Schoolboy talked to NPR about the musical change here:
It switches up to “Oxymoron,” to where I’m selling it now. It’s like I was addicted to it, and then now I’m selling it. Since the album is called Oxymoron, I switched ‘em up, put it first and then that behind it, but the reality was that I started selling Oxycontin, then I stopped selling Oxycontin, went broke, then got addicted to another prescription drug — three different ones: Percocets, Valium and Xanax. And codeine, actually.
This is another song Q made in 2012, along with Break The Bank

This line is originally from Method Man’s Method Man Remix off Tical from 1993 yet people confuse and think Big Pun was first to say it on John Blaze, but, he borrowed it from Method Man in 1998, and Method Man used it again, as a duo with Redman, right here.

In the first part of the song, Prescription, Schoolboy Q is recording the image of his life as a drug user and abuser.
In the second part, Oxymoron, he talks about how he is selling the same drugs he talked about being hooked on.
When he was interviewed by radio station, Hot 97, he told that the meaning of the album’s name, Oxymoron, is that he was doing all this bad to do good for his daughter, that’s the oxymoron, that’s also why this track is titled “oxymoron”, that’s his life after his daughter was born, no more selling drugs.
Schoolboy Q says:
Because he’s saying he knows he is a moron for being a drug dealer and selling Oxycontin.
He was asked about this at a CRWN event with Elliot Wilson.
The line “O-X-Y I’m moron” is a double entendre. Q has stated previously in interviews that the oxymoron the album refers to is that he is a recovering drug addict but still sells drugs. The line’s alternate meaning is that he is “more on” by upgrading to oxycontin from crack, with Oxy being more profitable than crack.
