Old School to the Core

Verse 1

They been talkin’ in the shadows, tryna dim my spark

Plotting on my downfall like they own the dark

But I came up from the concrete, pressure made me rise

Every envy-driven whisper only sharpened my drive

I move steady, never shaky, that’s the code I keep

They prayin’ for my stumble while I’m barely losing sleep

Jealous hearts stay bitter ‘cause they never put in work

But I built this with my hands, every blessing that I earned

Hook

Yeah, envy in the air but I breathe power back

Turnin’ every dirty look into fuel for the track

Try to break me? Never that — I’m too seasoned for the fall

Old school soul, standin’ tall through it all

Verse 2

See, I came from the days when respect was the rule

Not this modern-day noise where the loudest one’s a fool

I keep my circle tight like the laces on my kicks

And any snake in the grass gets exposed real quick

They envy ‘cause I’m grounded, ‘cause my spirit never bends

‘Cause my loyalty is sacred and I don’t pretend

So let ‘em envy if they want — it’s the same old song

I’ve been humble, but don’t push me — I’m built too strong

Outro

I’m the comeback in the flesh, the return they didn’t see

Envy only lights the fire — I embrace what it feeds

Stand firm, stay classic, keep my honor intact

Old school to the core, and I never look back
