5) New Era Kids ft. Duenday

[In2wishin]
Mike Lipset and Duenday, yes…
Sweat pants, grey shirt, face hurt from the chapness
Minneapolis winters got me moving fastest,
To get from point A to B like Mapquest
I’m on a mission, no reversing no backsteps
No resting, six hour maximum,
Hear a million voices say they’re gonna go platinum
Well rap is dumb, def and blind
And I’m Anne Sullivan’n when I’m writing this rhyme, so
Zero-one-zero-one-one-one it’s all digital talk, media conundrum
Telling you to buy pointless things till your fun’s done
Life’s no cake-walk so you better run-run
Some run guns, well I run wire
Up to my mouth where I spit to inspire
So hopefully growth will not be hard to achieve
And if you’re feeling me then believe, believe, believe…

[Initial MC]
One step at a time we gotta climb up
And in this world of design we gotta find us
And try to outshine everything that blinds us
So lift your mind up, kid, lift your mind up
[Lipset]
Old stories more boring than your parents is
That’s why every night we live a new narrative
Keeping the whereabouts close like a therapist
It’s a musical cure, we’re some New Era Kids…

I got a pair of eyes wise to what’s coming in
That’s why I never succumb to visual punishment
And keep the tube turned away from all the hate and drama
New era madonnas learn to swim, but I pirhanna
So what you wanna do? Anywhere you wanna go,
Winter wonderland like they used to have in Nagano,
Blowing the naga now and digging the cotton mouth
In order to ensure the rhymes are never watered down
So get with me
“Ohhhh!!!”
Somebody pinch me
“Ayyyyyyy!!!”
A listener’s dream come true, Lipset and Duenday
You’re just hearing the pen play above hysterical beats
You didn’t know that this is what the New Era could be
If you’re really feeling me, consume this audible meal
Lift your mind out of the fake, proceed to keeping it real
And you can physically feel the way we lyrically heal
With pharmaceutical raps, cause the new way is to legally deal

[Initial MC]
I’m on a new direction, I’ve walked many paths
And learned my lesson that it’s not about what you have
A straight blessing when I’m writing down these new raps
The truth has many faces, look at all these cool cats
Who’s that? Yo, it’s Matt from the D-U-
E-N-D-A-Y yea I see you,
I need you, whether we be live on stage
Or we locked up staring at these bars like a D-U-
I wonder why sometimes they wanna be you
And rhyme about all sort of things that couldn’t be true
We need to take a step back and look
When our high school’s filled with more crack than books
It’s like, yo, let me keep it real for a quick sec,
Duenday and Lipset, never gonna get rest,
Yes, until the whole world’s aware of it,
Tell all these boys and girls we New Era Kids
