The track opens with menacing synths and punchy 808 hits, blending gangster rap swagger into syncopated verses. Heavy dubstep bass drops crash in for the chorus, driven by distorted wubs and sharp hi-hats. Breakdowns feature aggressive vocal chops and glitchy transitions, uniting both styles.

Lyrics
Verse
Low-hanging fruit
Bring a new flow, flow in the loop
No tangy groove
Code in the suit
So mangy, oh, so rangy, too
I'm changin' you
Close danger, what the angels do
Bros stranger, what they famous do
Close danger, no containment
Whole rearrange of what the gang will do
My new words sound like a No Limit tape
This a rebirth
Walk in the room, no announce
We first
Hope they don't make us shoot first
Why did I have to lose her?
It was the plan of the universe
I'm the Black Cooper
We in the future
I am a trooper
I was in Ubers, sendin' them bloopers
It was like a whole group of her
Met her in a duper
You just the cool nerd
The science behind the newer herbs
There's no enlightenment if you can't handle the curse
I used to sit in a Buick with a lil' tulip, on a lick
On a gang of pigs, pullin' them over
And they just pull the tool and make us split
I'm the Black Doctor Who, yeah, and they call you Doctor Schtick
My fam call me Doctor Move because I can't sit for long with this
In a room with actors and mathematicians and no cataclysm
Just women that I had to jizz in
Did the most, I don't see competition
I just let 'em coast, I don't need permission
No anecdotes, we in an exhibition
I'm so deposed, I ain't a politician
I'm so up close, I don't need a picture
No, no
There's a white man in the corner, and he lookin' real evil
No, no
There's a fine ass girl in the room and she tryin' to get even
Whoa, whoa
There's a fine line between y'all two, and you might just have to leave 'em
I'm a high mind, and I'm not in the mood
I'm just tryin' to relieve ya, no, no
No, no
Ain't no
No, no
Ain't no
No, no
Ain't
Verse
Wake up with an "Ayo" and a "What up, gang?" in the morning
I'll do anything except for paying taxes and working
Broke up with the baddie 'cause she smelt of sweetcorn
Went to Italy, it was hot, the Airbnbs had no air-con
Got her, 'bout to go meet her at the station
In London, people think the Tube is a good way to travel
I always forget what I'm saying, um, when I'm speed rapping
Her only crime was being too beautiful
Where did that line go? I said it was in the manual
Had to put him on, his tracks were all right
"Put it on," what a good line from Young Nudy
Everyone rapping nowadays says they sound like Yeat
They say, "Shut up," but I'm in my own world
I'm playing Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart
With me and the mandem and my uncle
Bounced like a check or a basketball
Like on Mario Party
I think of fire, I think of me
Don't drink wine, don't smoke trees
Your jokes are poor, mine are elite
And when you spit bars, it makes me want to sleep
On the beat, I've been going for an hour
Why did I lie? It's only been twenty minutes
You could do anything if you put your mind to it
Don't know if that's true, I think it just sounds good
Had to stop him 'cause I couldn't let him do that
Don't like Nike, only like my TNs
Dread to think how long it's been since I left the ends
I've been gone for so long, I don't think I can come back
These high-top shoes keep me grounded
When you're talking, you don't sound grounded
I've been moving mountains with my mind, it's astounding
He took my phone, said, "Let me see," he found it
I've got the lyrics on my screen, but I didn't write them down
I don't have my computer, I write it on my phone
They want me to speed rap, but I rap slow
They say my name and I appear like I'm a genie
I hear your bars, and it's easy to be a meany
He can't do anything, his only skill is cleaning
I met the woman of my dreams and she was
Verse
Move in slow motion
Strap up the scene with explosives
Kush got me lookin' for motives
One hitter quitter got my ass back in focus
Yin and the yang, one with the sky and the ocean
Waitin' on my pay, hopin' and wishin'
For better days, payin' and fishin'
For the right woman to help my vision
Swimmin' in her brain, readin' her thoughts, I'm listenin'
Huh, we on the same page, same sentence
Everythin' happen for a reason
He just ran out of luck
'Cause he kept fuckin' up, kept feedin' the beast
Told you once, told you twice, told you three times
I'm ahead of the times, 3005
Yeah, my tribe will survive, feel it in my bones
Through the bad weather, bring out the umbrellas
Let the rain fall on me
Pre-Chorus
The time is now, my brothers
The time is now, my sisters
Pre-Chorus
The time is now, my brothers
The time is now, my sisters
Chorus
I told you once, told you twice, told you three times
I'm ahead of the times, 3005
Yeah, my tribe will survive, feel it in my bones
Through the bad weather, bring out the umbrellas
Let the rain fall on me
Verse
Heavy cargo, fish and sharks
That stuff you hear, far-fetched, like ships to Mars
Cold logic, got bars that'll split cigars
Get at the guala like koalas at a eucalyptus farm
Tryna ball like the big fish at the tar pits
Beat slaps, hit your soul, send your car into park
And like the RZA, it'll blow apart your archers
Head sharp, leave your top lookin' like carpet
Dreads everywhere, dreads everywhere
Severe burn damage to your ear, uh
All for the dear dollars, get 'em, send 'em here
Tell 'em somethin' fishy 'bout it all, but it isn't clear
What you fear? What you hear?
Not nearly enough to interfere
A shift of the ages, somethin' sincere
Not sayin' too much, but it's right here
That's if you're payin' attention
Another dimension, lift your ascension
Raise your intention
Change the direction
Release the tension
In all directions
Is that all you mentionin'?
That's all I mention
Why do you mention?
That's just a message
A message
We give 'em the message
But we don't expect 'em to get it
Chorus
The shift of the ages
(That's all I mention)
A shift of the ages
(That's just a message)
The shift of the ages
A shift of the ages
(We give 'em the message)
The shift of the ages
A shift of the ages
The shift of the ages
A shift of the ages
(But we don't expect 'em to get it)
Verse
Quick question: what you thought was the purpose?
Makin' a profit, what you callin' the service?
Said a callin', that's for certain
See, the Gods is in person
Through the fall and the hurtin'
We resolve and then reverse it
Shift, turnin' tides, servin' what you purchase
No distance between you and your urges
Straightforward, I can't force it
'Less you ask me to put my foot down
Got you second-guessin' your purpose
An intergalactic accident is what Earth is
The act of the men and the
