There are references to Uncle Phil from his breakout sitcom \"Fresh Prince of Bel Air,\" Smith's Muhammad Ali biopic and his summer blockbusters, and those darn divorce rumors that have dogged him and wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

\"Stop the divorce rumors and mind your d--- business,\" he raps.

Coming from Smith, who is known for his clean lyrics, the curse words may come as a bit of surprise.

Then again, Smith, 49, is returning to a very different hip-hop industry than when he left. His last album, \"Lost and Found,\" was released in 2005.

In a longer YouTube video that he also posted Wednesday, the star talked about why it took him so long to return to music.

\"At my peak, I was doing a television show, a movie and an album every year,\" he says in the video. \"So like, just churning out that kind of creativity. What happens is you get to a point where you get empty.\"

Now, he adds, \"I'm excited. I'm reenergized. I'm creating wildly like I used to. I'm ready.\"

Smith is also set to release the official 2018 World Cup anthem he recorded with Colombia-based reggaeton star Nicky Jam and Kosovar pop singer Era Istrefi.
