Old and New

Lyrics

[Intro: K-Rino] There's an interesting dynamic starting to develop Old rapper, new rapper, old rapper, new rapper Yeah, let's see what's going on Old rapper, new rapper, haha Boys tripping out here, tell y'all the difference Listen! [Verse 1: K-Rino] New rappers pop tags, new rappers got swag Old rapper heard a new rapper spitting and got mad Old rapper said that the new rapper should not brag On jewelry and cash and what they consider hot trash Youngster said, "Whatever you old rappers did, we shot past 1998 was the year that your product dropped last" Old rapper said, "But we got skills that y'all cannot grasp We did it for years, after two albums y'all flop fast" The young man said, "You jealous of what they pay me, bro You're whole career's money can't compare to what I make at shows" Old rapper shook his head and said, "Yeah, maybe so Buy y'all can never do it like we did it back in '84 See most of y'all are just a passing phase" The new rapper laughed and said, "flip 84 around fool, that's your age Now you say we arrogant but that was kind of funny You working at Khans and I'm making all kinds of money" [Chorus x2: K-Rino] Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that's what I said Instead of tripping on who better, why don't we all just get this bread? [Verse 2: K-Rino] The O.G. said, "Laugh all you want but young man you're wrong The nerve of you to disrespect the foundation you standing on Being humble while your strong is what I'm recommending No one who blew up ever pictured their run ever ending You doing shows worldwide and your record's spinning But the game is long, don't get kicked out in the second inning Longevity I got is what you wanna get" New rapper said, "Yeah, my Daddy used to jam you on cassette But all jokes aside, something that you should consider When y'all are no loner relevant y'all start acting bitter There's lots of older rappers eating, I can name plenty of names Instead of hating on our fame won't you give me some game? And I can give you game 'cause you need understanding now We selling digital units, merchandise and branding now And some of us are disrespectful, but so are y'all" Old rapper said, "Yeah, pride come before a fall" [Chorus x2: K-Rino] Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that's what I said Instead of tripping on who better, why don't we all just get this bread? [Verse 3: K-Rino] It's hard for old school artists to breathe in these climates They wish that they was part of rap's current economics Instead of grinding they stay confined in making comments About how this generation refuse to pay them homage Youngsters in the game wanna see their name with greats But old rappers and new rappers make the same mistakes If you real, you last forever, time can't erase The labels drained us all but we never blame the snakes We see the same reflection, just looking in different mirrors We walk the same roads, just did it in different eras The new rappers say they hate on our accomplishments The old rappers say the new lacking in consciousness Working with each other ought to be what the mission is We can agree to disagree on our differences Young G, I know you're hungry and you're feisty But never criticize something that one day you might be
