Rob Epifani - Mr. Old School

Listen to bass kick in your ear
Then listen to the time keeping snare in the air
Exist vibrations, and they make there way to you
You hear it but you feel it on another level too
At the base level music is a reflection of its maker
Turning sounds into a landscape
Tune in there's an escape
To a land where emotion is a tangible thing
Through rap jazz classical or even that swing
We speak in different tones but it doesn't seem to click on
That people in this world are deeper than the mask they put on
Got hair color height and weight
Music taste and those debates
Which never seem to end
In the peace those people preaching
Pause, let me get right back on track again
All through the years my music's been my best friend
Got Kendrick and Cole, Andy and the Tribe
But I had to come back with this old school vibe
Hold on we ain't done yet
Mr. Old School coming to the party with the flex
A new address, and new life really
It's coming for me quick, peace out Philly
Dilly dilly, man I'm only 23
A young dude starting his life walking with Christ
Tryna stay humble, but I know how much I've grown
Cause I look around my zone
And there's adult kids everywhere
They're on the throne can't hear the metronome inside their head
It's a count down to falling but there's never any dread
It's like the news and the pride and the outside are what's read
But there's no introspection leading to a different end, wake up

You know you heard it when you tuned in
And now you'll hear it as you check out
Jesus is the one that matters
Coming from this jar of clay in the way
Is where I've found myself, wrestling, tryna understand
Why my flesh wins when I'm called to be a man
Feel my weak self, falling down to the ground
Over and under, deaf to the sound
Of trumpets and soft steps coming closer to me
I hear a man breathe, the sound refreshed me truly
I look up to see a smiling face and I get it
Christ came to see me in my dirt and my ruin
I know too many songs about pursuing,
How God chases me to the peaks and the valleys
But I understand
Words mean less isolated
More integrated with experience
And feeling from the life you living
So chin up to the kingdom
Not down in your details or retail sales
They'll catch your soul tripping
On materials and present moment issues
Aim to put it all, in perspective with the Cross
Otherwise we're lost
How often saved becomes complacent
There's deeper love then peoples eyes and bank account statistics
To hammer home the issues of our life that's lived today
We gotta leave the comfortable dark and turn away
