G-Natural - Old Man Rap
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
My beats are kinda jazzy cause I'm kinda sick of trap
Used to be the youngblood, but now them days is gone
Bout to tell these emcees to get up off my lawn
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
Can't remember these handshakes so just gimme some dap
Still wearing jorts, cause that's just how I rolls, if you
Wanna peep my shoe game, better get some Dr. Scholls
I'm be-ack, it's G Nat, with beats and rhymes I'm more at ease
Started at twelve, now I'm well into my 40s
Speaking of 04, that's the year I married
If you ask me, "are you happily?" then I'mma tell you "very"
Still like to go on dates, Iove to take her out
But when we're tired, then it's Hulu on the couch
Cutting down on sugar cause I'm thinking bout my future
Drank that LaCroix, then chase it with kombucha
Still try to be stylish but no longer chase the currents
Instead of bragging bout my whip I'm grateful for insurance
"Can't none of y'all see me," is what I tell the masses
But I can't see me either, it might be time for glasses
Thinking bout the past sometimes it gets me kinda misty
Mark Ruffalo is cool, but I'd rather have Bill Bixby
Secure in my convictions, not afraid to stand alone
Bump Steph and KD; gimme Stockton and Malone
Never saw Game of Thrones I'm on that Perry Mason Matlock
Might catch me looking G'd but won't catch me on no catwalk
My favorite action hero is probably Robert Mueller
And I still think of Jim Carrey as the white dude from In Living Color
Always Gen X, don't call me millennial
Born in the 70s during America's bicentennial
Came up in the 80s when TV would teach you lessons
This your brain on drugs any questions?
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
My beats are kinda jazzy cause I'm kinda sick of trap
Used to be the youngblood, but now them days is gone
Bout to tell these emcees to get up off my lawn
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
Can't remember these handshakes so just gimme some dap
Still wearing jorts, cause that's just how I rolls
Wanna peep my shoe game, better get some Dr. Scholls
When I'm on that Xbox, especially with my peers
Won't catch me on no Fortnite, it's Halo up in heres
Don't mess with horror flicks, trynna conquer all my fears
Since when Michael from the Good Place was the bartender from Cheers
I'm sayin' it's been a minute, been around the block a few
Before Ricki and Jerry there was Sally Jesse Donahue
And I promise you, this is homage to forgotten dudes
All the homies into' Star Trek instead of Doctor Who
Especially who admired LeVar Burton
Perception and Community, the man continued workin'
Did 23 seasons of Reading Rainbow, and
Also Roots ("Slavery ... the more you know")
'Cause knowing's half the battle but the other half is wisdom
Don't wait until you're old as me for you to go and get some
I know I said I'm old but really I'm kinda jokin'
Don't need no hip replacement and none of my bones are broken
So I'mma keep you open with my lyrical prowess
Psalm 91 and 16, my future life is boundless
Assuming that I'm faithful to the call that God gave me
I try to listen and say "yes," and not "eh?" or "maybe"
So if you're coming up behind me, don't be mistaken
I've never seen the righteous be forsaken, or beggin' for bread
Especially not that Ezekiel 4:9, cause I'm
Not trynna eat bread that smells like your behind
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
My beats are kinda jazzy cause I'm kinda sick of trap
Used to be the youngblood, but now them days is gone
Bout to tell these emcees to get up off my lawn
This is old man rap, it's old man rap
Can't remember these handshakes so just gimme some dap
Still wearing jorts, cause that's just how I rolls
Wanna peep my shoe game, better get some Dr. Scholls
