[Hook]
This is a new era
I see greatness when I look into the mirror
I see potential in the n***a
I get that the stakes are bigger
This is a new era
No time to heed these fakin' n***as
No time show any sign of weakness
It's time to play your cards right
[Verse]
Life is a movie,I swear they watchin'
Not everybody gon' wish for a happy endin'
Not everybody gon' love the protagonist
f** that long as I'm gon' leave a meteor impact
Critics got their mouths drawn,ready to fire at anyone in their midst
I came movin' low-key like a snake,dawg
Surprised the world fixed their eyes at the doorway
Teary eyes starrin' at my back like they waitin' for the bouquet
Rise Dee,rise,make these fakes take an early retirement
That's faster than high speed chases on highways
That's one thing I gotta do,that's the mission statement
Everybody on their knees while I'm determinin' their fate
Funny how they was laughin' when I needed a**istance
Some was givin' me the cold shoulder and kept their distance
Some claimed to be hommies but I could see through the pretence
Now,They look like "That's the same n***a we used to hate"
