(Boy I’ll tell you what these young kids today
they don’t know what it was like
they don’t have any respect for us
they don’t know what it was like for these old timers)

I’m so old school (old-old-old school)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school)

Man I remember back in the day when rappers were rappers
and not a bunch of skateboarders just acting like rappers
or using rap as a platform to get into acting
I guess what I mean to say is today’s rap lacks passion
all this hassle and stress bout trying to cash in your checks
you wanna dazzle impress write a song with actual depth
these hip-hop heads who never listened to Nas?
probably think James Franco’s the original Wizard Of Oz
talking bout bodily harm and artists acting like pharmacists
like you were raised in a barn with all this crop that you’re harvesting
(garbage) a carbon copy of all that’s lewd and disarming
it used to be that stars had to be smart, proven and charming
you young kids can have your twerking and your diddy bop
I kick it old school with the Charleston and the Lindie hop
you cool cats can have your twerking and your diddy bop
I kick it old school, haha

I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (if you don’t like it you can go pound sand!)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (why does a five year old kid need a cellular plan?)

I know I’m probably dating myself
but all this new technology is forsaking my health
like what in the world is an Instagram?
you can already post pics on Facebook and Twitter so who gives a damn
speaking of tweeting, I could really be without it
who needs to tweet about it? I’d rather just be about it
see the kids today don’t know how to communicate
I don’t think they’ve ever had a conversation face to face
a generation of tragedy affinity for profanity
fashioned in trashy tapestries “selfies” code word for vanity
(travesty) engaging daily in forms of digital pageantry
savage state of affairs sex tapes are considered masterpiece
you young kids can have your twerking and your diddy bop
I kick it old school with the Charleston and the Lindie hop
you cool cats can have your twerking and your diddy bop
I kick it old school, haha

I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (man these kids are so lucky must be sleeping with the mummies)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (all these nincompoop and whippersnapper gosh darn dummies)

hey! hey! hey! hey!

(man these kids today I’ll tell you what they don’t know
we used to walk to school 15 miles uphill both ways
and you.. shoes? forget about it you were lucky to have feet!
and let me tell ya
you needed to know information
you couldn’t go on this world wide intraweb
you had to go to a library and read a book!
you wanted to talk to a friend you had to pick up a phone!
aww I don’t know anymore
I look around and I just see a bunch of
cold tony’s and lame ducks, sideways Susan’s
it makes me sick!)

I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (if you don’t like it you can go pound sand!)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (why does a five year old kid need a cellular plan?)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (man these kids so lucky must be sleeping with the mummies)
I’m so old school (old-old-old school) (all these nincompoop and whippersnapper gosh darn dummies)
