D. Zulu - New Era lyrics

[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" [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
