Im old school
in the old way
I believe it’s the best
Even today

I believe a women is a lady
Until she tells me different.
I believe when you say
“I do” then you don’t
With anyone else.
When my dads in the room
I talk only when he’s done
I don’t make fun of him
When he’s gone.
If my sister says
You didn’t do her right
I’m gonna find you
Even if you’re my friend.

I’m old school,
In the old way
I believe its best
Even today

When I tell my child
“This is the last time I’m telling you”
It is.
When I say “I love you”
It means all of you
Not just a piece.
I still smoke
I still drink
But never more than I love.
When my buddy
gets into a fight
He will never get hit from behind.
I will shake a soldier’s hand
I don’t care what color he is.

I’m old school
In the old way
I believe its best
Even today

Yoinn my friend, I can see that you are a man of respect, being taught what it means in the old school and I salute you for that.

Being taught respect is something a lot of young people are not taught today. I'm sure the old ways were a lot better as far as respect is concerned. Take care.
