[Intro]
Ayo let me show what I take as old school, know'msayin'?
I don't give a f** if I'm right or wrong, all right?
7 Pounds!
[Scratches]
[Verse 1]
I'd like to see the only thing was bumpin' was 2Pac
Biggie Smalls, Eazy-E and Big L on the boombox
On the front stairs where momma lived
Sharin' your rhymes with all of your peers
Girls pa**in' by, playin' tag with the brothers
Even paid respect to the homies in the corners
A couple of kids huddled up in a bunch
Kickin' freestyles before and after lunch
Other beatbox, someone goes acapella
All with the dreams of flowin' on Def Jam records
Doug E. Fresh was givin' a show
From his fans you only listened "we want an encore!"
Eminem was startin', 50 Cent too
They didn't know for how many sh** they would be through
I should've been born in the middle of the 70's
'cause right now I could've had all those memories
[Scratches]
[Verse 2]
Clappin' at the rythm of The Breaks
Get Kurtis Blow's vinyl, no matter how long does it takes
On my own road to the riches
I take a look around, I don't see sold-out b**hes
Let me tell a joke a legend said, homie
"911", actually Flavor Flav dropped it
While I walkin' on some fresh Pumps
Those old school sneakers that made jump
I checked myself when Cube released his song
Now I care about society, mentality was wrong
Warm it up for the block was a Big Daddy thing
Listen that, you can fell the Hip-Hop swing
9mm. go bang!
KRS-One has these motherf**ers shut down
You got me here reppin' Hip-Hop to the fullest
With my lyrical guns loaded with old school bullets
[Scratches]
[Verse 3]
When Eric B. had the juice with Rakim
It's sad they had enough and said "that's it"
Some people ask me in the past how would I be
I reply a guy who likes to paint graffiti
MC Shan created The Bridge
The bridge that Nas crossed to uplift the New York streets
Naughty By Nature's Uptown Anthem
Made the old school influence in my name
[Scratches]
