Classic

Let it go

You know my name shadshadshad
We not playing
I put words together like magicmagic
We can't stop man, this is classic
You know my name
Then you know that I'mskratchbastid
So that's what I'mma do take
You backtake you back
Classic classic classic classic

Already classic
And it hasn't even happened yet
Bolt on that 100 meter dash
With the fastest jet stepped on the track
And I already lapped the best
That's the flex classic as a
Jazzy Jeff scratch cassette me and Bastid
We about as classic as classic gets
Classic as a Bob Cousy pass back to Havilcek
Going back to Cali
Like going back to snapping necks
Going back to Nazareth classic hommie
Shad's a vet
Going over heads like you haven't
Had your baggage checked
Cats especially just match the bet
But I stack the deck
All good I take cash or cheques
Spitting that classic slang catching wrecks
Mad corrects scratch the rest

Check it out i'm not trying to preach a
Sermon i just keep returning
To these same proverbs
And wise words when I seek discernment
They find what I speak disturbing they
Say my rapping is country
They say that rapping my country is
Like if Keith was urban
Looking street with the heater
Burning i smirk
And then keep concerning myself with
Real wealth and deeper learning
You see, fashion's just a flash in the pan
What's classic stays classic 'till
It's fashioned again
So I'd rather be the baddest with
A pad and a pen
And just hot for a minute off
Some fad or a trend
That's the definition of classic
Shad with a gem
Still bright when the lights
Or the cameras are dim
In a lab on a limb, and I've been out a while
They just cool down
But I never turn down the dial
Thoroughbred veteran ahead by
A thousand miles being this good – that can
Never go out of style could it?
