Era
PRhyme Lyrics

How can you do this when you're spankin' brand new to this?
Questioning how to succeed in a new challenge

I'm the leader
Asserting dominance and control

I'm the leader of this game
Emphasizing supremacy in the industry

Old school or new
Acknowledging both old and new rap styles

Uh, my predecessors never heavy lectured (never!)
Not following the strict teaching of past rappers

Daily messaged through the text, vexed, totin' extra (tote!)
Constantly communicating through text messages with extra precautions

Pedal bike sales, baggin', pumpin', just tryna stretch it (stretch!)
Selling drugs on a bike to make ends meet

Snipe your bitch, no Wesley, double cup full of Texas (po' up!)
Taking someone's girl without hesitation and drinking lean

Back room, project buildin' with eight niggas talkin'
Hanging out with a group of people in a building discussing projects

BAPE shop in Japan, had a dream J Dilla called me (uh!)
Recounting a dream where a famous rapper called them from overseas

I paid attention to the Fugees and I killed 'em softly
Being inspired by The Fugees and incorporating their style into their own music

All white, feelin' Godly, I'm cloud-steppin', don't bother (uh!)
Feeling powerful and untouchable while clouded in white clothing

I take offense to disrespect over who lyrical
Being offended by lack of respect towards lyrical abilities

Triple threat, every move I'm makin', all pivotal (every move!)
Asserting that every move is significant and part of a greater plan

Far from Biblical, I want threesomes, I need a chick or two
Wanting to engage in sexual experiences with multiple partners

Polar bear stretched out in my livin' room, he from Alaska (uh!)
Boasting about a polar bear rug in their living room from Alaska

No more masters, had me spittin' with the Kiss voice (a-ha!)
Breaking free from control and developing their own style with a deep, raspy voice

Raspy but I'm classy, knockin' André and Big Boi (yeah!)
Balancing a rough voice with a sophisticated image while paying homage to Outkast members André 3000 and Big Boi

Outkasts of my generation, I ain't never fit in (never!)
Feeling like an outsider and not fitting in with society's expectations

Now I'm blowin' sour in clubs, I could never get in (light up!)
Partying in exclusive clubs as a successful rapper, despite not being able to get in before

In Tokyo, reminiscin' on my cousin that overdosed
Reflecting on a past family member who died from a drug overdose while in Tokyo

Seen a fiend so high, thought he had caught the Holy Ghost (ah!)
Witnessing someone high on drugs and comparing their behavior to religious possession

Catch a body in Harlem, lay low out in the Poconos
Planning to commit a crime in Harlem and retreat to a more secluded area to avoid being caught

Watching Scarface wanted to be Alejandro Sosa tho
Being inspired by the character in the movie Scarface and wanting to emulate his power and success

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the wrong fucking era
Feeling out of place in current times and wishing to be in a different era

(Microphone check 1-2)
A common phrase used to test audio equipment

Like I'm a hostage cause I'm in the wrong damn era
Feeling trapped and unable to escape the current era

You supposed to be the future of the world
Referencing the importance of young people in shaping the future

Uh I drag individuals, bragging on residuals
Boasting about residual income and dragging others down in the process

Divide jiggables, while the flag is indivisible
Separating items while acknowledging the unity of the American flag

My state is digital
Referring to the prevalence of technology in their home state

How these rappers the hottest, how you rappers the coldest
Questioning the popularity and skill of other rappers

My fireplace is the igloo (oh)
Comparing their luxurious home to an igloo

What you say is the truth then I salute ya, De La Soul
Paying homage to the rap group De La Soul and respecting those who speak the truth

I pop the Ruger and pop the new some
Using guns for protection and enjoying new luxury items

The extra extensive extent we've gone
Going to great lengths for success and recognition

To send you in witness protection
Threatening someone to the point where they need to be put under witness protection

Exit with this throne
Leaving with power and control

I can hit you niggas ex
Being able to reach and harm someone from their past

Or I can get you niggas x
Being able to get someone fired or removed from their position

Or I can get you niggas XXXTentacion
Referencing the deceased rapper XXXTentacion and indicating the ability to cause harm or destruction

Bitch we not the same thing, me I come from a different world
Feeling superior to others and indicating differences in upbringing and experiences

I flip you out yo' frame like the wayne wayne, then hit ya girl
Being able to physically harm someone and then steal their partner

Run up bare-faced broad day, the fuck I'ma wrestle for
Being willing to use force and violence without attempting to negotiate or compromise

Leave your ass on heavens staircase touched at the chapel door
Causing someone to die and end up at the gates of heaven, near a chapel door

Fuck you your national anthem, that shit don't concern me
Dismissing the importance of the national anthem and indicating a lack of patriotism

'Cause it's your country I'm smoking Monte Cristo
Enjoying a high-end cigar that is associated with wealth and luxury in the midst of their disdain for American patriotism

Discussing bitcoin and cryptocurrency
Talking about modern finance and technology

That's probably why white people stay connected
Implying that white people are able to succeed due to their knowledge and involvement in cryptocurrency

My people stay corrected, white people stay protected
Claiming that people of color are often punished or scrutinized more harshly than white individuals

From the same dangers in life that my people stay subjected
Referring to systemic racism and discrimination that affects people of color more frequently

The USA got a race obsession, hatred
Claiming that America as a country is overly concerned with race and displays hatred towards minority groups

I hope you know that's why I race my possessions
Actively pursuing success and material possessions as a way to combat systemic inequality

I treat my Porsche like Oprah
Taking great care of a luxury car and comparing it to the care that Oprah Winfrey gives to others

And my Wraith like Stetman (ah)
Giving equal attention and care to another luxury car, comparably to Oprah's relationship with Stedman Graham

(ah)
A common interjection used in rap music.

You supposed to be the future of the world
Reiterating the importance of young people in shaping the future
