Old Rock n Roll Lyrics


For fuck's sakeWe living life like a bubble wrapped ape
She came to mind when I treble that bass
I'm tired of playing the good black
I said I'm tired of playing the good black
I'm tired of having to hold back
I'm tired of wearing this hallmark for some evils that happened way back
I'm tired of blaming the white man
His indiscretion don't betray him
A black man can play him
Some white men are black men too
Niggah to them
A gentleman to youSome white men are black men tooNiggah, Ohwae Owhae
AwakeWatch your body
Wash itself
Baptise baby
I bath in blood
Dare be told
I seldom do surrender

God forsaking no good do-good-er It's all out
Out in the open
Looking for the wild one
Boy I'm fragile
Choke on bones while choking stone
You knock me or your miss me
Or you miss meNiggah, Ohwae Owhae
AwakeOld rock n roll
Not what you've been sold
Congo square is open for business
I was there as god is my witness
There you fucking go
(So there you fucking go)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ol’ Dirty chose his moniker because there was no father to his bastard style. Young Fathers earn theirs by making something so fresh it doesn’t yet have a name. These are three fellas from Edinburgh who’ve been working together since they were 14, who have an elastic mind meld that mimics their fused sensibility of sound, who one day locked themselves in a dingy Scottish basement and came out with something that’d never been done — a fearless combination of beat, rap and song that smells not only of its dark and dank birthplace, but of discovery and of communion.
