[00:14.74]Old-school
[00:15.74]Old-school like them summer days I woke to with no clue
[00:19.41]Feel it on your skin, the cold truth, it cold soon
[00:22.15]Yeah, that's how you know I'm local, I'm local
[00:24.88]Where I'm comin' from we soulful, hopeful
[00:27.43]This time my brothers going global, bi-coastal
[00:30.46]Get in touch with me by postal, not with the social
[00:33.05]I'm off the edge, at least I'm close to, the bitter snow due
[00:35.79]I'm feelin' vocal
[00:37.02]Marvel in reflection, just a blind man with another sense
[00:39.76]Balancin' potential and its negligence
[00:42.17]See, you wasn't born like this, arsonist
[00:44.35]It doesn't just come like this, hard to digest
[00:46.06]In your chest, speak it, but it don't exist
[00:48.10]Uh, I bе the old-school Thrilla
[00:50.87]Back in the winter in some loose-fittin' linen
[00:54.23]Uh, yeah, and then my phone does not pick up
[00:56.50]Ghost with the shimmer, see the light bulb flicker
[00:59.27]Uh, yeah, and all my darg dem are realer
[01:01.95]Soaked in the liquor, but the soul sees it clearer
[01:04.82]Uh, yeah, I put the wave in fruition
[01:07.20]Got the ocean in my system and it 'bout to follow through
[01:11.95]Follow who? These brothers savin' face and I can't relate
[01:12.81]Was jumpin' train, lookin' at the planes
[01:14.87]Now they feelin' strange
[01:16.11]I got a taste, this that bitter-sweet heat beneath your feat
[01:18.46]Won't play it safe, visions in my dreams, who do you believe?
[01:21.08]They fear the change, lookin' hollow, tomorrow divided in barricades
[01:24.69]Thought I saw the future comin' close, but that was yesterday
[01:27.37]Way back on the island, grandad cuttin' up that sugarcane
[01:30.00]Told me love is violent, but nothin' good painless anyway
[01:33.23]Uh, so I'm just waitin' by the riverside (side, the side)
[01:35.81]Just watchin' time go by (go by, go by)
[01:38.81]Ayy, and if you don't know what the river's like
[01:40.68](It's like, it's like)
[01:41.80]Uh, you should take a dive, no lie
[01:44.15]I lie behind the madness, I was vanished, now I'm showin' late
[01:46.75]Life with no escape will make you feel a way (a way)
[01:49.45]But there's magic in the sadness if you watchin' when I levitate
[01:52.35]I celebrate this moment like I know my fate (ayy, ayy)
[01:54.98]3 AM dancin' in the rave on my lonely (lonely)
[01:57.62]3 AM dancin' in the rave, rave, rave, rave
[02:00.92]Uh, I be the old-school Thrilla
[02:03.23]Back in the winter in some loose-fittin' linen
[02:06.48]Uh, yeah, and then my phone does not pick up
[02:08.83]Ghost with the shimmer, see the light bulb flicker
[02:11.80]Uh, yeah, and all my darg dem are realer
[02:14.72]Soaked in the liquor, but the soul see it clearer
[02:17.33]Uh, yeah, I put the wave in fruition
[02:20.28]Got the ocean in my system and it 'bout to follow through
[02:22.47]All of my lows lookin' the same
[02:24.15]Swallow my pride, channel my rage
[02:25.50]Where have you been? I been away
[02:26.73]Under my skin, stuck in my ways
[02:28.27]All of my stress put on a page
[02:29.86]What I possess, it's in a blaze
[02:31.15]Nothin' to say, just get out the flame
[02:32.73]Cover your face (look, look)
[02:33.95]The energy blessed, watch where you step
[02:34.84]Crack in the pave, mid of the west
[02:36.50]When are you comin'? I'm tellin' them next
[02:37.76]Now you feelin' the breeze when it blow on your neck
[02:39.48]Sick of these brothers, I'm sick of these figures
[02:40.71]I see through the ceilin', my shoulders is killin'
[02:42.38]My head stay lif' up, lif' up
[02:44.05]Industry, this is a stick-up, stick up
[02:44.91]Pavin' a way like back in the day
[02:46.03]When the cane rows came tight like the bars I write
[02:47.01]Five-foot-nine, but you still look up and it ain't my time
[02:49.37]But you still look up, livin' on a high 'til I fall down
[02:50.99]Lookin' out and the sun don't ever come down
[02:53.19]'Til it dark outside and the kids still out
[02:55.09]'Til the dawn of the mornin', the kids still out
[02:56.02]Lookin' crazy, yeah
[02:59.23]On occasion with me
[03:01.58]It's amazing, yeah
[03:04.25]How you hate me, yeah
[03:07.24]3 AM dancin' in the rave on my lonely (lonely)
[03:09.90]3 AM dancin' in the rave, rave, rave, rave
[03:12.89]4 AM dancin' 'til it's late on my lonely (lonely)
[03:15.82]4 AM dancin' in the rave, rave, rave, rave
[03:18.88]Uh, I be the old-school Thrilla
[03:21.75]Back in the winter in some loose-fittin' linen
[03:24.22]Uh, yeah, and then my phone does not pick up
[03:27.11]Ghost with the shimmer, see the light bulb flicker
[03:29.72]Uh, yeah, and all my darg dem are realer
[03:33.09]Soaked in the liquor, but the soul see it clearer
[03:35.67]Uh, yeah, I put the wave in fruition
[03:38.05]Got the ocean in my system and it 'bout to follow through
[03:41.14]But why don't you ever call my phone?
[03:45.11]Why don't you ever call me? (Call me)
[03:48.75]Why don't you ever call my phone?
[03:51.40]Why don't you ever?
[03:53.38]And why don't you ever call back home?
[03:55.96]Home
[04:00.98]I can't forget about home, so what's home?
[04:03.24]Melody and bones chillin', young lust and skin drippin'
[04:05.58]On a vibe ting
[04:07.12]Writin' made pictures in the silence
[04:08.75]Intermission
[04:10.36]Summer nights caught in transition
[04:11.51]Ain't no small-town heroes when protagonists missin'
[04:13.45]Back home where the heart is, I was feeling at my darkest
[04:16.65]Back home where the art is and that grit that won't tarnish
[04:19.23]Phone got no charge in, but it got the same digits
[04:22.18]Holdin' a same-day ticket for a visit
[04:24.34]On my way home
[04:26.79]Look at me, always, I got faith in you
[04:30.83]Know the same songs, written for you, always
