Oldie But Goodie Lyrics

[Chorus: Rodney O & Run-D.M.C.]
There it is
Here's a oldie, but goodie

[Verse 1: Rodney O]
Rolling to a spot on a dope street
Brother's hear me booming through the hood with the dope beat
Homies on the corners drinking [?] and a fourty
Listen to me climb as I rhyme to an oldie
And oldie, but goodie with the hip-hop sound
Something real funky from the brother that's bonky
Bound to the groove like a slave to the rhythm
Rodney, Joe, and Jeff with the oldie that's hitting
Getting real dope for the brothers and the ladies (Get it up)
The OG track that bust it in the 80s
Now it's the 90s and yo, your ass could we
Takin' to the street with the oldie but goodie

[Chorus: Rodney O & Run-D.M.C.]
There it is
It's an oldie, but goodie
There it is (Get it up)
Here's an oldie, but goodie (Get it up)
There it is

[Verse 2: Joe Cooley]
Here we go with a 'nother dope single
Flexin' new styles with a brand new lingo
On a old track that makes you look back
When high rollers only rode Cadillacs
Laid back playing that jam Cutie Pie
Back when Jheri Curls used to look fly
Bitches wore [?] and things
Yes, when high school parties used to swing
This the type of jam that we used to pop to
Play it at a party and the gangstas acting fool
Know it's the 90s and you ask "Yo, could we?"
Take it to the street with the oldie but goodie
[Chorus: Rodney O & Run-D.M.C.]
There it is
Here's an oldie, but goodie
There it is (Get it up)
Here's an oldie, but goodie (Get it up)
Get it up
It's an oldie, but goodie (Get it up)
Get it up
There it is
There it is

[Verse 3: Rodney O]
You just heard the song, now play it
You don't know the words, but you still try to say it
I remember that song way back when
Used to play the jam over 'gain and again
Now it's back in a funky new way
Straight from some brothers off the streets of LA
Not down with the posse, a group, or tribe
It's down with my homies and a .45
Hitting like a champ, we got a fool on the roll
The mic is like a barrel, so watch the end smoke
This is the 90s and yo, your ass could we?
Take it to the street with the oldie, but goodie

[Chorus: Rodney O & Run-D.M.C.]
There it is
Here's an oldie, but goodie
There it is (Yeah, Get it up)
It's an oldie, but goodie (Get it up)
Get it up
Here's an oldie, but goodie (Get it up)
There it is
There it is

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
