I'm convinced
I am really from another era
Circa 96
Family doing good
In the hood
Music live as shit
Get ya wig tossed
For some ghostwriting biting shit
They would say you soft
You would never see the light again
Half you rappers wouldn't last circa 96
All your secrets put on blast circa 96
I am from the era 96
Lately I'm convinced
It was written was written man Im sure
Reminiscent of the score
Lil Kim hard core
The Flow—too illmatic though it dropped in 94
Plus I'm in one in a million
I ain't going back and forth
Wit you vagabonds
You can tag a long
Bring ya dad and mom
Saddest song
Flex a have a bomb
Any track I'm on
Have it wrong
This is not a sprint
It's a marathon
Catalogue still be getting spins
More than half is gone
You can say
This ain't nothing but a
Stuck in 90s track
That's okay
That's what made me dope so yo
So I'm fine with that
Be on your way
Nothing that I heard so far
Is touching that
That stans will think
Red is just hater but can't say I'm wack
I'm sorry hey
Usually you can skip it
But you ran it back
I rest my case
You should prolly keep this hear on wax before it escalates
I do spread the peace
But ain't no telling when in retrograde
Who can mess with Shaydez
Who can
Gas prices was hittin
We was fucking with Clinton
East vs west coast
Had the world filled with tension
I Heard my mother on the phone
I got closer and listened
She said Tupac got shot
And we're all gonna miss him
Sad we lossed many victims
That still find suspicious
Everybody goes missin
Soon as their focus starts shiftin
There was the Atlanta Olympics
And movies don't be a menace
And you could still play the dozens
And nobody offended
We had nutty professor
And respectable weather
Neighbors stayed looking out
Families were still together
Sister sister wayanas brothers with Martin
Kenan and Kel
In the house living single moesha
I see it well
And of course there moments
That aren't for me to tell
Ain't saying it all was perfect
Never lose how I felt
These just some minor stints
And frankly and found them since
Been lookin for where I fit
It's the Circa of 96 bitch
Look I respect everything's everybody doing (I do)
But what I'm tryna tell y'all is I'm from another era
For me bars still matter (Bars still matter)
I'm about bars
See I'm even talking on the track like they did in the 90s
Y'all don't even do that no more (Y'all don't)
I'm convinced
I am really from another era
Circa 96
Family doing good
In the hood
Music live as shit
Get ya wig tossed
For some ghostwriting biting shit
They would say you soft
You would never see the light again
Half you rappers wouldn't last circa 96
All your secrets put on blast circa 96
I am from the era 96
Lately I'm convinced
