[Intro: Jean Grae]

That is great, good for you

Okay get out of the way though

Thank you, excuse me, excuse me

[Chorus]

Been a long time, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to

Say uhh, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to, say

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

C’mon, the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yeah, y’know you heard of that

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

You know the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yes, I know you heard of that

[Verse 1]

Psychopath, ride a tricycle in a biker’s club

Mike Tyson face tatted, addict like it rough

Hey scatterbrain, don’t get your grey matter punched up

Til you're hunched, tucked, talking like you punch drunk

One love, two maybe if I’m drunk enough

Naked watching three painted ladies do the bump and rub

Mean mugging Jean the Heebs call meshugenah

Booking her in the Catskills like, look at her rap skills

E-book in the backpack, the nerd in the Rat Pack

Jean Martin de Bergerac, you heard of her murder rap

Her murder rep, then learn it, confirm it and burn its audio

Music for your convertible, use it for burning cardio

Don’t use it with burners, they’ll find me in your stereo

And blame me for the murders, lock me up and get me carried off

I know I said murder before murder murder, fuck it, murder

Make it four, insert a learning curve

Mine is so high you get vertigo, assertive girl, infernal glow

Eternally superlative, blindfolded learn to drive

At night up on a girder bridge, hurt her no

Tyler Durden nerve in this, the boys are back

Oh yes the boys in black, the boy’s a {Black Star}, rap star

Jean a rock star, minus the Pharrell and all the cop cars

Rock soft, lock bars with the realest in the spot

Really y’all should get on your knees and pray us for our forgiveness, say

[Chorus]

Been a long time, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to

Say uhh, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to, say

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

C’mon, the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yeah, y’know you heard of that

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

You know the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yes, I know you heard of that

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

I’m a man of God who asked the Devil for some face time

The Shaitan, you never see him coming cause you're faith blind

The mainline, Bloods is waving flags like K’Naan

The Crips throwing gang signs

The Beast in the street bear they teeth like a canine

Get low like the bassline

Jean and Kwa think alike like great minds

The crown is on my head, what makes you think that you can take mine

They know they’ll never win but still they racist like a hate crime

Run the track like Tyra in Higher Learning

We bleeding gasoline so we keeping the fire burning

We speeding like Valvoline and we speak for a higher purpose

You believe in magazines, I deliver entire sermons

You need some Vaseline cause your shit is dryer than deserts

You never fired a weapon in your life so

Picturing yourself as a gangster the only way that you shooting

My intelligent design is a product of evolution

Psychotic, erotic catch phrases just to get at your girl

Create solutions for a digital world

So baby even when I’m spitting game I’m adding on

Rappers going hard, the G.O.A.T., I got an acronym for Capricorn

Centered And Prepared, Rigorous, Innovative

Captivating, Ordinary, Regular, Nigga just

Growing daily, your chick goin' crazy, yo

Handle her like Chelsea Lately

Rocking the fresh kicks like you felt the baby

We’ll wait til you done being whack

We got every hand up from the front to the back

If you wondering why dudes is dressing funny in rap

They need attention dog, there ain’t no more money in rap

So if you mixing with GarageBand, videos on the Flip cam

I’m a big fan, you got more heart than Bret The Hit Man

But shit damn, it’s the pinnacle, gets no better

I’m boasting, but still stay humble

Never cynical, I’m posting

[Chorus: Jean Grae]

Been a long time, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to

Say uhh, shouldn’t have left you

Without a dope beat to step to, say

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

C’mon, the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yeah, y’know you heard of that

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

You know the word is back

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

Yes, I know you heard of that
