Get your hands up!
|
|
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
|
Where my people that's, over 20 now
|
Where my people that's, over 30 now
|
Where my people that's, over 40 now
|
Classic, that's what they call us now
|
|
[KRS-One]
|
It's your teacher, welcome to my classroom
|
Who's he, what's that, yo you better ask soon
|
It's the K to the R to the S One
|
By now, I think it's real, I'm the best one
|
Yes son~! I take it to the old school
|
I spit superrhymes cause "I am so cool..."
|
... a duel?
|
You must be fool, player you know the rules!
|
I take it to the old school quick
|
Get Fresh Crew, Doug E. Fresh, "The Adventures of Slick Rick"
|
It gets so sick, cause I ain't no joke
|
This song goes out to grown folk like Tone Loc
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[KRS-One]
|
I'm "Smooth" like Big Daddy Kane, no bull
|
Check out "My Melody," I'm "Paid in Full"
|
Before "The Chronic" I was Stetsasonic
|
Old school, true school, oh yes sir I'm it!
|
1985 bumpin Mantronix
|
1995 gettin slammed with Onyx
|
2005 doin shows with comics
|
2015 we still gon' rock shhhh
|
With dough, 'dro my flow in the pocket
|
I'm already 40 some say I need to stop it
|
Call ME when it's time to really hip-hop it
|
I'm true school, if you wasn't there don't knock it!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[KRS-One]
|
Every year I get newer, this goes out to the future
|
Just like Slick Rick the Ruler, KRS a true schooler
|
You wanna be down man when I'm layin it down man
|
Place all packed I'm bringin the heat with soundman
|
C'mon lay it down man! Movin the crowd man
|
Television viewin is down man
|
Radio listenin down man; you can't say
|
you was doin it better than we was around man!
|
We was down for the Rage and we was Against the Machine
|
Now we turned the page and we the mainstream
|
Servin the same fiends, but are we on the same team
|
that was prophesied in Dr. King's dream?
|
No matter how things seem I stay with the original plan
|
Teachin our children original man
|
And who's the "Criminal" clan?
|
My '86 lyrics then you hear it helped you build and expand
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
...

|
[Chorus]
