[Tupac Talking] Here we go we gonna send this one out to
the old school
All these motherfuckas
in the Bronx and Brooklyn and Staten Island
Queens and all the motherfukas that
laid it down the foundation
Ya know what I'm sayin
Nothin' but love for
tha 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 tha old school didn't pave the way
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Nothing
like the old school) 2x
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way [Verse 1]
I
remember Mr. Magic Flash, Grand Master Cash, LL 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
Cause
there I was
Them block parties in the 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
Nothin' like tha old school
[Chorus] What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Ain't
nothing like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Nothing
like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Hmm,
hmm ... there ain't nothing like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Nothing
like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(There
ain't nothing like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way
(Nothing
like the old school)
What
mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If tha old school didn't pave the way [Verse 2] Heh heh.
I
had Shell toes and BVD's
A killa preacha 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
I'm on a train headin' uptown
Freestylin'
with some wild kids from Bucktown
Profilin' cuz da hoochies was starin',
checkin' what a niggaz wearin'
I'm wonderin' if dats her hair
I remember
stick ball
Humpin' hoochies on da wall
Or 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] [Verse 3]
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
tha hoochies at da neighborhood block parties
I remember breakdancin'
to Mel E Mel
Jeckyl and Hyde, LL when he rocked da bells
Forget the TV
I'd rather hit tha streets and do
graffiti
Be careful don't let the transit
cops see me
It ain't nothin' like tha old school
[Chorus]
[Tupac
Talking] Remember seein'
Brooklyn go crazy up in the motherfuckin party?
Remember Mothafuckas used ta
go "Is Brooklyn in da House" and motherfuckas would lose they god
damn minds
That's tha old school to me
(SUPER
ROB)
That's 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
motherfuckin' old school nigga
Remember Skelly niggas knockin' niggaz out the
box, popin' boxes
(MY ADIDAS)
Remember stick ball
Remember niggaz used
to
run dat shit like that?
Remember
(L.L. COOL J IS HARD AS HELL)
screamin' up at
ya moms from da window?
The Ice cream trucks
Remember all the..
Remember
the Italian Icees yo
Remember the Italian Icees
The spanish niggas comin'
down with the coconut icees and shit?
(I CAME THROUGH DA DOOR SAID IT
BEFORE.. DAT WAS DA SHIT) |
