| There’s an interesting dynamic starting to develop
|
| Old rapper, new rapper, old rapper, new rapper
|
| Yeah, let’s see what’s going on
|
| Old rapper, new rapper, haha
|
| Boys tripping out here, tell y’all the difference
|
| Listen!
|
| New rappers pop tags, new rappers got swag
|
| Old rapper heard a new rapper spitting and got mad
|
| Old rapper said that the new rapper should not brag
|
| On jewelry and cash and what they consider hot trash
|
| Youngster said, «Whatever you old rappers did, we shot past
|
| 1998 was the year that your product dropped last»
|
| Old rapper said, «But we got skills that y’all cannot grasp
|
| We did it for years, after two albums y’all flop fast»
|
| The young man said, «You jealous of what they pay me, bro
|
| You’re whole career’s money can’t compare to what I make at shows»
|
| Old rapper shook his head and said, «Yeah, maybe so
|
| Buy y’all can never do it like we did it back in '84
|
| See most of y’all are just a passing phase»
|
| The new rapper laughed and said, «flip 84 around fool, that’s your age
|
| Now you say we arrogant but that was kind of funny
|
| You working at Khans and I’m making all kinds of money»
|
| Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads
|
| Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead
|
| Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that’s what I said
|
| Instead of tripping on who better, why don’t we all just get this bread?
|
| The O.G. |
| said, «Laugh all you want but young man you’re wrong
|
| The nerve of you to disrespect the foundation you standing on
|
| Being humble while your strong is what I’m recommending
|
| No one who blew up ever pictured their run ever ending
|
| You doing shows worldwide and your record’s spinning
|
| But the game is long, don’t get kicked out in the second inning
|
| Longevity I got is what you wanna get»
|
| New rapper said, «Yeah, my Daddy used to jam you on cassette
|
| But all jokes aside, something that you should consider
|
| When y’all are no loner relevant y’all start acting bitter
|
| There’s lots of older rappers eating, I can name plenty of names
|
| Instead of hating on our fame won’t you give me some game?
|
| And I can give you game 'cause you need understanding now
|
| We selling digital units, merchandise and branding now
|
| And some of us are disrespectful, but so are y’all»
|
| Old rapper said, «Yeah, pride come before a fall»
|
| Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads
|
| Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead
|
| Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that’s what I said
|
| Instead of tripping on who better, why don’t we all just get this bread?
|
| It’s hard for old school artists to breathe in these climates
|
| They wish that they was part of rap’s current economics
|
| Instead of grinding they stay confined in making comments
|
| About how this generation refuse to pay them homage
|
| Youngsters in the game wanna see their name with greats
|
| But old rappers and new rappers make the same mistakes
|
| If you real, you last forever, time can’t erase
|
| The labels drained us all but we never blame the snakes
|
| We see the same reflection, just looking in different mirrors
|
| We walk the same roads, just did it in different eras
|
| The new rappers say they hate on our accomplishments
|
| The old rappers say the new lacking in consciousness
|
| Working with each other ought to be what the mission is
|
| We can agree to disagree on our differences
|
| Young G, I know you’re hungry and you’re feisty
|
| But never criticize something that one day you might be |
