Old School - Danger Doom/Talib Kweli.mp3

[00:00.15](Talib Kweli)
[00:00.30]One two three, in the place to be!
[00:08.82]MF Doom, Talib Kweli, ah here we go
[00:14.46]On born days, I used to blow out the candles; and every Saturday
[00:17.25]watch cartoons 'til noon and then I'd switch to Ralph McDaniels
[00:19.65]I was, makin up a miracle flow, over a cereal bowl
[00:23.04]And a paused beat from my stereo
[00:24.87]Rhymes stronger than Popeye with the spinach
[00:26.88]Yeah I'm gangster like the frog on Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse
[00:29.82]Maybe I'm trippin and it's just a cartoon to you
[00:31.98]But I got chills when I heard how Doom flipped the Scooby Doo
[00:34.86]And, I might be buggin but it seem to me
[00:36.78]that cartoons be realer than reality TV
[00:39.09]They inspire my decision to be open and listen
[00:41.40]But folks got it all twisted, like a yoga position
[00:43.92]Like, in order to spit it shit, you gotta have a criminal past
[00:47.25]that's similar to the cast of Different Strokes
[00:49.23]Me and my people break bread, sit and smoke
[00:51.27]The conversation rich, but that depend on what you consider broke
[00:54.18]I draw on anything for inspiration
[00:56.07]A fond memory, a piece of paper, walls in a train station
[00:59.07](Chorus: Talib Kweli)
[00:59.52]It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
[01:04.26]It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
[01:08.43](I'm old school y'all, yes y'all, I keep it goin y'all, here we go)
[01:10.47]It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
[01:13.23](I'm old school y'all, keep it goin y'all, keep it goin y'all)
[01:14.46]It's just that I'm old school like that, roll that rap over soul loops like that
[01:16.92](Ah here we go, c'mon)
[01:17.91](MF Doom)
[01:18.66]And we'll be right back after these messages
[01:20.85]Fellas grab your nutsacs, chicks squeeze your breastesses
[01:23.52]We ain't all that grown, it's still funny like
[01:25.83]Goin to the store on your own with rainbow money
[01:28.50]Since then had an insane flow sonny
[01:30.63]Walkin to the corner rhymin in the rain, nose runny
[01:33.30]Breakdancin maybe ten, bummy
[01:35.34]is when Subroc would run up handspring Arabian somee!
[01:38.28]Ooh wee, like a Hong Kong Phooey kick
[01:40.56]Or a weekend afternoon, karate movie flick
[01:43.02]Slept good, no justice, no peace
[01:45.33]Woody kept it hoody, never discussed it with police
[01:48.03]Shot the fair one nobody ran to get the gat
[01:50.25]Or felt they had to put it up in they raps to set it fat
[01:52.98]And since when lyrical skills had to do with killin a cat?
[01:56.01]What type of chitlins is that?
[01:57.84]The Super Villain as the bat, hide your tonic
[02:00.09]Whoever willin to ride, provide raw chronic
[02:19.71](Chorus)
[02:19.95](Talib) Yeah!
