Album: Me Against the World

Track No: 12

Here we go, we gonna send this one out to the old school
All these motherfuckers in the Bronx and Brooklyn and Staten Island, Queens
And all the motherfuckers that laid it down, the foundation
Ya know what I'm saying? Nothing but love for the old school
That's who were going to do this one for, ya feel me?
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
I remember Mr. Magic, Flash, Grandmaster Caz
LL, raising hell, but that didn't last
Eric B and Rakim was the shit to me
I flipped to see a Doug E Fresh show with Ricky D
And Red Alert was putting in work
And Chuck Chill had my homies on the hill gettin' ill
When shit was real, went out to steal
Remember Raw with Daddy Kane?
When De La Soul was puttin' potholes in the game
I can't explain how it was
Whodini had me puffin' on that buddha
Gettin' buzzed, 'cause there I was
Them block parties in the projects and on my block
Yo diggy don't stop
Sippin' on that Private Stock
Through my speaker, Queen Latifah and MC Lyte
Listen to Treach, KRS to get me through the night
With T La Rock and Mantronix to Stetsasonic
Remember "Push it" was the bomb shit
Nothin' like the old school
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
I had Shell Toes and BVD's
A killer crease inside my Lee's when I hit the streets
I'm playin' skelly, ring-a-levio, or catch a kiss
Before the homies in my hood learned to smack a bitch
I remember way back
The weak weed they had
Too many seeds in the trey bag
I'm on the train headin' uptown
Freestylin' with some wild kids from Bucktown, profilin'
'Cause the hoochies were starin'
Thinkin', why them **** swearin'?
I'm wondering if that's her hair
I remember, stick ball
Pump the hoochies on the wall
Or taking leaks on the steps, stinkin' up the hall
Through my childhood, wild as a juvenile
A young **** tryna stay away from Riker's Isle
Me and my homies breakin' nights, tryna keep it true
Out on the roof sippin' 90 proof
Ain't nothin' like the old school
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
Remember poppin' and lockin' to Kurtis Blow, the name belts
And Scott LaRock, the Super Ho, back in Latin Quarters
When Slick Rick was spittin' La-Di-Da-Di
Gamin' the hoochies at the neighborhood block parties
I remember breakdancing to Melle Mel
Jekyll and Hyde, LL when he Rocks the Bells
Forget the TV about to hit the streets and do graffiti
Be careful don't let the transit cops see me
Ain't nothin' like the old school
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
What more could I say?
What more could I say?
What more could I say?
