[00:05.081]I'm tryna show you old is golden
[00:10.280]It might be old but it ain't broken
[00:14.224]Yo; are these supposed to be poems?
[00:16.053]I got poetry in my bones
[00:17.333]I come from broken homes, the era of rotary phones
[00:19.867]Put on some 80s R&B, with my chick, she's new
[00:22.348]She told me, "that's the same music that my dad would listen to"
[00:25.065]I don't know if I should be laughin' or stressin'
[00:27.129]My girl was born the same year Daddy Kane dropped "Half-Steppin'"
[00:30.368]We fight every day, there gotta be a better way
[00:32.640]I like guns and boxing and Peckinpah to get away
[00:35.200]She said she hates boxing compared to MMA
[00:37.551]She never heard of NWA, she only knows Em and Dre
[00:40.268]She said I'm primitive, politics today are more progressive
[00:42.880]She gets mad when I tell her that men shouldn't wear dresses
[00:45.231]While I'm cherishing my collection of every vinyl LP
[00:47.844]She's in the mirror with duck lips tryna take a selfie
[00:50.482]I'm raised on X Clan, Brand Nubian and Chuck D
[00:53.042]She was raised on Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkey
[00:55.576]I'm not tryna dance to trap music or dubstep
[00:58.110]I'm the old man in the club with a headache upset
[01:00.644]She said, "your outdated slangs are gonna make me go crazy"
[01:03.465]I'm like, "Girl, I'm outta here, peace, ghost, Swayze!" Ha!
[01:06.182]I'm tryna show you old is golden
[01:11.537]It might be old but it ain't broken
[01:15.873]Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is
[01:18.956]And it still is (say what?)
[01:21.411]Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is
[01:24.467]And it still is
[01:25.434]I laid down for a nap first
[01:27.524]'N then I took the stage
[01:28.882]My back hurt, my skin looked like suede
[01:31.520]Used to get play in an earlier day
[01:33.845]But that was way before my soul patch turned grey
[01:36.536]Wanna live forever like Wu-Tang
[01:38.600]And keep coming back like a boomerang
[01:40.533]I need somethin' to reduce the pain
[01:42.753]Repair my shoe game
[01:44.164]And maybe even learn to use the new slang (new slang)
[01:47.324]I'm tryna age like a bottle of grapes
[01:49.179]The vintage, no expiration date
[01:51.635]Just a Rhymesayers stamp on the bottom of the case
[01:54.221]Rinse your mouth with it, swallow the taste
[01:56.807]Ehh, I'm awfully rare, that's why they stop and stare
[01:59.994]And when I'm gone, pop a shot in the air
[02:01.849]But as long as you got me on my rockin' chair
[02:04.461]I'm still droppin' science in each thoughts I share
[02:07.047]I'm tryna show you old is golden
[02:12.820]It might be old but it ain't broken
[02:16.947]Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is
[02:20.396]And it still is (say what?)
[02:22.511]Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is
[02:25.855]And it still is
[02:27.475]They say I'm old-fashioned
[02:28.885]I say I'm grown and knowledgeable
[02:30.191]I'm hip-hop 'til I'm dead or rottin' in the hospital
[02:32.542]Rockin' the g****l like the son of God's apostles
[02:34.815]Even if they treat us like dinosaurs or forgotten fossils
[02:37.662]Some say I'm a troll and a grumpy old a-hole
[02:40.013]'Cause I prefer Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel over J. Cole
[02:42.652]Age ain't a white-rappin' death sentence
[02:44.716]When I'm sixty, I'll have shaved eyebrows
[02:46.518]Wearin' 80s African pendants
[02:48.111]Spazzin' out like epileptics
[02:49.496]In the mirror, doin' the Kid 'n Play Kick Step to Salt-N-Pepa records
[02:53.049]Callin' groupies skeezers, never romantic
[02:55.582]Wearin' a gold rope chain holdin' my old man d**k, so
[02:58.273]Don't discredit or disrespect the age
[03:00.676]I'll be the best of every decade 'til I'm dead in the grave, and
[03:03.341]Reagan was the Pres, but I voted for Shirley Chisholm
[03:05.770]Did you understand that lyric?
[03:07.181]You're too young, of course you didn't
[03:08.487]C'mon!
