about

This rapper-guitarist-singer isn't afraid to tell you just how hopelessly out of touch he's become in the 2020's. If you've ever dubbed tape to tape, or tried to learn the moonwalk, then you'll know just what Benjiphonik is talking about. And even if you haven't, Benji will teach you the moves.

lyrics

Ya ever dub tape ta tape, cassette to cassette
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever say “Funky Fresh,” or “Yo, that’s Def.”
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever rock British Knights, black-n-white so tight
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever bomb Rappers Delight or shout Dyn-O-Mite!
Then you’re the really old school

Whach-you-gone do when them thangs go ‘way
I’m-a shave it on down, make music all day
Whach-you-gone do when them hairs turn grey
They already grey, bae, whach-you try-na say

No way, WAY!, I got old
Shay what, WHAT, I got old
HEY, ONE MORE TIME, I got old
HEY, HEY, HEY

Ya ever pop-lock to the beat, A1 on the street
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever search the back of stores, cardboard for your floors
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever STOP- Hammer Time, battle cats with some rhymes
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever dial 8-6-7-5-3-0-9
Then you’re the really old school

Whach-you-gone do when them thangs go ‘way
I’m-a shave it on down, make music all day
Whach-you-gone do when them hairs turn grey
They already grey, bae, whach-you try-na say

No way, YES WAY!, I got old
Shay what, WHAT, I got old
HEY, ONE MORE TIME, I got old
HEY, HEY, HEY

O-o-oo-o-o-oo-ol
He’s so o-old
O-o-oo-o-o-oo-ol
He’s so o-old

Ya ever booty-bounce your seat, moonwalk with ya feet
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever play Kool Moe Dee or Biz Markie
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever make a boombox scream like Radio Raheem
Then you’re the old school
Ya ever see DJ RUN, Funky 4 + 1
Then you’re the really old school

No way, YES WAY!, I got old
Shay what, WHAT, I got old
HEY, ONE MORE TIME, I got old
HEY, HEY, HEY

Whach-you-gone do when them thangs go ‘way
I got old
Shay what, WHAT!
I got old
Whach-you-gone do when them hairs turn grey
I got old
HEY, HEY, HEY
