up, see

I'm all about the hustle, Hodgy 'bout his grind

And you'll no longer struggle once you make up your mind

I had made up my mind and now I'm takin' the time

Steady niggas takin' from mines, I record in outer space

Bendin' time, lendin' rhymes, not a hand

Mixtapes to a fan, giving and gettin' grams

Odd Future shinin', S.P.F. sunscreen

Needs to be applied to burn from sunbeams

Teach a lesson if haven't learned from one's schemes

Mankind wouldn't be realistic if no one dreamed, yeah

[Chorus: Frank Ocean, Hodgy & Frank Ocean]

I got, I got anime on the screen

I got, I got pen in hand, scripting dreams

I got, I got — rich man said to me

"Just remember one thing: you'll never have time," time

You'll never have time, time

You'll never have time, time

You'll never have time, time


[Verse 2: Hodgy]

I knew it, mama, I knew it

One wish every birthday candle before I blew it

Son carved the paths out but I drew it, sicker than the flu

I'm on my stew shit, just let it simmer and brew

When I'm remembering you

We fall out in the winter

September, October, Novembering you

No contender with you, I'm like tendering food

Zip-Lock marinated, cook it if you care to take it

The time now to bake it, mama, show me how you make it

Bring me to life with an icing covered knife

Single handedly raised us, sacrifice and had to fight

For pay just to raise us, love is what made us today

Trust, we always got steel

I'll proceed to protect if I'm goin', shot, kill

I'm the star, twinkle, twinkle

Thanks for every birthday, you lit candles for cake, sprinkles, uh

[Chorus: Frank Ocean, Hodgy & Frank Ocean]

I got, I got anime on the screen

I got, I got pen in hand, scripting dreams

I got, I got — rich man said to me

"Just remember one thing: you'll never have time," time

You'll never have time, time

You'll never have time, time

You'll never have time, time


[Interlude: Left Brain]

Yo, yo, what the fuck is an interlude, anyway?

What the fuck is an interlude for, man?

What the hell do you need a fuckin' interlude for, man?

Fuck that, just play the next song
