Read the lyric sheet
Intro
Eights boom with a vinyl hiss, tape deck twist, bassline crisp — Old soul in a chrome whip, scrollin’ through a cracked playlist. “Back in my day” vs. “nowadays,” same hunger, different plays — Legends in my DNA, but my beats don’t sound the same.
Verse 1
Pops had dreams in a Coogi sweater, Now I stream stats, tryna make ‘em better. He had crates full of wax, I got cloud space — Same hustle, just a different interface. Cousin with the fade like Jordan era, Me with the fade-out filter, mirror clearer. Floppies to TikToks, style don’t stop, Still chase peace with a pad and a pop.
Pre-chorus
Two worlds on a single track, Golden chain with a digital plaque. From cassettes to collectin’ streams, We both grindin’ for the same dream.
Chorus
🎵 I’m old school spirit, new school drive, Raised on Biggie, now I’m live on a Live. Nostalgia in the veins, but the beats evolve, Two eras in my blood, that’s how problems get solved. Boom-bap heart with a trap soul vibe, Retro in the mind, but I keep it alive. Old school, new rules — no divide, Timeless hustle, both sides collide. 🎵
Verse 2
Momma bumpin’ TLC in the minivan, Now I sample that, add a kick, expand. They said the past was real, the future fake, But I blend both — that’s the move I make. ’97 mindset, 2025 tech, I’m the link in the line that connects respect. Analog dust on digital dreams, Whole fam in the mix, legacy in the beams.
Pre-chorus
Tape hiss fade to an Eights clap, Still hear the roots when the hi-hats snap. History loopin’, the flow don’t end, Just a new wave built by the old men.
Chorus
🎵 I’m old school spirit, new school drive, Raised on Biggie, now I’m live on a Live. Nostalgia in the veins, but the beats evolve, Two eras in my blood, that’s how problems get solved. Boom-bap heart with a trap soul vibe, Retro in the mind, but I keep it alive. Old school, new rules — no divide, Timeless hustle, both sides collide. 🎵
Bridge
Spinnin’ in circles like a turntable flame, Every bar a bridge, not a blame. OGs nod, the young ones post, Same story told coast to coast. Respect the vinyl, embrace the stream, Two lanes, one dream — supreme team.
Chorus
🎵 I’m old school spirit, new school drive, Raised on Biggie, now I’m live on a Live. History breathin’ in my Eights kicks, Family roots deep in the sample mix. Boom-bap heart with a trap soul vibe, Retro in the mind, but I keep it alive. Old school, new rules — no divide, We the soundtrack when worlds collide. 🎵
Outro
Fade out in a Cadillac dream, Kids in the front seat chasin’ the gleam. Legacy loopin’ like tape rewind, Same grind — just modern time.
