“Hoe Era” is the second diss track by Ray Vaughn in his ongoing beef with Joey Bada$$, succeeding “Crashout Heritage” in January 2025. The cover art depicts a shirt with a text reading “HOE ERA”, along with a picture of Joey crossed out.
This disstrack was exclusively released on YouTube, only one day after Joey took several shots at Ray and fellow West Coast rapper Daylyt in his, Big Sean, and Ab-Soul’s “Red Bull Spiral Freestyle”.
LYRICS
[Intro]
I already know you been talkin’ bout me, haha
Yeah, yeah, n-gga’s on that shit again, man
Huh, yeah, n-gga’s on ’em tough, on ’em tough
On ’em-, yeah
[Chorus]
Ayy, Ho-ey, is you stupid or you dumb?
Poppin’ it then spin it ’bout a 20v1
Ayy, Ho-ey, is you finished or you done?
We don’t give a fuck where you from, where you from
[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh, okay, what’s up, shut up
Uh-huh, okay, what’s up, shut up
[Verse 1]
Baby teeth, you don’t even got a plaque yet
Fact check, we wanna see them numbers like a math test
Run, Joey, run, we gon’ aim it at yo’ backpack
Real shit, you should act more, you should rap less
Every verse a-s, what that BBL cost?
West coast get it season, now you heavy on the salt (What?)
Catch him at the Staple center, bet you I’ma spark
Goofy, don’t let power get yo’ TV turned off, n-gga, what?
You done ran into them steppers
Conductor got you soundin’ like you in a jazz band
Why you goin’ after Dot? He think he Pacman, woo
CJ like forty and he on drugs
Clickbaitin’ for a honeycomb, get yo’ own buzz
Skeletons inside my closet playin’ Bone Thugs
I’ll put the whole Pro Era on a pro club
See upcoming rap shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Chorus]
Ayy, ho, is you stupid or you dumb?
Poppin’ it then spin it ’bout a 20v1
Ayy, ho, is you finished or you done?
We don’t give a fuck where you from, where you from
[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh, okay, what’s up, shut up
Uh-huh, okay, what’s up, shut up (Where you from?)
[Verse 2]
Want smoke, I’m a vape lord
Walk around with .9 on me, feel like I’m in great war
I can send him to the stars, he get paid for it
But standin’ next to Soul ain’t gon’ save yours
Every verse, ho talkin’ ’bout, “I’m back”
We don’t give a fuck ’bout where you was or where you at
See, the fans only know you for the acts, not the blaps
I know where you wasn’t, you was never on the map
We don’t give a fuck ’bout where you was or where you at
Look, sleep with one eye open, I’m in Futurama
Old heads ain’t tryna school you, let me do the honor
Stupid a-s n-gga, I can tell he never been in drama
And nobody, I was ready for yo’ baby mama (For sure)
Call yourself speakin’ for the coast without backup
Dropped a little three-track EP and, n-gga, that sucked
See what happened last time I act a beef with rapper
How you on TV and yo’ homie usin’ CapCut?
[Refrain]
Get active (Get active), stop actin’ (Stop actin’)
Get active (Get active), gain traction (Get active)
[Verse 3]
Your last slap was in 2017
And I play ball, I can deal with n-ggas on the screen
Ray whoppa, quick to turn a to a rollout
Heard the moved the goalpost every time we show out
Here’s a line convo’, it really is a blowout
Dot didn’t respond, now you tryna call Cole out? Dumbass
[Chorus]
Ayy, ho, is you stupid or you dumb?
Poppin’ it then spin it ’bout a 20v1
[Verse 4]
Ayy, Rakim stupid a-s, think he Rak-him
TDE superstars, jealousy ain’t locked in
I done peeled so many caps, I go to medschool
Bullets flyin’ by, sounds like sounds on the Neptunes
Thought the beef was lobster, really it was Deadpool
For that energy I gave him wings, once I red bull
Sorry not sorry, shit was weak, pardon me (Pardon me)
He made a whole EP, coppin’ pleas (Coppin’ what?)
Black man, let him breathe, let him breathe
Nah, fuck that, hang on from the popular trees
He had y’all food like he do it for the sport (For the sport)
I’m Snoop Dogg kickin’ over his lil’ fort, bing (Aww)
B-tch, you washed, you ain’t carryin’ no torch
You let Ice Spice turn into the king of New York, what the fuck? (Yeah)
[Refrain]
Get active (Get active), stop actin’ (Stop actin’)
Get active (Get active), stop actin’ (Stop actin’)
Get active (Get active), stop actin’ (Stop actin’)
Get active (Get active), stop actin’
