Change hit quick, like lightning bolt in Baghdad
Memories of boom bap, heart ache, not so bad
Grew up on cassettes, rewind them golden threads
Now streaming all this digital, love's what it bled
Miss the vinyl spin, beat breaks and record's hiss
DJ scratches, turntables, pure sonic bliss
City blocks echoed breakdance on cardboard sheets
Now it's TikTok moves, screens dance where hearts meet
Old school blues, where did our time go?
Lost in the shuffle, in the fast techno
Nostalgia calls loud, hear its echo
Yearning for the past, in the future's glow
Payphones sing songs of quarters, juvenile chats
Brick cell phones heavy, but the era we adapt
Sega Genesis battles, Mario led our clans
Now virtual headsets distract young hands
Boom boxes blared, anthems of the street
Passion in each verse, life along the beat
Now it's algorithms, art gets dissected clean
Soul's in the archive, digitized dreams
Old school blues, where did our time go?
Lost in the shuffle, in the fast techno
Nostalgia calls loud, hear its echo
Yearning for the past, in the future's glow
Mixtapes of love, late nights, dub a friend
CDs burning slow, friendships, the trend
Pokémon on Gameboys, cartridges, legend
Now it's streaming bytes, pixels transcending
(Old school blues, where did our time go?
Lost in the shuffle, in the fast techno
Nostalgia calls loud, hear its echo
Yearning for the past, in the future's glow)
Old school blues, where did our time go?
Lost in the shuffle, in the fast techno
Nostalgia calls loud, hear its echo
Yearning for the past, in the future's glow
I miss the old school(old school)
