Old School

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Deacon the Villain, Kno & SOS] Before R. Kelly had his teens, Wu-Tang had their C.R.E.A.M.  Slick Rick had his rings, crack rock had its fiends Martin Luther had his dreams, Stevie Wonder could sing Or Elvis was king—hip-hop was on the scene Nah meeeeen, go back like Hitchcock's' hairline Taught Fred Astaire how to pop lock in my spare time I caught a ride on Noah's ark 'cause I had a pair of Puma's and two chickens on my arm That's true...... and when I came through Noticed Noah was first to "check 1, check 2" Guess who rescued Rapunzel Climbing up her gold weave, then made her braid her hair like Alicia Keys Before EPMD met gold-diggers fuckin' for VISAs I was the first to pimp Jezebel and Mona Lisa And made 'em famous way before Eminem could flow Even ran triz with JFK on Marilyn Monroe...Oh [Hook Scratching] "Blow the spot with some old school shit" - Rah Digga on Talib Kweli's "Down For The Count" "I'm so old school"- Jay-Z off of "Jigga That Nigga" "I'm old school like my dad is"- J-Ro on De La Soul's "My Writes" "True, that's old school"- Yasiin Bey off of "Very Well" "I'll bust that old school boom bap all over this map"- Declaime on Lootpacks's "Episodes" (x2) "From the old school I consider loyally true" - Big Punisher off of "You Came Up" [Verse 2: Deacon the Villain, Kno & SOS] I'm so old school I was at the Last Supper serving soul food And Arroz con Pollo', but I bet you had no clue That pilgrims were the first to name women after produce And that was the first Road Rules without toll booths Even when Adam and Eve sat by the weed tree I told Eve, "Please don't tell him touch my weed leaves." But after I showed him Cypress Hill, he loved fire Then Eve left and became the first lady of Ruff Ryders Had a horse carriage, sitting on dubs, coasting Smacked the thoroughbred in the ass and hit the 3-wheel motion Since a Frank and Jesse James shoot-out in the streets Had a scoundrel c-walkin', shootin' bullets at his feet I had Michelangelo put down the horsehair brushes Started doing end to end burners on buses Trust this, put King Midas' touch to use He grabbed my bead necklace now I'm rockin truck jewels When lightin' struck Ben Frank's kite and sent currents through He was the first to electric boogaloo The wop, robot and helicopter on the pavement And in amazement, he was even Harlem-Shakin' [Hook - Scratching] "Blow the spot with some old school shit" - Rah Digga on Talib Kweli's "Down For The Count" "I'm so old school"- Jay-Z off of "Jigga That Nigga" "I'm old school like my dad is"- J-Ro on De La Soul's "My Writes" "True, that's old school"- Mos Def on BlackStarr's "Very Well" "I'll bust that old school boom bap all over this map"- Declaime on Lootpacks's "Episodes" (x2) "From the old school I consider loyally true"- Big Pun off of "You Came Up" [Verse 3: Deacon the Villain, Kno & SOS] Transylvania was flossed out... but the facts have changed Like, me selling Dracula some platinum cap for his fangs Throwing daisy dukes upon that Mary Magdalene dame When she ran game, tricked me up out my platinum chain I had American Indians sending smoke signals with hydro Giving villages contact matching blunts with Tonto Spelling S.O.S. with my eyes closed Even battled Henry VIII with my rhyme flow and made his wives my hoes I told Jesus that GZA said sandals were feminine So he copped some shelltoes and suede Timberlands Remember when KRS ripped Shan? Do your homework That was Amadeus playing the 'Bridge Is Over' Moses parted two tables with a mixer and played great With his DJ crates, before him we played tapes I sipped fine wine with Einstein back in the days MC Squared was his stage name and he rocked grey braids That was before we could sit and play, Kid N Play Or Nefertiti rocked the first flat-top fade But anyway... flip through your history books You'll see about a million pictures of these infamous crooks Cunninlynguists!! [Outro: scratching] "Old School" "Word"
