Back to the Old School

[Verse] Stepping back to the 90s, where it all began Rappin' on the streets with a funky soulful band Rhymes so smooth like brand new vinyls spinning Classic beats groovin', heads bobbin', bodies grinning Digging through the crates for the rarest of samples Looping soulful melodies, creating sweet examples The rhythm hits hard, like a punch filled with funk Spittin' fire on the mic, makin' minds go clunk [Verse 2] In the city streets, where the cyphers were born Spittin' raw lyrics, makin' hip-hop the norm Kickin' it old-school, fillin' the air with passion Droppin' rhymes so fly, they could make a dragon fashion [Verse] In the hush of the night Lost in the stillness Memories haunt me Whispers in the darkness Love we had fading into the abyss Leaving me with an ache Just can't dismiss Pictures on the walls Echoes of our past Letters in a drawer A love that couldn't last Silence is loud The void is vast Drowning in sorrow Sea so vast [Verse 2] Late nights alone Thoughts spinning 'round Pieces of us lost Scattered on the ground Echoes of laughter Now silent and cold Chasing shadows of a love that we couldn't hold
