[Chorus]

Yeah

Now when did I become old school? Yeah, yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

Now when did I become old school? Yeah yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

[Verse 1]

Now when did I become old school? (Old school)

Was it when Lil Yachty served his soul food? (Soul food)

Was it when Soulja Boy said "I yuuuuuu" (I yuuuuuu)

How come this rap got dance moves? Nigga (Dance moves)

Now when did I become old school?

Good Kid M.A.A.D City felt like a year ago (Year ago)

Sirius Satellite is missing that lyrical (Lyrical) (Go Bril)

Swear I didn't do this on purpose I gotta singular purpose

To make this music with purpose paint a picture of nervous

Meeting the girls whose perfect and describe it so perfect and if that

Ain't hip hop anymore than fuck it I guess i'm old school

Old fool cooking soul food they eat Nobu

No boo this isn't 02 let it burn (Let it burn)

Let it burn, make it trap and turn out

And watch how it turn out and double your turn out

But nigga ain't my route, God speaking out my mouth

[Chorus]

Now when did I become old school? Yeah, yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

Now when did I become old school? Yeah yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

Yeah yeah yeah uh

[Verse 2]

Let's take it back Illmatic is a classic

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is in the attic

And when nobody can reach that shit, I reach that shit (Yeah)

Know nobody can teach that shit, I beast that shit (Go Bril)

When did I become old school? (Old school)

I don't give a fuck

Way deeper than the luck

And I do it from the heart

So it's way more than enough

Tough luck young man with an old man buck bout them old man bucks Yeah

For the legacy I mix my recipe (Mix that shit nigga)

Essentially I pour the drink they poured into me (Into me)

It's a cycle, so destined to be Michael (Michael)

Jackson Jordan or Myers (Yeah)

Pray to never Len Bias (Nah)

Cook my crack and they buy it (Nah)

Idolize it in quiet (Yeah)

Birth a generation who know the lyrics and sing it infused in spirit

Parents they fear it like Em in My Name Is and Ye in Gold Digger

When i'm an old nigga

[Chorus]

Now when did I become old school? Yeah, yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

Now when did I become old school? Yeah yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

[Bridge]

Don’t let the city get ya

Fuck them horoscopes, know the ropes like a wrestler

If them bullets wet you bet your Momma need a tissue

Your face on the front of our shirts, screamin' we miss you

(screaming we miss ya)

X2

[Verse 3]

The music muted don't mute it it's beauty treat it like nudist

Imbue it I knew I knew it was student focus was Buddhist

They prosecute him like 'Juden'

It's humorous numerous tumorous rumorous relics who rate my music and

Rap is not bleeding it's, really alive

And it's brilliant eyes when Jibrilly arrive like

"Is he really a guy? Think he came from the sky"

And dick as big as a giant's make a pussy Poseidon

[Chorus]

Now when did I become old school? Yeah, yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

Now when did I become old school? Yeah yeah yeah

Now when did I become old school?

[Outro]

Real shit, when did I become old school dawg?

They told me it's classic it sounds classic like old but... it's just classic
