I never read this anywhere, but for a long time I believed the first half of this was taken from an old Frank demo. This type of pitch-shifting appears all across Blonde (most notably in Nikes), but when matched with an off-the-cuff performance and drums that seem to only come through when the vocals are present, it has all the hallmarks of something that was vocally isolated after the fact and placed onto a different beat. This is not the case (that it was an old song at least), however it hits on a theme that's the very backbone of Blonde, this nostalgia. Frank loves looking back (see: his entire discography), and upon returning to his normal voice (like the switch made in the aforementioned Nikes) he begins to rap of his life, of jobs he used to work, of Tyler crashing at his place, and finally, of the present. Speaking directly to the listener, Frank channels Kanye's Last Call with the lines, "This the last song... you can change this track now", it's a nod to the audience, a self-aware rolling of the credits ("Clark know and Matt know").
To cap off what'll certainly go down as his defining work, Frank lends the mic to others and lets them speak candid, unaware of their placement on such a record. The beauty of capturing people in their day to day, being interviewed by a kid who's about as old at the time of recording as Blonde is to us now. Running Around by Buddy Ross sets the scene wonderfully, we'll never be those kids again. The song collapses time to me...
