A song that I wrote about honoring all the Old School artists that I am inspired by.despite the fact that I used to get teased for listening to themwhile I was so young.
Lyrics
1st Verse: They talk about me, cause I like music before my day
I get down on some Motown or a little Donny Hathaway
No disrespect, some of you new guys are real, real cool
But it just ain't nothing like, that Old School
Vamp: Old school makes you feel alright
Old school makes your dark days bright
Old school heals the hurt, when your lover ain't treating you right
Old school chases the clouds away
Old school brings you a brighter day
Old school had real words to say, not like some of the stuff you hear today.
Chorus: I'm a young man, but I love that Ol Skool
getting on down, to those old grooves
hear me now, when I say to you
there ain't nothing like, like that Ol Skool.
I can hear James Brown, singing Please, Please Please
Or what about Candy Licker by Marvin Sease
Sam Cooke is singing about the Chain Gang
I love me some Old School, that's my thang, well, well, well
Vamp: Old school makes you feel alright
Old school makes your dark days bright
Old school heals the hurt, when your lover ain't treating you right
Old school chases the clouds away
Old school brings you a brighter day
Old school had real words to say, put on some Marvin Gaye.
Chorus: I'm a young man, but I love that Ol Skool
getting on down, to those old grooves
hear me now, when I say to you
there ain't nothing like, like that Ol Skool.
