[Intro] With the mix and blend With the mix and blend (mix and, mix and blend) With the mix and blend With the mix and blend (I'm going in)
[Verse 1] Let's go back, back to the days of snapback caps Before Steve Jobs was the real Big Mac Go Mac D's and spend two pound Get filled up and you'll get change back Back to the days of shirts and shoes Enfield Town meet News and Chews Phones back then just call me with a SIM No BBM, we were barely texting Face off ting, 51-10 Eros nightclub on the A10 HLC with the mix and blend Toys R Us working at the weekend Let's go back, back in the day You could drive round London and not have to pay Jump on the bus, it was 40p Buying vinyls by D&D Volume six, diamond rings Wearing a cap with a gelled down fringe Looking back them days were jokes Sorry cigarettes them man had smoked We can't go back, that's in the past When I reminisce now, that's why the laugh Bring on the future, live for the day I've been doing music come what, May?

[Verse 2] I'm old school like Nike Air Max Back in the day we rinsed the same packs For exposure, some say liberty Northfield market, I'd buy two or three So many tapes of so many raves I was only a kid then but they were the days Used to get hyped from hearing a deep set Being too young is my biggest regret I missed out on so many things Like Liberty Lara mixing diamond rings Ruffcut Lloyd dropping Anthill Mob DJ EZ breaking in Todd I never got to see Tuff Jam mix I never got to hear Charlie Brown spit If I was the Doctor and had the TARDIS I'd play [?] Heartless

[Verse 3] I'm old school like 7" vinyl And I believe in the ten year cycle Of music comes and music go Wanna be an MC? Keep on your toes Never, never know who's watching you When you're on the mic up in the venue Could be a next man, ready to bite you Want to be an MC and take your title? No way, ain't gonna happen They can't be written so you can never [?] My lyric on mine, yours on yours I got the lyric to make the crowd roar cuh I'm old school like back in the day When the Fresh Prince had the high tops in fade 1990s, garage was the lick Guccis and champers, we would sip
