[Intro: Adrian Younge]
The golden era of recording, took place in 1968 to 1973
It's a time when, a hard sound was raw and unrefined
This is where you could find the seeds of hip-hop

[Royce Da 5'9"]
Comes back around again
L-Boogie, is you with me?
What goes around comes back around again
Ice Berg, is you with me?
What goes around comes back around again
Nasty Nas, is you with me?
At this very moment
You 'bout to witness another golden era of recordin

Let's shine a light on this real shit, real shit
The Lord won't put too much on you than you can deal with
I learned early why deal drugs when I can deal wit?
Plus I'm down to kill plus switch kills, kill a friend of yours quick
like flippin the kill switch
Me bein the illest +It Was Written+, my lyrics are +Illmatic+ though
Before the skateboarders controlled the genre
Your favorite rapper was still radical
We came from standstill to Chitlin circuits to fan-built arenas
So flashin rifles on your Instagram and throwin bitches off the roof
only work if you Dan Bilzerian
So me on this landscape is like usin an anthill for skiing
I'm like a young Marshon trapped in his dark prime
Roamin the premises with a shopping cart blind with carte blanche to chart climb
These rappers are soft, they take L's, embarrassin
Doin light-skinned nigga shit so they pale in comparison

[Chorus: Royce Da 5'9"]
At this very moment
You 'bout to witness another golden era of recordin (ah-one-two, one-two)
Lyrics is social commentary, money for yo' commissary
It's the golden era of recordin (ah-one-two)
Where it's cool to battle your demons, it's cool to battle no matter who you are
The golden era of recordin (ah-one-two)
It's music out here for everybody no matter who you is
We live in the golden era of recordin (ah-one-two)

[Royce Da 5'9"]
Let's shine a light on this real shit, real quick
I'm a true karma chameleon, I've been through the illest, the ill shit
I believe he who escapes the environment unscathed should have nothin to say
Therefore he shouldn't make it if he never got punched in the face
Let's take it back to the basics
That'll save him from gettin punched in the face after he makes it
I'm from the Motor City
It was intended for me to work in factory places
I chose to drink liters of Hennessy with Daiquiri chasers
If everybody around you is the kind that'll take a mile if you give 'em an inch
The time it'll take
for you to fall out with all of them niggaz, that could mean acres
Plus the time it'll take for you to realize that rappers could be fakers
You went and disputin the bullshit Twitter revolution
Hope you could breathe way better in your "He can't breathe" shirts
Mention me or mine in your rhyme
It's gon' look like you went around Mayweather in a "He can't read" shirt
Cause I'm more the riotin type, nigga

[Chorus]

[Joey Bada$$]
Uhh, uhh, and I'm somethin like a big deal
Need six mil', for the deal, check the witty appeal
Throw up New York, Yuck City feel will fill
I'm too real and too gritty I feel
Ready to kill, +Ready to Die+
R.I.P. to Biggie, rep BK the Stuy, bring your honey to this beehive
We bustin cousin, fuck a introduction
We live, my young'ns want it, gunnin for them hundreds
My niggaz is head-hunting, and it's duck season for assumption
She took the top off, I started dumpin, she was ruthless
She licked the cocka for poppa like, she was toothless
You got a different persona from what the truth is
Sucker nigga stuck on stupid, it's nothin new
All these hoes suckin dick and they get, so comfortable up under you
Fake players and fake gangsters
Sellin dreams, make-believe schemes, it's San Andreas
I'll take your bitch and slay her, but I don't really like to boast
I know I'm just that dope, I'll take a toast
Big L's is gettin smoked yo, to the illest coast
A livin ghost in the motherfuckin belly of the coast
What's up?

[Chorus]

[Outro: DJ Premier scratching sample of Canibus]
"Golden e-, golden e-, golden era"
"Golden e-, golden e-, golden era"
"Golden era, go-go-go-go-golden era"
