prince – ol’ skool company lyrics
every once in awhile
you need some ol’ skool company
somebody that appreciates a s-xy groove
and an ol’ school melody
when god, his son and the love of family
ruled in the community
the songs you sing lift you up to heaven
a heaven we can believe in
everybody’s talkin’ about hard times
like it just started yesterday
people i know they’ve been strugglin’
at least it seems that way
fat cats on wall street they got a bailout
while somebody else got to wait
seven hundred billion but my old neighborhood
ain’t nothing changed but the date, listen
every once in a while
you need some ol’ skool company
somebody that appreciates a s-xy groove
and an ol’ school melody
when god, his son and the love of family
ruled in the community
the songs you sing lift you up to heaven
a heaven we can believe in
ain’t nothing ever come from complaining
except a bitter heart, that’s true
follow along and you gon’ wanna do
something before the next chorus is through
the songs we sing they used to mean somethin’
now every other one is just mean
rather than reminisce i’m telling you this
it’s time for a brand new scene
every once in a while
you need some ol’ skool company
somebody that appreciates a s-xy groove
and an ol’ school melody
when god, his son and the love of family
ruled in the community
the songs you sing lift you up to heaven
a heaven we can believe in
everybody’s sinkin’ in the quicksand
created by the keepers of time
cast aside by using ancient tricks
that changes your state of mind
got you catering to the whims of the flesh
before you get your paper right
call me old fashioned but back in the day
there wasn’t no shawties in sight
ol’ skool company
ol’ school melody
ruled in the community
lift you up, a heaven we can believe in
first come job then come marriage
before shawty come out with the baby carriage
call me old fashioned
just clap yo’ hands, just clap yo’ hands
radio used to be local untouched by the
untouched by the man
songs we used to sing, used to mean something
now they just bland like the drummer
ol’ skool company
ol’ school melody
ruled in the community
lift you up, a heaven we can believe in
new world hippies say we don’t care
make the party strip to their underwear
turn the lights off so they don’t stare
somebody blind fold billy, he’s so square
christina milian playing truth or dare
maxwell and cee-lo they gonna end up there
picking out the number, nick the dime, don’t care
as long as she hasn’t found n-body scared
ol’ skool company
ol’ skool melody
ruled in the community
ol’ skool company
ol’ skool melody
ol’ skool company
ol’ skool melody
ruled in the community
lift you up, a heaven we can believe in
