[Intro]
|
Yeah
|
Loptimist
|
Legendary KO
|
Second time around
|
You know, we've been in the game for a minute
|
And there's a lot of young cats out there
|
That just can't quite cut it
|
That just don't have what we used to have
|
It's like this yo
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Don't make em like they used to
|
They don't make them like they used to
|
You can't make em like they used to
|
Nah, they don't do it like we used to
|
Cause they don't make em like they used to
|
You can't make em like they used to
|
Don't make em like they used to
|
Yeah, like they used to
|
|
[Verse 1 : Damien Randle]
|
Say it again
|
They don't make em like they used to
|
Back in 92 when I was just another new dude
|
Wet behind the ears, just here to get my crew through
|
Sweat, blood, and tears, there's nothing we wouldn't do to
|
Make a mark, swim in the middle of shark week
|
On any given night spent hitting the concrete
|
Big up the name till the game was complete
|
A lot of big spenders in the end who talk cheap
|
But little fish in the pond got seasick
|
And ate the bigger fish, now it's no more secret
|
The world couldn't wait for the debut street hit
|
Didn't take the bait, had to self-release it
|
The dream wouldn't end, it would only increase then
|
Had a new cause we could find belief in
|
Nonstop, 20-hour days were frequent
|
With no time to sleep and gave up the weekend
|
Fast forward, three world tours and counting
|
We put it on the line trying to scale that mountain
|
It's not something that you really see any longer
|
Whatever didn't kill us only made us stronger
|
Why?
|
|
[Chorus 2]
|
Cause they don't make em like they used to
|
They can't make em like they used to
|
They don't do it like we used to
|
They can't make em like they used to
|
|
[Verse 2 : Damien Randle]
|
So let me be a little candid
|
Nowadays you're just getting handed a standard
|
Pre-approved and branded, watered down, diluted
|
Prototypical artist, charted out of a blueprint
|
It's like nothing's new under the sun
|
So when you get around to do it's done so maybe
|
You shouldn't settle in and do as you're told
|
I'm an original, they broke the mold when they made me
|
I'm not old or new school, I'm mid-school
|
None of these new dudes have seen what I've been through
|
Or been the places I've been to
|
Or seen the potential, they're missing on the vital essentials
|
Learn from the path I made
|
From the tracks I've laid
|
Footprints like ants on parade
|
Going through the motions, this ain't no charade
|
Ain't no charade, ain't no charade
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Cause why?
|
They don't do it like we used to
|
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
|
They can't get it like we used to
|
Cause they don't make em like they used to
|
They don't make em like they used to
|
Can't make em like they used to
|
They don't do it like we used to
|
Can't make em like they used to
|
|
[Scratch : DJ Switch]
|
Now our days hip hop is a lost cause fuck the rap
|
New school.. u fucked up
|
Shut the fuck up
|
U ain't ready yet
|
Back to the old school of rap
|
There's no other way
|
Old school
|
Out of sight out ofmind
|
We bring it back
|
Fuck the rap shit
|
