Here we go we gonna send this one out to da ol school
|
All these motherfuckas in the Bronx and Brooklyn, Staten Island,
|
Queens and all the motherfuckas that laid it down the foundation.
|
Ya know what I'm sayin, Nothin' but love for da old school. Dats who
|
we gonna do this one for ya feel me.
|
|
CHORUS: what mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
|
If da old school didn't pave the way
|
|
I remember Mr. Magic Cash, Grand Master Flash, L.L raisin' hell
|
but it didn't last Eric B. and Rakim was da shit ta me I'd flip
|
to see a Dougie Fresh Show with Rickie G and Red Alert was puttin'
|
in work, and Chuck Chill had my homies on the hill gettin' ill,when
|
shit was real. Well I can still remember Raw with Daddy Cain, when De La
|
Soul was puttin' potholes in the game. I can't explain how it was,
|
Whodini had me puffin' on dat buddha gettin' buzzed, cuz there I was
|
Them block parties in da projects and on my block and tic ya don't stop
|
ya sippin' on dat private stock. And through my speakers Queen Latifah
|
and MC Lyte Listen to Treach and KRS ta get me through the night. With
|
Te La Rock and Madtronics with Stetsasonic, remember when Push it was da
|
bomb shit,
|
Ain't nothin' like da old school
|
|
CHORUS: What more can I say I wouldn't be here today if da old school
|
didn't pave the way
|
|
I had Shell toes and BVD's, a killa preaca shot my lees when I hit da
|
streetz. I'm playin' Skelly, Ring-a-levio when and catch a kiss, before
|
my homies in my hood learned ta smack a bitch. I remember, way back
|
da weak weed they had, too many seeds in da trade bag. Im on a train
|
headin' uptown freestylin' with some wild kids from Bucktown, Profilin'
|
cuz da hoochies were starin', checkin' what a niggaz wearin' I'm
|
wonderin' if dats her hair, I remember stick ball, humpin' hoochies on
|
da wall, takin' leaks up on da steps stinkin' up da hall. Through my
|
childhood wild as a juvenile a young nigga tryin' ta stay away from
|
Riker's Isle, Me and my homies breakin' ice tryin' ta keep it true out
|
on da roof sippin' 90 proof
|
ain't nothin' like da old school
|
|
CHORUS: What more can I say...
|
|
Remember Poppin and Lockin with Curtis Blow, the Daybelts, and Skat la
|
Rock da super hole back in latin corners. When Slick Rick was spittin'
|
Lodi Dodi, gaming no hoochies at da neighborhood block parties, I
|
remember breakdancin' to Mel E Mel, Jeckyl and Hyde, L.L. when he rocked
|
da bells forget da T.V I'd rather hit da streets and do grafitti be
|
careful don't let the transit cops see me
|
It ain't nothin' like da old school
|
It ain't nothin' like da old school
|
|
Chorus: What more can I say......
|
|
PAC: remember seein' Brooklyn go crazy up in the motherfuckin party?
|
Remember MothaFukas used ta go"Is Brooklyn in da House" and Motherfuckas
|
would lose they god damn minds. That's da old school to me
|
(SUPER ROB)
|
Thats what I'm sayin' I remember goin' places and mothafukas was scared
|
to say they was from anywhere but brooklyn. That shit was da bomb back
|
in da motherfukin' old school nigga, Remember Skelly niggas knockin
|
niggaz out the box, popin' boxes, (MY ADIDAS) Remember stick ball,
|

|
