    Lyrics:
    [Intro: Lupe talking]
    Yeah, revenge, now what we gonna do right now, a ha ugh, is gonna try a little experiment, just a little experiment, you know what I'm saying, a little science project, you know what I'm saying, I like to call it
    Switch.
    You you you, yes let the words woo you
    till you woozy.
    Let the lyrics subdue you,
    massage and sooth you,
    move you till conscience lose you.
    Lu now rules you,
    you do what Lu do and you'll do beautiful.
    Switch.
    I'm the meanest.
    You the meanest?
    I'm the meanest
    and I mean this.
    now I don't mean this
    to sound fiendish,
    but I'm a genious.
    You a genious?
    And the cleanest.
    Never seen this
    as clean as
    my cleanest.
    From on top,
    from underneath,
    from behind
    or in between.
    Switch.
    I'm a hustler creeping with my hat low.
    Niggas know I pack so,
    what they gonna do that for?
    Niggas got my back though
    like answering the back door.
    Catch you I'm a slap you, leave you redder than the bat phone.
    Switch.
    With a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
    That.
    Mixed with a little bit of pimp,
    and a little bit of mac
    and a little bit of limp
    and a whole lotta gangster lean.
    I can't be seen.
    I ain't the King, but a nigga is strengthening
    to paint the scene
    and take the thing over
    like a soldier caught in a polo gather hood like a cobra nigga thank a teen
    Switch.
    [Background:]
    Switch nigga, this is how I got it, I switch like hydraulic cars, switch like the barge nigga. Switch.[Background]
    [Interlude: Lupe talking]
    Aight, now remember that, that's a, that was a part of the experiment. I had to set it up so. So don't worry I know what your thinking, I was thinking the same thing. Just, just follow me ok. Watch, ok. Come on now.
    Murder niggas,
    step on my shoes I hurt a nigga.
    Kill a nigga.
    Fill a nigga with holes.
    Call women hoes.
    Hold up niggas, hold up hoes.
    Break the calm, dead in they bombs.
    Blow up niggas, blow up hoes.
    Turn around, smack they moms.
    Switch.
    Heal niggas.
    Educate and build niggas
    and still they niggas is real
    to respect women.
    Treat'em like they real,
    they fell nigga.
    Watch the birds,
    watch Dr. Phil nigga.
    Chill nigga.
    go learn a skill nigga.
    Aight.
    Switch.
    Rims, Mercedes Benz, twenties, twenty-twos, twenty-fours, rolls, gold, platinum watches, cases of more.
    Gucci, rubis, mansions, models, VIP, Ferraris, chinchillas, diamond rings, change, Range Rovers, bling bling.
    Switch.
    Niggas bust his trains.
    Pocket full of change.
    Dimes, quarters, taking orders,
    delivering pizzas
    and conditionles beaters.
    Hand-me-down sneakers.
    Silver.
    Wannabe models won't show me love
    and I can't get in the club.
    Switch.
    [Background:]
    Switch nigga, this is how I got it, I switch like hydraulic cars, switch like the barge nigga. Switch.[Background]
    [Interlude: Lupe talking]
    Ha, it getting good right? Yeah, aight, so check this out. Now go back to the first one, aight, run back to that one. We're going to have a little bit more fun with that one, aight. You ready? Aight. Come on.
    Switch.
    Hey hey hey, it's coming back to you.
    Lu no longer rules you.
    You can do what you do.
    Back to your usual.
    Switch.
    It's official.
    It's official.
    I'm official,
    as officials
    who got the stripes
    and the flags
    and the whistles
    Switch.
    Whistle and watch my niggas come
    from the underground,
    just like Thriller play Bambi
    and you gonna hear that double sound.
    Switch.
    They can't touch the sound
    that I'm busting now.
    It's like a cloud trying to touch the ground.
    Tough and bound, ever since we're touching down.
    Jealous niggas catch your feelings cuz I'm hustling now.
    What?
    Switch.
    They be hating.
    Switch.
    They be hating.
    Switch.
    What? What? What?
    They be hating.
    Don't give them stage
    Switch.
    What's a nigga supposed to tell them when they up in my face then?
    Switch.
    That you got a cousing that don't mind catching cases.
    Busting niggas' heads in, slapping niggas' faces.
    Switch.
    And he a do it.
    He a do it.
    He a do it.
    And I'll prove it.
    Cuz I didn't seen it.
    You didn't seen it?
    I'd a seen it.
    He the meanest.
    Switch.
    Ho, ho, ho. Wait.
    I mean it,
    I thought you were the meanest,
    see?
    That's why this thing is fiendish.
    Right, now.
    Switch.
    [Outro: Lupe talking]
    Yeah, experiment done. I think that was a goody, I think that was a good experiment, I think that was nice. It's a nice little science project.
    [Background:]
    Switch Nigga, I got it switch like hydraulic cars, switch like the barge nigga. Switch.[Background]
    Haha! Revenge! Shoutouts to my homies at asylum. What up? Yeah

    this song proves that lupe lyrically is on another planet compared to ALL rappers right now. if his music and wiz khalifa's music, somehow fucked and had a baby, we would have the perfect antidote to hip hop right now. i rele hope both lupe and khalifa can change the game back to quality, great music
