Story behind the song
We wanted to do an Old Skool feeling song.
Lyrics
[Hook x2]
We bringin it back to the days when rap was gold /
And you could kill it on a microphone, I'm sayin //
When you could speak on a beat with a real phat poem /
N' say whatever n' leave the gat at home, replay it //
[Graffiti]
Whatever happened to Slick Rick or Masta Ace /
We play the tapes of the greats and break the fakes //
Can you relate to the days of Daddy Kane /
Wu-Tang stay rippin ya brain, stick to the same //
Topic, like Pete Rock droppin knowledge /
Kool Giancana, Rakim, Guru, Bambaataa //
Breakdancin' on the block where they beat box /
FreeThrow the rock from the top with a jumpshot //
Ya hear the melody it's sendin me to Symphony /
It's the epitome of illest rappers spittin free //
*beatbox a bar* /
That's a forgotten art, ya use ya mouth to box a beat //
I never hear a record scratch from a DJ /
I only hear the cans clack whenever we spray //
Lemme grab a fat cap n' a new york thin /
So you can see my old skool from within //
[Hook x2]
We bringin it back to the days when rap was gold /
And you could kill it on a microphone, I'm sayin //
When you could speak on a beat with a real phat poem /
N' say whatever n' leave the gat at home, replay it //
[Graffiti]
Remember RunDMC when they were raising hell /
Kurtis Blow had The Breaks, and now the Boogie Down //
Sugar Hill gave us all a delight, and then the mic /
Got taken by LL he held it right //
We had the Juice Crew, and The Leaders of the New School /
Brand Nubian and the Universal Zulu //
Grandmaster Flash with the Furious Five /
And Public Enemy was always down to rhyme //
Everybody caught the Vapors when Biz spoke /
Remember Salt-N-Pepa when the stopped Rick's show //
Man, I wanna hear a jam from De La Soul /
Or Black Sheep when they told me "The Choice is Yours" //
I wish the radio was bumpin again /
When I could listen to anything and chill with a friend //
Gimmie a pad of paper, hand me a pen /
So you can see my old skool from within //
[Hook x2]
We bringin it back to the days when rap was gold /
And you could kill it on a microphone, I'm sayin //
When you could speak on a beat with a real phat poem /
N' say whatever n' leave the gat at home, replay it //

ITS IIGHT, HIT EM WITH IT LOW
HELL TO THE NO they dont play that on the radio
One song I remember blasting in december was
Ain't no half-stepping cuz the mac tekkin
the background, nowadays thats all I hear (should be in my "ear")
Am i supposed to duck at every 50 song I hear?
Wazup "Dont Believe the Hype"- Public Enemy
"Freak come out at night" by Whodini
"Walk this way" by Run-DMC
Call me Crazy, but who made "L.P.P."
I can't front Naughty by Nature, I hate ya
Cuz ya new songs for hoes like the chicks on flava.
Vanilla Ice make's new cats look like mice
Plus I could get his tape for the double the price
House of Pain to this day day making me hop
Im still blasting TLC in my boombox.(Niucca)
