Golden Oldies |
| I’m tryna show you old is golden |
| It might be old but it ain’t broken |
| Yo; |
| are these supposed to be poems? |
| I got poetry in my bones |
| I come from broken homes, the era of rotary phones |
| Put on some 80s R&B, with my chick, she’s new |
| She told me, «that's the same music that my dad would listen to» |
| I don’t know if I should be laughin' or stressin' |
| My girl was born the same year Daddy Kane dropped «Half-Steppin'» |
| We fight every day, there gotta be a better way |
| I like guns and boxing and Peckinpah to get away |
| She said she hates boxing compared to MMA |
| She never heard of NWA, she only knows Em and Dre |
| She said I’m primitive, politics today are more progressive |
| She gets mad when I tell her that men shouldn’t wear dresses |
| While I’m cherishing my collection of every vinyl LP |
| She’s in the mirror with duck lips tryna take a selfie |
| I’m raised on X Clan, Brand Nubian and Chuck D |
| She was raised on Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkey |
| I’m not tryna dance to trap music or dubstep |
| I’m the old man in the club with a headache upset |
| She said, «your outdated slangs are gonna make me go crazy» |
| I’m like, «Girl, I’m outta here, peace, ghost, Swayze!» |
| Ha! |
| I’m tryna show you old is golden |
| It might be old but it ain’t broken |
| Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is |
| And it still is (say what?) |
| Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is |
| And it still is |
| I laid down for a nap first |
| 'N then I took the stage |
| My back hurt, my skin looked like suede |
| Used to get play in an earlier day |
| But that was way before my soul patch turned grey |
| Wanna live forever like Wu-Tang |
| And keep coming back like a boomerang |
| I need somethin' to reduce the pain |
| Repair my shoe game |
| And maybe even learn to use the new slang (new slang) |
| I’m tryna age like a bottle of grapes |
| The vintage, no expiration date |
| Just a Rhymesayers stamp on the bottom of the case |
| Rinse your mouth with it, swallow the taste |
| Ehh, I’m awfully rare, that’s why they stop and stare |
| And when I’m gone, pop a shot in the air |
| But as long as you got me on my rockin' chair |
| I’m still droppin' science in these thoughts I share |
| I’m tryna show you old is golden |
| It might be old but it ain’t broken |
| Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is |
| And it still is (say what?) |
| Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is |
| And it still is |
| They say I’m old-fashioned |
| I say I’m grown and knowledgeable |
| I’m hip-hop 'til I’m dead or rottin' in the hospital |
| Rockin' the gospel like the son of God’s apostles |
| Even if they treat us like dinosaurs or forgotten fossils |
| Some say I’m a troll and a grumpy old a-hole |
| 'Cause I prefer Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel over J. Cole |
| Age ain’t a white-rappin' death sentence |
| When I’m sixty, I’ll have shaved eyebrows |
| Wearin' 80s African pendants |
| Spazzin' out like epileptics |
| In the mirror, doin' the Kid 'n Play Kick Step to Salt-N-Pepa records |
| Callin' groupies skeezers, never romantic |
| Wearin' a gold rope chain holdin' my old man dick, so |
| Don’t discredit or disrespect the age |
| I’ll be the best of every decade 'til I’m dead in the grave, and |
| Reagan was the Pres, but I voted for Shirley Chisholm |
| Did you understand that lyric? |
| You’re too young, of course you didn’t |
