Old Songs |
| Old songs, old songs |
| Old records and old memories |
| 8 tracks, takin' it back |
| To them old songs, old strong songs |
| Talkin' 'bout old songs, old songs |
| Old records and old memories |
| 8 tracks and takin' it back |
| To them old songs, old strong songs |
| When you’re 35 or 40 |
| And you chillin wit' your shawty |
| What you gon' listen to? |
| What you gon' listen to |
| If you ain’t making nothin' new? |
| If you wanna just sample |
| Well, I’m tellin you, you gamble |
| You ain’t even writing one strong song |
| You ain’t even writing nothing to hold on |
| Late at night you wanna watch TV |
| Lean back and play a little Stevie (Stevie) |
| Play the music, play the music |
| Then you’ll know why I’m talkin' 'bout them |
| Old songs (Old songs), old songs (Old records) |
| Old records and old memories |
| 8 tracks, hey, I’m takin' it back |
| To them old songs, old strong songs |
| When you get a little older |
| And your nights get a little bit colder |
| What you gon' cuddle to? |
| What you gon' cuddle to? |
| Well, it must be misty blue |
| Tell me what you got on your menu |
| Serve it up, I know that it’s in you |
| Serve it up, serve it up |
| Serve it up, serve it up, serve it up |
| Listen to the music that made you |
| Tune in to what your mama played ya |
| Time to celebrate, time to create before it’s too late |
| Oh, go to your favorite place (Go to your favorite place) |
| Speakers bumpin', bumpin' that bass (Speakers bumpin' that bass) |
| Slow dance and what do they play? |
| Betty and Teddy all up in your face |
| Old songs (Old songs), old songs (Old records) |
| Old records and old memories |
| 8 tracks (8 tracks), takin' it back |
| To them old songs, old strong songs |
| Talkin' 'bout |
| I must admit your beats got fatter |
| But add subject matter on subjects that matter |
| 'Cause it matters, yeah, it matters |
| Hmm, mmm |
| Patti, Gladys, Chaka Khan, Prince |
| And Kelly, and Kelly, and Kelly, and Kelly |
| Mary Mary, you blossom like cherries, I’ve seen your garden grow |
| Hey, Erykah, little sista |
| I’m feelin ya, Badu, Badu Badu, yeah |
| Angie, c’mon, Stone, Keep on writin' and singin' them strong songs, ohh |
| India.Arie, keep singin' and playin' for me |
| Talk about that sweet tea and your sweetie |
| Just, keep singing those songs |
| Raheem and Jaheim and The-Dream and the whole team |
| Just take me on back to those strong songs |
| Joe and Mario and Ne-Yo and oh |
| Keep on writing and singing them strong songs |
| Just keep on listening to Marvin, Aretha, The Isleys and them O’Jays |
| So you’ll know what to say and you’ll know what to play |
