Old School
P.K.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the rule of the rap genre
Y'all say that I need to keep the heat
After I defeat critics telling them to take a seat
Better yet a stool
They'd be calling me a fool cause I would drown them in a pool
That would be so cruel for critics, even yet
Don't tell me to compete with you
Could I be cool enough to do this shit?
Bruh, I don't give a fuck if I'm uncool or cool
The treat is that I could tweet something to piss off big fan-bases
Then I'd completely not give a fuck about the backlash people give me
You'd say I drool after that tweet?
Fuck that, if we meet in the streets
You'd come in short and chubby
Like you can't fight
You gotta be bigger than me
Just like strong wimps trying to act like a pimp when they're simps
They also trying to get strong like The Rock
Shit you have a shrimp cock
White boys saying they're gonna pull up with a Glock
You have to drop down and give me forty push ups if you're tough
You got some bluff after you've flopped
If you we're a cop
You'd cuff me over little words?
Bitch please, you are one of these sensitive fuckas
Like take a walk outside instead of trying to mock me indoors
Do you have a disease?
Shit no wonder why you trying to talk the shit nonstop
When you trying to fuck virtual trees
And I see that you got fleas for not cleaning yourself
I came here to knock you out
But you smell like you haven't mopped the floors in five years
Like P.U muthafucka
Let's state that if I out-rap you
It'll be extreme for you to get a trap on your fate
Let's be straight up serious and snap out of it
And not beef otherwise they'll make it out of a meme
But we can clap them out of our way by rapping about them
I had to scrap the song "A Lil Crazy" off this album
Because it seems I did lose interest in it
If I was in Shade forty-five, I'd freestyle
Ay, I don't care if I'm perfect or not
All I'm here is some certain amount of respect
After an accidental popularity
From one person from first grade but in second grade
I decided to do the rest myself
Before I'm at my best like I won't rest anyway
I suggest you to be the guest
When I take over your songs when I get featured
Back in between twenty-nineteen to twenty-twenty-one
I was a shitty rapper but I've improved since sho rilla tried to make me dope
And I can say shoutout to sho rilla
I better be the killa rapper so I can become godzilla
I will cope with him to preform in shows
I should be better than vanilla ice
That I want to talk to DJ yella for the shows
Shoutout to Eli & Dru Boyle
I should boil muthafuckas with the beat and lyrics
I had to foil their plans on how they're going to destroy my career
Because me and my homies will put fear into you
We won't spoil you just like your parents did
We will give you a severe discipline
Instead of beer as a treat
We will give you a soil instead
And you are going to like it or not
Maybe if we discipline you more
We can give you some deer meat but that shit ain't happening
Because you are going to get beat for the first time
You are going to carry concrete for two miles and oh wait
I gotta open my ears
Because I can't hear yo stupid ass saying compliments
I think this is it for the song I guess...
The song "Old School" by P.K.O. is a nostalgic reflection on the good old days of childhood and a lamentation for the loss of carefree fun as we grow older. The opening lines of the song ask, "Where did we go so wrong, how did we last so long?" suggesting that the change from childhood to adulthood is a difficult and confusing journey, and perhaps not entirely desirable. The singer acknowledges that the memories of those times might be hazy and disjointed, but the desire to recapture that feeling of freedom and joy is still strong.
The song contrasts the pressures and stress of adult life with the innocent happiness of childhood. The line "When did it come to this, too much of this business" suggests that the pace and demands of modern life have sucked the joy out of our existence. The song encourages us to resist the pull of the past and strive for a better future, one which recaptures the playful spirit of youth. The chorus repeats the phrase "Old School-Recess!!!" emphasizing the importance of remembering and cherishing the childhood memories that connect us to the happy, carefree spirit of our youth.
Overall, the song "Old School" is a bittersweet meditation on growing up and the things we lose as we leave childhood behind. It's both a reminder of our past and an encouragement to keep striving for happiness and fulfillment.
