I'm the leader I'm the leader of this game Old school or new Old school or new [Verse 1: Dave East] Uh, my predecessors never heavy lectured (never!)

I paid attention to the Fugees and I k**ed 'em softly All white, feelin' Godly, I'm cloud-steppin', don't bother (uh!) I take offense to disrespect over who lyrical Triple threat, every move I'm makin', all pivotal (every move!) Far from Biblical, I want threesomes, I need a chick or two Polar bear stretched out in my livin' room, he from Alaska (uh!) No more masters, had me spittin' with the Kiss voice (a-ha!) Raspy but I'm cla**y, knockin' André and Big Boi (yeah!) Outkasts of my generation, I ain't never fit in (never!) Now I'm blowin' sour in clubs, I could never get in (light up!) In Tokyo, reminiscin' on my cousin that overdosed Seen a fiend so high, thought he had caught the Holy Ghost (ah!) Catch a body in Harlem, lay low out in the Poconos Watching Scarface wanted to be Alejandro Sosa​ tho [Hook: Royce Da 5'9 & DJ Premier] Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the wrong f**ing era (Microphone check 1-2) Like I'm a hostage cause I'm in the wrong era (Microphone check 1-2) You supposed to be the future of the world You supposed to be the future of the world (Microphone check 1-2) [Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9] Uh I drag individuals, bragging on residuals Divide jiggables, while the flag is indivisible My state is digital How these rappers the hottest, how you rappers the coldest My fireplace is the igloo (oh) What you say is the truth then I salute ya, De-La-Soul I pop the Ruger and pop the new some The extra extensive extent we've gone To send you in witness protection Exit with this throne I can hit you n***as ex Or I can get you n***as x Or I can get you n***as XXXTentacion b**h we not the same thing, me I come from a different world I flip you out yo' frame like the wayne wayne, then hit ya girl Run up bare-faced broad day, the f** ima wrestle for Leave your a** on heavens staircase touched at the chapel door f** you your national anthem, that sh** don't concern me Cause it's your country I'm smoking Monte Crystal Discussing bitcoin and cryptocurrency That's probably why white people stay connected My people stay corrected, white people stay protected From the same dangers in life that my people stay subjected The USA got a race obsession, hatred I hope you know that's why I race my possessions I treat my Porsche like Oprah And my Wraith like Stetman (ah) [Hook: Royce Da 5'9 & DJ Premier] Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the wrong f**ing era (Microphone check 1-2) Like I'm a hostage cause I'm in the wrong era (Microphone check 1-2) You supposed to be the future of the world You supposed to be the future of the world (Microphone check 1-2) [Outro: Royce Da 5'9] PRhyme
