Golden Era (feat. Ashley Claire)

I was born a legend from the flames
This is my time to shine, so I raise my blade
I stay loyal to my fam, ain't no renegade
They thought I'd never make it, man they said I'd fade away

I was born a legend from the flames
I've been through the worst, you can hear my pain
There's gold inside my blood, it's running through my veins
Light the spark inside my heart, now watch me detonate

Let me tell you about my life
My momma once taught me how to live right
She taught me that when times are dark, there's always the light
And to get to where I wanna be, I gotta fight

Might be hard 'cause I'm Asian
Might be hard 'cause they racist
Might be hard 'cause I ain't famous
Might be hard 'cause I got problems
Might be hard 'cause I can't solve 'em
Might be hard because I've fallen
Yet I'm here, so that's ironic, uh

I used to be the kid nobody wanted
Now I'm changing people's lives even though I'm still in college
Used to rap inside a closet, now I'm rapping at these concerts
Yeah, I might've made a profit, but it's not why I'm the hottest
Like a diamond, rhymes are polished
I'm taking off in a rocket
Miracle like I'm a comet
I'ma make it, that's a promise
I don't need no fancy office
I don't care what's in my wallet
Spreading truth like I'm a prophet
This my era, you can't stop it

I've come too far now to turn back
Welcome to my magnum opus soundtrack
It's time to hop out from the pitch black
I'm legendary like the dragon on my zodiac

Hey, oh
It's our time, it's the golden era
Hey, oh
All the time, show them what we're made of
I'm gonna keep fighting, gonna keep grinding
Go until my fingers bleed
Hey, oh
It's our time, it's the golden era

(It's the golden era)
Aye, woo (Yeah)
It's the- it's the golden era (No, yeah)
It's our time (Yeah), it's the golden era

People always wanna watch you fall
They wanna see you crash into that brick wall
They wanna see you cry inside that empty hall
But I'ma rise from the ashes, gonna stand tall

People always wanna watch you fall
They wanna make you feel like you're something small
They wanna make you feel like you failed and lost
Don't listen to it all, just know that you're above the law

Rise up, break the rules
Show the world who's really cool
This the golden age of music
Take advantage now and use it
Cut the dead weight, there ain't no time to waste
It's time to beat the race, you cannot play it safe
Just elevate and dominate

I was beat, I was weak
I bowed down on my knees
I used to plead, I used to beg
I was lost in my own head
I hated life, I hated mine
Tried to numb it with small knives
Now I'm fine, this is my time
Ain't no way that I'm gonna die, no

I've come too far now to turn back
Welcome to my magnum opus soundtrack
It's time to hop out from the pitch black
I'm legendary like the dragon on my zodiac

Hey, oh
It's our time, it's the golden era (Oh, it's our time)
Hey, oh
All the time, show them what we're made of (Show them what we're made of)
I'm gonna keep fighting, gonna keep grinding
Go until my fingers bleed
Hey, oh
It's our time, it's the golden era

(It's the golden era)
Aye, woo (Yeah)
It's the- it's the golden era (No, yeah)
It's our time (Yeah), it's the golden era
(It's our time now)
