Let It Slide
Eric July Lyrics

Looks like we gotta another one of em
Someone else is talking negatively about Eric July

Poppin' out his mouth or the side of his neck when he pouts
The person is talking recklessly and without thought

no argument or rebuttal from
Eric isn't responding or engaging in the negativity

He ain’t from my town, I don’t know em so I’m guessing he’s a clown
Eric doesn't know the person and assumes they are unimportant or foolish

like he wanting me to love on em
The person seems to want attention and admiration from Eric

But you know that ain’t my style, yet he still got my in his mouth
Eric isn't one to engage in negativity, but the person is still talking about him

And I ain’t running for cover from
Eric isn't afraid of the person or their words

a buncha lames how, you figure you’re getting fame from my clout but let’s get this cleared now/
The person is hoping to gain attention or popularity from talking about Eric, but Eric wants to make it clear that it won't work

I’m cold like an eastern February.. but that hatin’ isn’t necessary
Eric isn't concerned with the negativity around him and feels confident in himself

You being petty kuz you see me rising becoming legendary and you talkin' down like you very scary/
The person is intimidated by Eric's success and is trying to bring him down

Get on dude… get on, fooll/
Eric is dismissing the person's negativity and challenging them to try something else

typing or writing on a post to
The person is probably talking about Eric online

Get a cosign when you wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight in produce section at Whole Foods I already told you.
The person is trying to get validation or support from others when they wouldn't actually do anything themselves

Since my adolescence I had to stress that never being less than being excellent is the motto I follow full throttle I gotta be sort of testament and if I strive to do it, be the best at it so testing this is..
Eric has always strived to be the best and sees it as a testament to himself

Rather pointless and pandemonium my opponent is full of bologna/
The person is foolish and their words are meaningless

I’m owning him he’s a phony one 'cause/
Eric sees through the person's lies and doesn't take them seriously

Can’t allow it I’m overpowered like Bowser and your mouth is writing checks with a negative balance you can’t cash that/
The person is making claims they can't actually live up to

I don’t think it’s covered by that Aflac/
The person's negative behavior won't be forgiven or overlooked

highside if you wont but you putting on a bad act/
The person is pretending to be someone they're not

promise you it ain’t worth it, it’s more the getting laughed at/
The person's negativity won't bring them any benefit, only ridicule from others

you don’t wanna task that, so back back and do ablige/
Eric is telling the person to stop with their negativity and move on

I’m killing this like it’s a pesticide/
Eric is successfully defeating the person's negativity

I’m prepared if you get in my, way the endeavors fine I never settle I got the better mind/
Eric is confident in himself and his abilities and won't back down from a challenge

so if you knockin' my grind I just can’t let it ride
If the person is trying to bring Eric down, he won't let them

Nah, Nah. I done did a lot just to get by so I can’t let it slide.
Eric has worked too hard to let negativity bring him down

I escaped the mental shackles I ain’t patience these bastards I can’t let slide
Eric won't let anyone bring him back down or hold him back

I ain’t sayin' I’ll Attack ya I’m sayin' this bigger than rappers I’m saying that you need to back up so back up I’m sayin' that this will not end in a tie
Eric wants the person to know that their negativity won't get anywhere and it's best for them to back off

Hook: I just wanna be who I wanna be (wanna be)
Eric wants to be himself and not let negativity from others bring him down

I ain’t getting in nobody way; but if you get mine then you gonna be (gonna be)
Eric won't interfere with anyone else, but if they attack him then there will be consequences

In a bad place now don’t get me wrong/
The person will face consequences if they continue their negativity

Please don’t misunderstand my tone/
Eric is speaking firmly but not aggressively

I created my own lane so you ain’t got no business being in it.. so you should see why, i can’t let it slide
Eric has worked hard to create his own path and doesn't want anyone trying to disrupt it with negativity
