Old School Language Lyrics

[Intro]
Every time I kick a verse, every single word of it
Is timeless, ageless, evergreen, permanent
I don't mess with any newfangled slang
But I do make that old school language bang

[Verse]
YOLO was a flash in the pan
Swag? It's already trash in the can
But man, my flow is so hot
When I pull that mic from the stand
It gets scorched black in my hand
And turns to ashes like a match lit
Burnt from the fire that Zach spit
Every word is a classic
More than I can say for "cray," "twerk" or "ratchet"
But look, I'm no hater who wants to dis
That is not what I wish to do with this
Give me your attention. Hark to the plan
Hear and obey as I bark a command
You're coming with me through a wormhole
On a journey through time to reach the eternal
Word to your mother, here we go Back to fifteen thousand years ago

[Bridge]
So this study came out with a list of words
That are "ultraconserved," read down the page
These are words that "have been retained
In related forms since the end of the last ice age"
Their sounds and meanings have remained
Remarkably similar for fifteen thousand years
And all of them appeared in that verse that you heard
And that you're going to hear again right here
Double time

[Verse]

[Outro]
(Old)
Vocab words that go backwards in time?
I got plenty, chum
(Old)
Specifically these twenty-some
Stretching across many a millennium
(Old)
No newfangled slang, but dang
I can sure make that old school language bang
And how great is it that "old"
Is one of the words that's incredibly old?
It's perfect
