“Here we go; we gonna send this one out to the old school
All these MFs in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island
Queens & all the MFs that laid it down, the foundation
Ya know what I'm saying? Nothing but love for the old school
That's who we’re going do this one for, ya feel me?”

“I remember Mr. Magic, Flash, Grandmaster Caz
LL, Raising Hell, but that didn't last...”

“Eric B. & Rakim was the shit to me
I flip to see a Doug E. Fresh show, with Ricky D
And Red Alert was puttin in work, with Chuck Chill
Had my homies on the hill getting ill, when shit was real...”

“Went out to steal
Remember Raw, with Daddy Kane?!
When De La Soul was puttin Potholes in the game
I can't explain how it was, Whodini
Had me puffin on that buddha gettin buzzed, 'cause there I was...”

“Them block parties in the projects and on my block
You diggy don't stop, sippin on that Private Stock
Through my speaker Queen Latifah, and MC Lyte...”

“Listening to Treach, KRS to get me through the night
With T La Rock and Mantronix, to Stetsasonic
Remember "Push It" was the bomb shit, nuttin like the old school!”

“What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way"
