[Intro] (Yeah) Pages on the desk and the crates on the floor Got the needle in the groove, let the science explore From the park jam days to the tapes I rewind Every line that I find gets filed in my mind [Verse 1] I been deep in the lab, dust all on my sleeves Study rhythm like a theorem, how the pattern believes From the breakbeat loops to the hiss of the tape I catalog every great, every phrase they shaped I was dubbing old cassettes, writing notes on the spine Mapping flows like equations, every bar, every rhyme Took the golden age grammar, broke it down to the bone How they set up every punch, how they sharpened the tone Analyzed the delivery, where they breathe, where they pause How they stretch a single syllable and bend all the laws From the park-side battles to the stages they blessed I was circling the methods that were working the best [Chorus] I'm a scientist, I been running these tests Put the legends under lenses, every line, every flex From the old school tapes to the new school spin I been charting every pattern just to build from within I'm a scientist, built a lab in my head Do the research on the verses, what they wrote, what they said Take the data from the past, let it fuel my flow Now I'm breaking down the future with the style I know [Verse 2] I got notebooks, margins full of arrows and marks Tracing rhyme schemes, color-coded in the dark How they stack four sounds in a couple of bars Turn a phrase into a weapon, make it cut like shards I was rewinding the bridge, how the hook came in Where the drums drop out, where the scratches begin I heard the call-and-response in the crowd’s loud cheer Saw the science in the timing, how they managed the fear I decode all the metaphors, the double and twist How they flip a common story with a subtle assist From the cipher in the alley to the light of the stage Every pattern that I gathered got engraved on the page [Chorus] I'm a scientist, I been running these tests Put the legends under lenses, every line, every flex From the old school tapes to the new school spin I been charting every pattern just to build from within I'm a scientist, built a lab in my head Do the research on the verses, what they wrote, what they said Take the data from the past, let it fuel my flow Now I'm breaking down the future with the style I know [Bridge] Crates full of records like a library stack Every sample that I glean, I can flip it right back Got the bells in the hook, chimes ring on the four Bass walking with the whistle while the breakbeats roar Soul snippets in the back, they be humming my theme Rhythm scratches cut clean through the crackle and steam I been piecing all the fragments like a coded design Turn the decades into lessons, let ’em sharpen my mind [Verse 3] Now the flow that I built, it’s a test come true Got the data in my cadence, every bar brand new I can pivot with the tempo, still remain on beat Cause I studied every legend from the parks to the street Took the grit in their voices, all the pain they told Mixed it up with innovation, made a style so bold From the echoes in the stairwells to the booth I’m in I been tracking every echo, every loss, every win So when you hear me on the mic, know the work got done Every theory that I wrestled turns to fire in the lungs From the lab to the stage, I’m advancing the art I’m a hip-hop scientist with a scholar’s heart [Chorus] I'm a scientist, I been running these tests Put the legends under lenses, every line, every flex From the old school tapes to the new school spin I been charting every pattern just to build from within I'm a scientist, built a lab in my head Do the research on the verses, what they wrote, what they said Take the data from the past, let it fuel my flow Now I'm breaking down the future with the style I know [Outro] Got the whistle in the hook with the bass in line Dusty drums keep knocking, let the groove define Every page that I filled turned my craft precise I’m a scientist of rhythm, now my flow’s like ice
