1
One two three, in the place to be!
2
MF Doom, Talib Kweli, ah here we go
3
On born days, I used to blow out the candles; and every Saturday
4
Watch cartoons 'til noon and then I'd switch to Ralph McDaniels
5
I was, makin up a miracle flow, over a cereal bowl
6
And a paused beat from my stereo
7
Rhymes stronger than Popeye with the spinach
8
Yeah I'm gangster like the frog on Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse
9
Maybe I'm trippin and it's just a cartoon to you
10
But I got chills when I heard how Doom flipped the Scooby Doo
11
And, I might be buggin but it seem to me
12
That cartoons be realer than reality TV
13
They inspire my decision to be open and listen
14
But folks got it all twisted, like a yoga position
15
Like, in order to spit it dope, you gotta have a criminal past
16
That's similar to the cast of Different Strokes
17
Me and my people break bread, sit and smoke
18
The conversation rich, but that depend on what you consider broke
19
I draw on anything for inspiration
20
A fond memory, a piece of paper, walls in a train station
21
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
22
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
23
(I'm old school y'all, yes y'all, I keep it goin y'all, here we go)
24
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
25
(I'm old school y'all, keep it goin y'all, keep it goin y'all)
26
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
27
(Ah here we go, c'mon)
28
And we'll be right back after these messages
29
Fellas grab your nutsacs, chicks squeeze your breastesses
30
We ain't all that grown, it's still funny like
31
Goin to the store on your own with rainbow money
32
Since then had an insane flow sonny
33
Walkin to the corner rhymin in the rain, nose runny
34
Breakdancin maybe ten, bummy
35
Is when Subroc would run up handspring Arabian somee!
36
Ooh wee, like a Hong Kong Phooey kick
37
Or a weekend afternoon, karate movie flick
38
Slept good, no justice, no peace
39
Woody kept it hoody, never discussed it with police
40
Shot the fair one nobody ran to get the gat
41
Or felt they had to put it up in they raps to set it fat
42
And since when lyrical skills had to do with killin a cat?
43
What type of chitlins is that?
44
The Super Villain as the bat, hide your tonic
45
Whoever willin to ride, provide raw chronic
46
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
47
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
48
(I'm old school y'all, yes y'all, I keep it goin y'all, here we go)
49
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
50
(I'm old school y'all, keep it goin y'all, keep it goin y'all)
51
It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
52
(Ah here we go, c'mon)
53
Yeah!
