Vadell Gabriel feat. Coco Rose - Old School

from Old School by Vadell Gabriel

about

If you've ever played "NBA Jam '99" on the Nintendo 64, then you may recognize where this beat came from.

lyrics

One for the trebble, two for the bass
I think it's about time I set the record straight
It's really not the fact I hate modern rap
But it simply just don't appeal to me like that
I can't explain why, but the old school got that vibe
That makes me nod my head, and spit out these rhymes
It relaxes my soul, lets my instincts flow
throwing lyrical fireballs like Super Mario
Yeah, I'm called corny and goody two-shoes,
Cause I don't smoke, act crude, or drink booze
Don't talk about hoes, getting money or killing
Cause frankly, it's not the life I'm living
Student by day, Rapper at night
Mild-mannered, shy, and very polite
Sittin down playing Super Mario Bros. 2
That's my life, Livin' Old School

One for the trebble, two for the bass
The old school is ready to rock the place
From the Golden Age to the modern times
So let me bust out some old school rhymes

Naw, I don't wear kangols or a high-top fade,
Adidas jumpsuits, or big gold chains
I do own a few Nintendos...
I used to have a Dreamcast, but that bit the dust though
But I'm not dissin' the new school, there's a lot I love,
But the Old School wins, when push comes to shove
I love the New Jack sound, I'm it's biggest fan
When that groove comes on, it makes me wanna jam
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis,
TurboGrafx-16, and Arcade Cabniets
Retro games all day, I like to play
Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-man, hey
Galaga, Rally-X, and Dig-Dug
Tekken and Street Fighter get nuttin but love
Some call me a hipster, even a fool
But hey, that's my life, Livin' Old School

One for the trebble, two for the bass
The old school is ready to rock the place
From the Golden Age to the modern times
So let me bust out some old school rhymes

Riley, Jam, Lewis, Quik, Dilla
Premier, LA, yo these guys are killer
A streetwise sound, but with a soulful groove
Or a mix of rap, rhythm and blues
The jazzy sounds of a Tribe we request,
Or a Clan that ain't nuttin' to mess with
That's just a sampling of the Old School I like
The masters at work, doing it right
Don't get me wrong, we got some dope guys out too
Drake, Lupe, Kendrick, just to name a few
I dig their music, they got it on point
But it's the old school that gets me high like a joint
Like what you want, I'm not gonna force you
to conform to my personal point of veiw
But I had to go and set the record straight for you
Cause I'm far from corny, I'm just Livin' Old School

One for the trebble, two for the bass
The old school is ready to rock the place
From the Golden Age to the modern times
So let me bust out some old school rhymes
