New Train Ole Route - Large Professor

I was waiting by the door, then I entered

And it was by the great Paul C I was mentored

A lot of f-flash and cash been tended

That was a new day when the ones who invented

The game is getting overshadowed by lame

Executives, but I remain in the record biz

Twenty-some odd years and still counting

Could build a mountain with one hand and fill a fountain

Of youth with the other, my brother

Don’t disrespect me, I was on TV

When they was in diapers, we was in nightclubs

Didn’t care about marketing or hype cause

It was all natural, laying them tracks dude

For you to ride on, I’ll click a firearm

On anybody that’s trying to divide our culture

Remember these few words I quote you

You’re new train running the ole route

Just ask them old G’s what it’s all about

Been there, blowing smoke in the air

Money, women, cars everywhere

They want the 90s, we give em 90s

In the 90s, live to 90s

In the 90s, we live to 90s

Was the 90s in the 90s

Anytime I land safely, I feel eight feet tall

Give my thanks to God and recall

What the right brothers did for us, indigenous

With North Carolina, we all got a finer

Thing to be grateful for

Like a sign of the times, or a 9 to 5, or an 8 to 4

I’m Paid in Full, Eric B. and Rakim

Thankful no one is telling me to lock in

From a block in the Q I bring you

Out of the darkness with more hot product

In honor of those before, E Pluribus Unum

We used to lash out and goon em

But now we more civilized for the enterprise

Got the milkshake, burger, and the fries

We need to analyze how this world got spoiled

And give thanks to those that’s before you
