After breaking several records with "Old Town Road," Lil Nas X has been feeling the pressure for his future projects to match that success.

The singer added that with the release of this latest single, "We will begin a new era! see u guys there."

Quotable Lyrics

A dime and a nine, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline, God was shinin' on me
Now I can't leave
And now I'm actin' hella elite
Never want the n*ggas that's in my league
I want to f*ck the ones I envy, I envy
