[Verse 1]
I don't care how I come across and what they gonna say
But let's keep it a buck, I'm thankful for another day
Though I need to pray more, gratitude never compromised
Spiritual to a fault but culture made me ostracized
Trying to ride, cannot decide, directions that we headed in
The world's coming across sick, it's time for the medicine
Everything's disguised, under f** sh** as a guise
None the wise, then sh** happens and everyone's surprised
Society's all f**ed, of course I'm gonna make jokes
The snooziest muthaf**as always talk about they stay woke
Hip Hop went from expression, struggle, oppression, trouble
To now being drugged the f** out till the talk is mumbled
I'm stubborn as a mule, bullheaded, I'm a survivalist
I'm old Chicago, before they gentrified this b**h
So if I ain't caught on, I'm good, I ain't adapt to it
Whatever year I'm stuck in, these bars'll take me back to it
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the wrong year
As the world turns, I'm tryna pinpoint what's wrong here
As days pa**, the downpour represents strong tears
Yeah.... I'm stuck in the wrong era
[Verse 2]
Lemme share some thoughts, let's talk about what irks me
Let's talk about Chicago Illinois, the city that birthed me
Build a new Chicago, them signs you see everywhere
But build the sh** for who? When the f** they ever care?
Driving common folk out, making room for tourists
Of course it's some horse sh**, we speak and they ignore us
No help for inner city youth, so of course there's animosity
I'd rather see them drop the guns and jump inside a boxing ring
Shot after gunshot, but here's what else bothers me
Do time for grams, poison water and get off with ease
The world becomes digital and brains become feeble
Now all we got is a bunch of smartphones with dumb people
Pop culture got you dumbed down, y'all be damned to sh**
Can't spell at all, but could name them Kardashians
Ignorant to the world, stuck in a bubble, how you know it's wrong?
Cause tragedy's ignored and Bruce's dick is what y'all focus on
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the wrong year
As the world turns, I'm tryna pinpoint what's wrong here
As days pa**, the downpour represents strong tears
Yeah.... I'm stuck in the wrong era
[Verse 3]
So if this mic is a soapbox to spit my message
Then let's keep it real, I'd be remiss not to address it
Let's talk about the kids, and what y'all wanna subject 'em to
Especially when kids is so gotdamn impressionable
Kids don't wanna be kids, they 5, acting older now
Parents on some bum sh**, these kids is trying to hold it down
But who am I to criticize, or judge, I got no gavel here
Just tired of the nonsense, it's the rebirth of a cavalier
Terrorism, cop shooting, body cams got movement
News not improving to get a kick out like Bas Rutin
We stuck in an age where you get famous for dumb sh**
Just make a viral video, and that's something to run with
Couples can't hang, relationships ain't even done right
Cheating is the norm, y'all wanna break up after one fight
If you dumb pricks can't see everything's disrupted
Maybe we need angels to sound trumpets for the day of judgement
