Old School Lyrics by Deecon

W.A.Y. (What A Year)

2016

Verse 1:
You used to be shit
I Spent a lot my time
In front of cassettes
Rewinding all your rhymes
Memorizing
Mesmerized
By all of the guys
That represented the struggle
In each & every one of their lines
Presented a few blacks
Through recorded tracks &
Entertainment acts
But Nowadays
You turn your back
To prosper
Where awareness lacks
And a bouncy track
Got you not looking at
All the asses that stripped you
Forgot from which you came
Thinking your kids won't kill you
Like they won't use you
To pollute our brain
It’s such a shame
Cause it ain't the same
Their hearts not in it
That's why competition
Really not there
We Might be finish
Unless you start to care
About your image
And who you let speak
On the views of streets
& Decode the morse code
For the meek
Said they talking loud
Cause they proud
Just gave em three ks
Like the sheets
So they can turn
That garbage shit down

Hook:
What can I say
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way (x4)

Verse 2:
Remember where you first went?
All that dough
You first spent?
On all the
Jump suits &
Dookey ropes
Nowadays just
Seems like we losing hope
We forgot the words
In Rakim’s quotes
But i got'em
Pac had the focused
When henchman shot him
Couldn't find a friend
Suge got’em
I Remember KRS
Had BDP
And all the Bs gave money
Cause of AMG
Got junior mafia's
With B. I. G
EPMD
&
Beastie
Gave us the license to ill
Wasn't not fun
Without Snoop
Rob Bass took two
& got sued
What you do to these dudes?
Don't know about Kane
But got high tops
Half stepping
Away from the truth
Guess bell bottoms are
The new boot cut
But we can't eeen fit in them shoes

Hook:
What can I say
I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way (x4)
