Old School All Respect

Lyrics

[Intro] DJ Kris, bring it back with respect Old school in the room, everybody check [Verse 1] From the block-party speakers to the long black ride Two voices left a mark that the years can’t hide One brought the hooks, one the drawl so cool Made the whole world lean when they bent those rules West Coast on the map, let the record spin Good stories, big laughs, let the good times in Raise one for the craft and the folks who came through This is love for the era, and respect from the crew [Chorus] Hands up high, let the whole room sway For the ones who made a sound that still holds today DJ Kris on the cut, keep the groove in check Old school, all love, all respect [Verse 2] No crown gets handed out, every verse earned its place Every crowd knew the words, every town knew the bass From the smooth to the sly, from the grin to the glide Two distinct signatures, side by side We salute the influence, the style, the design The way a simple phrase could turn into a sign No copy, just a toast to the sound they made And the path for the next ones that they helped pave [Chorus] Hands up high, let the whole room sway For the ones who made a sound that still holds today DJ Kris on the cut, keep the groove in check Old school, all love, all respect [Bridge] One for the hooks, one for the flow One for the records that taught us where to go Turn it up easy, let the good names ring Respect to the legends—let the whole room sing [Final Chorus] Hands up high, let the whole room sway For the ones who made a sound that still holds today DJ Kris on the cut, keep the groove in check Old school, all love, all respect [Outro] DJ Kris, let it ride, then bring it back Respect to the roots and the whole West Coast track
