Old and New - K Rino

There’s an interesting dynamic starting to develop

Old rapper, new rapper, old rapper, new rapper

Yeah, let’s see what’s going on

Old rapper, new rapper, haha

Boys tripping out here, tell y’all the difference

Listen!

New rappers pop tags, new rappers got swag

Old rapper heard a new rapper spitting and got mad

Old rapper said that the new rapper should not brag

On jewelry and cash and what they consider hot trash

Youngster said, «Whatever you old rappers did, we shot past

1998 was the year that your product dropped last»

Old rapper said, «But we got skills that y’all cannot grasp

We did it for years, after two albums y’all flop fast»

The young man said, «You jealous of what they pay me, bro

You’re whole career’s money can’t compare to what I make at shows»

Old rapper shook his head and said, «Yeah, maybe so

Buy y’all can never do it like we did it back in '84

See most of y’all are just a passing phase»

The new rapper laughed and said, «flip 84 around fool, that’s your age

Now you say we arrogant but that was kind of funny

You working at Khans and I’m making all kinds of money»

Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads

Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead

Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that’s what I said

Instead of tripping on who better, why don’t we all just get this bread?

The O.G.

said, «Laugh all you want but young man you’re wrong

The nerve of you to disrespect the foundation you standing on

Being humble while your strong is what I’m recommending

No one who blew up ever pictured their run ever ending

You doing shows worldwide and your record’s spinning

But the game is long, don’t get kicked out in the second inning

Longevity I got is what you wanna get»

New rapper said, «Yeah, my Daddy used to jam you on cassette

But all jokes aside, something that you should consider

When y’all are no loner relevant y’all start acting bitter

There’s lots of older rappers eating, I can name plenty of names

Instead of hating on our fame won’t you give me some game?

And I can give you game 'cause you need understanding now

We selling digital units, merchandise and branding now

And some of us are disrespectful, but so are y’all»

Old rapper said, «Yeah, pride come before a fall»

Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads

Old rapper, new rapper need to clique up instead

Old rapper, new rapper, yeah that’s what I said

Instead of tripping on who better, why don’t we all just get this bread?

It’s hard for old school artists to breathe in these climates

They wish that they was part of rap’s current economics

Instead of grinding they stay confined in making comments

About how this generation refuse to pay them homage

Youngsters in the game wanna see their name with greats

But old rappers and new rappers make the same mistakes

If you real, you last forever, time can’t erase

The labels drained us all but we never blame the snakes

We see the same reflection, just looking in different mirrors

We walk the same roads, just did it in different eras

The new rappers say they hate on our accomplishments

The old rappers say the new lacking in consciousness

Working with each other ought to be what the mission is

We can agree to disagree on our differences

Young G, I know you’re hungry and you’re feisty

But never criticize something that one day you might be
