Here we go, we gon' 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 sayin'? Nothin' but love for the old school (what more could I say?) That's who we gonna do this one for, ya feel me? (I wouldn't be here today) If the old school didn't pave the way What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) (Ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way I remember Mr. Magic, Flash, Grandmaster Caz LL Raising Hell, but that didn't last Eric B. And 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 gettin' 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 It diggi-don't stop, sippin' on that private stock Through my speaker, Queen Latifah and MC Lyte Listen to Treach and KRS to get me through the night With T La Rock and Mantronix, to Stetsasonic Remember "Push It" was the bomb shit, nothin' like the old school What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (yeah, it ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way I had Shell Toes and BVDs A killer crease inside my Lee's when I hit the streets I'm playin' 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, freestylin' With some wild kids from Buck town, profilin' 'Cause the hoochies was starin', thinkin' "What them niggas wearin'?" I'm wonderin' if that's her hair I remember stick ball, humpin' hoochies on the wall Or takin' leaks on the steps, stinkin' up the hall Through my childhood, wild as a juvenile A young nigga tryin' to stay away from Riker's Isle Me and my homies breakin' nights, tryin' to keep it true Out on the roof sippin' ninety proof, ain't nothin' like the old school What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way Remember poppin' and lockin' 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" Gamin' the hoochies at the neighborhood block parties I remember breakdancin' to Melle Mel Jekyll and Hyde, LL when he Rocks the Bells Forget the TV, about to hit the streets and do graffiti Be careful don't let the transit cops see me It ain't nothin' like the old school What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (it ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (it ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way (ain't nothin' like the old school) What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today If the old school didn't pave the way, what more could I say? Remember seein' Brooklyn go crazy up in the motherfuckin' party? 'Member how fuckers used to go, "Is Brooklyn in the house?" And motherfuckers would lose they goddamn 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 motherfuckin' old school nigga Remember Skelly, nigga? Knockin' niggas out the box, poppin' boxes? (my Adidas) 'Member stick ball? 'Member niggas used to run that shit like that? 'Member the block members screamin' up at your mom from the window? (LL Cool J is hard as hell) The ice cream truck, 'member all the mother- Member the Italian Ices, yo? yo, remember the Italian Ice's? The Spanish niggas comin' down with the coconut ices and shit? "I came through the door, said it before," that was the shit
