lyrics
... I'll tell you where I been,
It's been a few long years since Bringin' the Storms In,
Tha Final Frontier was where I begin,
Then releasing the Berd Flu was my original sin,
How To Divide By Zero to continue the storms,
I think Mathletics is where Eddie Nygma was born,
I showed 'em my Imperfections, to fuck with our heads,
Then I went and said the Things That Shouldn't Have Been Said,
(Berd where you been?) I been doin' it major,
Antisocial Cues droppin' sooner or later,
But for now here's my collection, bits and pieces what I done,
With this rap shit over the past sixteen months,
And what's occupying my time, you happen to ask?
Lemme stop and try rewind, man it's happened too fast.
It's been a long time since I've last done this rapping, see,
Since then I've smoked fantastic weed, and lost some lung capacity,
Lost some brain cells, hittin' the bottle didn't help,
Locked in fukken solitude, talking to myself,
But the culture I absorbed through my pores was entertaining,
Never bored, just the opposite, I had problems wit debating,
Either get ready for work or read the next page of Homestuck,
Deciding I got time then fifteen minutes later "Oh, fuck!"
Go to work, make pizzas keep up maintaining the kitchen,
Flippin' burgers cooking frickin' chicken, least I make a livin',
Get high, watch ponies, chill with my friends,
Chill with my girl, smoke more weed, maybe fuck her again,
Big Berd where you benn? That name's been played out,
Can you tell me how to get, how to get down?
My art needs revision; isn't gifted as I witness
The transition from Berd to this dastardly villain's composition,
... The one and only E. Nygma, catch up,
Reposition your superstition cause shit don't add up,
Bad luck, but I'll save the math for later,
Kick back and read the paper as I become my own narrator,
This is My own voice inside my own mind,
A personal infinity behind my skull's confines,
And I invite you inside, remove your sweaters and coats,
Please make yourself at home, I am an excellent host,
Witness my victories, my failures, my virtues and my sins
So nobody gotta ask me where I been.
