[Intro: Walter White]
Jesse, you asked me
If I was in the meth business or the money business
Neither
I'm in the empire business
[Verse 1: GtC]
Between the microphone and I
I have never witnessed better chemistry
I'm Jesse Pinkman with the inkpen
My mood's been tellin' me
The deepest blues in life been my cues to continue
I've been used, but I'ma sell my blues like methamphetamine
Begin the legacy
I choose to give the people substance
What matters is what's splattered no matter the repercussions
Down inside the lab, descend the ladder, mixing badders
I am a G in my element, you'll get served on a silver platter
I'm mobilized, I got the overrides, I'm controllin' highs
Even lows feel like the open drives through the countryside
My word documents get notarized
If my number's up, I'm just tradin' my 23 in for the 45
My empire's been an inspiration to me
The concept of hard work seems like the only guy relatin' to me
Nobody's throwin' down the gangplank
You'll never get my co-sign
Cuz you and I ain't on the same wavelength
[Hook: GtC]
That's chemistry, baby
You don't understand the physical makeup of our chemistry, baby
What is this new devilry, baby
[Interlude: Walter White]
If you don't know who I am
Then maybe your course would be to tread lightly
[Verse 2: GtC]
An unspeakable force of nature, uh
Tha orphan maker, uh
See, I'm your local business vs. the corporate labor, uh
Support your neighbor, uh
Come strike your paydirt, uh
I cook with high degrees like I'm a science major
The writer is writing it all in biblical proportions
Stickin' you wit the endorphins when I go begin the recordin'
Through practicin' and performin'
My level of sk** has been morphin'
Been tryin' not to be vain
But through my veins, this talent is coursin'
The chemist without a blemish, 99.9 percentage
Purest form of the cook, no need for the book
I wrote it, you hearin' my sentence
But never copycat, “10-4, do you roger that?”
You're steppin' inside of a boxing match
Brains turn to lava lamps, uh
Tha Upstater, uh
Tha one-taker, uh
As soon as the beat drop, it's going down like dumbwaiters, uh
Tha rump chaser, uh
Tha unflavored
Focus on the now, don't worry ‘bout what comes later
Discover strengths, let go of the weaknesses
Forever preachin' this, cuz that's exactly what the secret is
Develop a chemistry set, build one you'll never regret
Make sure you remainin' pa**ionate with every step!
Chemistry, baby...
[Hook: GtC]
You don't understand the physical makeup of our chemistry, baby
What is this new devilry, baby?
Sounds ominous, whatever you rockin' with
But holy, moley, that is heavenly, baby
Yeah, sounds ominous, whatever you rockin' with
But holy, moley, that is heavenly, baby
Upstate Chemistry, baby
Upstate Chemistry, baby
Yeah
