Whale - Old School Love (An Ode To Jazz) lyrics

[Verse 1: Whale] Gimme that, late jazz, new blues, old school Feeling like his second album so cool If you dont remember what i told you Know i hold it down, in my city like I'm sposed to Yeah, that girl is pretty but that's old news Thinking Eric B., bring the rap to the old blues I'll be Rakim, bring a sax, yeah you heard my game If I'm as Jazzy as Jeff, hope the Prince will learn my name Same mic of the tribe, yeah that's where I'm from Respect my elders, Tip and Phife cause I'm only young Now these the same things, that made the new you But your swing dont mean thing because you're new school The new 2, a new coupe a new Gucci rag Can you ever rap with the sk**s that you knew he had? Now the rapper sad, yeah, can't get on Cause he stuck in the city but he's never home [Hook x2: Whale] As long as I'm here As long you love me Just gimme that old school love right now [Verse 2: Whale] Do you not remember what i told you? You still think i like her? Man that old news If yo a Nazi then i gotta be the Jew But if I flip around the vice versa who could you shoot Take your old shoes you need walk on home Go back to the city where they singing your song Yeah, cause no one wants you in here And you better get out, before my people come near You introducing the fear, relaying the hate I'm reproducing the trust, but you can even relate You everything we can't have and everything we can't rock with And yet you wonder why we saying man stop it So please, stop, get outta my town Or recognize an MC who be holding it down I hope you see this MC standing right the top If I'm on cloud nine then the rhymes never stop [Hook x2: Whale] [Verse 3: Whale] I guess you don't remember what i told you Cause everything that you be saying is old news And everything that i mean doing on the mic, how I'm doing it so right Do you really think I know you? I kinda figured you had figured out by now And i guess you understood it cause i see you getting out But you ain't looking very sober Better speed up your mind, before you blink and it's over That 182 is nice but not the same as old school I mean real old, Duke Ellington what we roll to Fast rap, cypher rhyme, back in the day So i give thanks to jazz and Cab Calloway When he put it down, he really put it away People would hear a versed verse and they wanted to say, hey! So when you needing a hug Just escape from the presence into my old school love [Bridge: Whale] Gimme that old school love right now Once i said it, know i mean it And i gave it what i want Gimme that old school love right now You know I got you, you won't be alone [Hook x2: Whale] [Outro: Whale] A recollection of that old school love Help you to see so you knew what it was Now you know what you did, back in the shrug Every place, every time that you tried to remember Everything you did, back in that September Old school love, a recollection of the beat We're branching out and moving closer to the street I may not be that old but just so you know where I'm at Only young rapper here that ain't afraid to take it back
