Song Description

An ode to Old school music and musicians

Lyrics

Well check it out it's the Old School, kickin' up the grooves like they used to (back in the day), when Brothers wore bell bottom suits, and sang in street corner groups, and didn't use sampled loops
they'd just turn on the gear and let the groove start swinging
grab the microphone and just start singing
no fronting, no faking
and if the drummer wasn't kicking, well it just wasn't shaking
I laid back for a for a while studied the styles of all the legends like James and Miles
A little funk, a little Jazz, the hip hop on top (putting that bounce in that ass)
I kept my profile low, and kept swinging this groove to this funky mid tempo
But now it's time to make my intro, sliding straight into the future in retro

Kicking old school grooves, just like they used to do
be it funk, jazz or blues
we're bringing it straight to you

I'm not trying to live life in the past but bring the past to the future, pump your fists if it suits ya
'cause if you give it half a chance the rhythm is gonna get you, gonna make you dance
Before you know it you're on the floor, we got you screaming "hell yeah, wont you give us just a little more"
because the groove is contagious, it hits in stages, we got you acting outrageous
Coming right at you with that funk for your trunk
we even got a couple out there doing the bump
young ladies shaking their rumps
fellas singing " I gotta get over that hump"
yeah, I kinda like how that sounds, I think we're gonna stick around
So get it in your head, I don't think they heard me Darcus tell 'em what I said

Hook x2

So now you know the gist of the story, I'm not another brother just looking for fame and glory
just a knucklehead trying to survive, and keep that funk legacy alive
So just slow your roll, I'm in control
not trippin' on Indo or the ol' Gold
'cause life is but a minute, and I'm in it to win it.
