Old School Love
Lupe Fiasco feat. Ed Sheeran Lyrics

Gimme that old school love right now (l-love you baby)
I want to experience the old fashioned love that people used to have, and I love you, baby.

You know when I hold you, you won't be alone
When I hold you, I'll be there for you.

As long as I'm here
I'll be here for you.

As long as you love me (l-love you baby)
As long as you love me, I'll be here for you, and I love you, baby.

Gimme that old school love right now
I want to experience the old fashioned love that people used to have.

Gimme that late 80's early 90's old school
I want the love from the late 80s and early 90s, the way it used to be.

Feelin' like my second album, so cool
Feeling like my second album, so fresh and cool like it was back in the day.

Chiraq summer lookin' so cruel
The summer in Chiraq is looking so cruel, as it's tough trying to make it in the present time.

Look shorty in the eye, told me it was no rules
I looked the girl in the eye and she told me that there were no rules.

Went to speak but was like never mind
I was going to say something, but then decided against it.

Let my mind just sneak back to a better time
I let my mind go back to a better time when things were simpler.

When I was his age and if he's ever mine
When I was his age and if he becomes mine.

Thinkin' he would only think back to this and never find
If he ever thinks back, he won't find anything better.

Better times to think back too when it comes
Times that are better to reminisce about when they come.

And he's older in the presence of somebody young
When he's older and around someone young.

Tellin' him the same things that he told me
Telling him the same things that someone once told me.

And he reacts the same way as that O.G.
He reacts the same way an old gangster would to the same thing.

But it's old school, it's like '03
It's old school, it's like it was in 2003.

And this old man is my old me
This old man represents who I used to be.

Takes a long time to happen so fast
Things take a long time to happen, but once they do, it feels like it happened in no time.

To realize that your future is somebody else's past, what's up?

Top down, can't be a classic if it's no wood

If you don't know what, then you new school
If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you're part of the new school.

Melle Mel's, Ice-T's, and the 2 Cools

Had to walk 'cause it's hard to run in those unbuckled shells
They had to walk because it was hard to run in those unbuckled shoes.

One microphone and a couple 12's
All you needed was one microphone and a pair of speakers.

Six drum sounds and a couple bells
All you needed was a few drum sounds and bells as well.

Is all you had to make a couple rails
That's all you needed to make a couple of big hits.

And that's a track, and if you want it (eeh)

You have to make it like that (like that, like that)
You have to make it sound good like that.

Now what's one turtle to a couple snails?
What's one person compared to a group of others?

Takes a long time to happen so fast

How can I reel-to-reel when there's Pro Tool?
How can I be a traditionalist when everyone else is using modern technology?

I can't dig it at all because there's no tube
I don't like it at all because there's no tube.

Fire when you speak but ain't no warmth in your vocals
You speak with passion, but there's no heart in your voice.

Might have been a better rhyme then just never mind
I might have had a better rhyme than just not saying anything at all.

If it's better with time then think in line
If it gets better with time, then you should think along the same lines as everyone else.

That you're going to be your nicest 'round your midlife crisis
You'll peak in your nicest way during your mid-life crisis.

If your life like Christ live your midlife like it's Christ-like
If you've been living like Jesus, then continue that lifestyle in your mid-life.

But nigga, I ain't psychic
But I'm not a psychic.

I know it's all a cycle and everybody bike it

And France is enormous you're Lance with endorsements
France is huge, and you're Lance (Armstrong) with endorsements.

But you might need a hand to enhance your performance
But you may need help to improve your performance.

Consider this a kilogram of encouragement
Consider this a lot of encouragement.

Teach you how to sneak it past the enforcement
Teach you how to get around the rules and regulations.

And when you get it through in a manner so cool
And when you finally get through, do it in a cool way.

Remember to give a little nod to the old school
Remember to acknowledge the old school.

And give me that old school love right now.

As long as I'm here
I'll be here for you.

Give me that old school love right now (oh-ooh)
Give me that old school love right now.
