Track: New & Classic [New & Classic]

[MV Link (Short)]

Yo
Tradition or
Innovation
That’s right, yeah

Without respect for what’s come before
A brand new song can’t be born
But I’m not going to let myself be bound by the past
Moving forward, evolving, I’ll make my mark with my own anthem
Getting stuck looking in the rear view is just brainless nonsense

What we pass down are our beliefs and our culture
Building up experience gives weight to your words
Overlooking this will lead to your downfall as an empty rap star
Let me teach you how a real one does it

Neither will give way, it’s the New & Classic
Our sounds colliding to make blues and magic
What is real? You gotta feel
No matter when or where stay dope and keep dig dig, diggin’ on
Neither will set down their pride, the New or the Classic
A meeting of eras to play our blues and magic
What is real? Refine your skills
Revolution and tradition give birth to this Brand New Song
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
Respect the past and leave your mark upon a new page
It’s New & Classic
You know what it is
It’s New & Classic

You kids just don’t get it, history is the springboard from where you take off
Tradition is a jewel passed down the ages, self expression is how you polish it
Those who don’t learn from history never know the debt and honor they owe it
I’ll make you see it for yourselves, an inerasable presence

Past, future
That’s why we call it “present”
We’ll break down the archaic cause our innovation can get it
Brush the dust off your antiques, thank you for preserving them
Now we’ll be kindly taking our seat at the head of the table

Neither will give way, it’s the New & Classic
Our sounds colliding to make blues and magic
What is real? You gotta feel
No matter when or where stay dope and keep dig dig, diggin’ on
Neither will set down their pride, the New or the Classic
A meeting of eras to play our blues and magic
What is real? Refine your skills
Revolution and tradition give birth to this Brand New Song
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
Respect the past and leave your mark upon a new page
It’s New & Classic
You know what it is
It’s New & Classic
