LYRICS

[2Pac:]

Here we go; we gonna send this one out to the old school

All these motherfuckers in the Bronx, and Brooklyn, and Staten Island

Queens, and all the motherfuckers that laid it down, the foundation

Ya know what I’m saying? Nothing but love for the old school

That’s who were going do this one for, ya feel me?

 

[Grand Puba sample:]

“What more could I say? I wouldn’t be here today

If the old school didn’t pave the way.”

[5x]

 

[2Pac:]

I remember Mr. Magic, FLASH, Grandmaster Caz

LL, Raising Hell, but, that didn’t last

Eric B. & Rakim was, the shit to me

I flip to see a Doug E. Fresh show, with Ricky D

and Red Alert was puttin in work, with Chuck Chill

Had my homies on the hill getting ill, when shit was real

Went out to steal. Remember Raw, with Daddy Kane?!

when De La Soul was puttin Potholes in the game

I can’t explain how it was, Whodini

had me puffin on that Buddha gettin buzzed, cause there I was

Them block parties in the projects, and on my block

You diggy don’t stop, sippin on that Private Stock

Through my speaker Queen Latifah, and MC Lyte

Listen to Treach, KRS to get me through the night

With T La Rock and Mantronix, to Stetsasonic

Remember “Push It” was the bomb shit, nuttin like the old school

 

[Grand Puba sample:]

“What more could I say? I wouldn’t be here today

If the old school didn’t pave the way.”

 

[2Pac:]

I had, Shell Toes, and BVD’s

A killer crease inside my Lee’s when I hit the streets

I’m playing skelly, Ringolevio, or catch a kiss

Before the homies in my hood learned to smack a bitch

I remember. Way back, the weak weed they had

Too many seeds in the trey bag

I’m on the train headin uptown, freestyling

With some wild kids from Bucktown, profiling

Cus the hoochies was starin, thinking, “What them niggas wearing?”

I’m wondering if that’s her hair, I remember

Stickball, humpin hoochies on the wall

Or taking leaks on the steps, stinking up the hall

Through my childhood, wild as a juvenile

A young nigga tryin to stay away from Rikers Isle

Me and my homies breakin nights, tryin to keep it true

Out on the roof sipping 90 proof, ain’t nuttin like the old school

 

[Grand Puba sample:]

“What more could I say? I wouldn’t be here today

If the old school didn’t pave the way.”

 

[2Pac:]

Remember popping and locking to Kurtis Blow, the name belts

And Scott LaRock the Super Ho back in Latin Quarters

When Slick Rick was spittin La Di Da Di

Gaming the hoochies at the neighborhood block parties

I remember, breakdancing to Melle Mel

Jekyll and Hyde, LL when he Rocks the Bells

Forget the TV, I’d rather hit the streets and do graffiti

Be careful don’t let the transit cops see me

It ain’t nothing like the old school!

 

[Grand Puba sample:]

“What more could I say? I wouldn’t be here today

If the old school didn’t pave the way.”

[2Pac:]

Haha, on the real though

Remember seeing Brooklyn go crazy up in the motherfucking party?

Remember motherfuckers used to go, “Is Brooklyn in the house?”

And motherfuckers would lose they God Damn Mind!

That’s the old school to me; that’s what I’m sayin (Super, Sperm)

I remember goin places that motherfuckers was scared to say

they was from anywhere but Brooklyn; that shit was the bomb

Back in the motherfucking old school nigga

Remember skelly nigga? Knocking niggas out the box, popping boxes?

Remember stickball? Member niggas to run that shit like that?

Remember the block– ‘Member screaming up at your moms from the window?

(LL Cool J is hard as HELL…)

The ice cream truck, remember all the mother–

‘Member the Italian Ices, yo? Yo, remember the Italian Ices?!

The Spanish Niggas comin’ down with the coconut ices and shit?

I came through the door, said it before

That was the SHIT!
