When I was growing up, we only $#&@ real ^!$$%s
Real ^!$$%s, really had some skill, ^!$$%s
No weak ^!$$%s, this are better beast ^!$$%

No whack ^!$$%, now we're bringing back, ^!$$%!
When I was growing up, we only $#&@ real ^!$$%s
Real ^!$$%s, really had some skill, ^!$$%s

No weak ^!$$%s, this are better beast ^!$$%
No whack ^!$$%, now we're bringing back, ^!$$%!


DJs play the new %#@!, that's exclusive
Yeah, I love the 90s, but I need revolutions
..tell me what you need

I don't give the beats, so let the mother $#&@er breathe!
I stretch it out, rapping for the fearless
Lying these oppressed I was...

..with the white walls
Am I really spitting, that's why we really don't like y'all
(*##$ing!


Chorus:
This is for the New School, the New School!

This is for the New School, the New School!
New School, where the thieves don't play that %#@!!
New School, where the thieves don't play that %#@!!


Black ... is underrated, never under pay
Twenty years to show money, I'm trying to do the same

Only... and I only lead the willing
You ^!$$%s ain't no clean, yo you ^!$$%s just be chilling
I play my own %#@! cause I'm the illest

I never met my heroes, but I bet that they can feel it
A bunch of ^!$$%s got sad, thought they could beat me to the punch
Then wake up that... saw %#@! and the ^!$$%s $#&@ it up

..home grown %#@!
Independent as it is, but my logo's big
We cut no corners, killed that weed %#@!, don't send no warning!

Cut a !@$@ footprint, the global warming
..don't need no more MCs
You rappers like... don't let them touch them 16s

I won't protect this like my hip hop is my...
And can't a ^!$$% see me, no I put that on that...


Chorus:
This is for the New School, the New School!
This is for the New School, the New School!

New School, where the thieves don't play that %#@!!
New School, where the thieves don't play that %#@!!


Spray them up $#&@ing trainer...
They used to say that we was dangerous, dangerous
Spray them up $#&@ing trainer...

They used to say that we was dangerous, dangerous
So ^!$$% claim this for the South, make some money
All I say is true, ain't a damn thing funny

All I say is true, $#&@ the new school...

When I was growing up, we only $#&@ real ^!$$%s

Real ^!$$%s, really had some skill, ^!$$%s
No weak ^!$$%s, this are better beast ^!$$%
No whack ^!$$%, now we're bringing back, ^!$$%!

When I was growing up, we only $#&@ real ^!$$%s
Real ^!$$%s, really had some skill, ^!$$%s
No weak ^!$$%s, this are better beast ^!$$%

No whack ^!$$%, now we're bringing back, ^!$$%!
