Old School Love Lyrics

Gimme that old school love right now (l-love you baby)
You know when I hold you, you won't be alone
As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)
Gimme that old school love right now
As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)
Gimme that old school love right now (oh-ooh)

Gimme that late 80's early 90's old school
Feelin' like my second album, so cool
Chiraq summer lookin' so cruel
Look shorty in the eye, told me it was no rules
Went to speak but was like never mind
Let my mind just sneak back to a better time
When I was his age and if he's ever mine
Thinkin' he would only think back to this and never find
Better times to think back too when it comes
And he's older in the presence of somebody young
Tellin' him the same things that he told me
And he reacts the same way as that O.G.
But it's old school, it's like '03
And this old man is my old me
Takes a long time to happen so fast
To realize that your future is somebody else's past, what's up?

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)
Gimme that old school love right now (gimme one for the old school)
As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)
Give me that old school love right now (oh-ooh)

Analog black vinyl spinnin' soundin' so good
Top down, can't be a classic if it's no wood
If you don't know what, then you new school
Floor model is the foundation for your YouTubes
Model flows off of Fat Boys and Juice Crews
Melle Mel's, Ice-T's, and the 2 Cools
Add a Moe Dee and a Double L
Had to walk 'cause it's hard to run in those unbuckled shells
One microphone and a couple 12's
Six drum sounds and a couple bells
Is all you had to make a couple rails
And that's a track, and if you want it (eeh)
You have to make it like that (like that, like that)
Now what's one turtle to a couple snails?
Takes a long time to happen so fast
And realize your future is somebody else's past, what's up?

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)(gimme one for the old school)
Give me that old school love right now (gimme one for the old school)
As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby) (what's up?)
Give me that old school love right now (oh-ooh)(and on the rewind)

Chiraq summer lookin' so cruel
How can I reel-to-reel when there's Pro Tool?
I can't dig it at all because there's no tube
Fire when you speak but ain't no warmth in your vocals
Might have been a better rhyme then just never mind
If it's better with time then think in line
That you're going to be your nicest 'round your midlife crisis
If your life like Christ live your midlife like it's Christ-like
But nigga, I ain't psychic
I know it's all a cycle and everybody bike it
And France is enormous you're Lance with endorsements
But you might need a hand to enhance your performance
Consider this a kilogram of encouragement
Teach you how to sneak it past the enforcement
And when you get it through in a manner so cool
Remember to give a little nod to the old school

Gimme that old school love right now (what's up?)(l-love you baby)
I'm leaving it all up to you darlin'
Givin' you everythin' you want
And give me that old school love right now (gimme one for the old school)
You know when I hold you, you won't be alone

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby)(gimme one for the old school)
Give me that old school love right now (gimme one for the old school)
As long as I'm here
As long as you love me (l-love you baby) (what's up)
Give me that old school love right now (oh-ooh)

(L-love you baby)

Fiasco's verses nostalgically reminisce about formative influences from the late 80s and early 90s, emphasizing how these experiences shape identity over time.
