Zach Sherwin - Old School Language lyrics

[Intro] Every time I kick a verse, every single word of it Is timeless, ageless, evergreen, permanent I don't mess with any newfangled slang But I do make that old school language bang [Verse] YOLO was a flash in the pan Swag? It's already trash in the can But man, my flow is so hot When I pull that mic from the stand It gets scorched black in my hand And turns to ashes like a match lit Burnt from the fire that Zach spit Every word is a cla**ic More than I can say for "cray," "twerk" or "ratchet" But look, I'm no hater who wants to dis That is not what I wish to do with this Give me your attention. Hark to the plan Hear and obey as I bark a command You're coming with me through a wormhole On a journey through time to reach the eternal Word to your mother, here we go Back to fifteen thousand years ago [Bridge] So this study came out with a list of words That are "ultraconserved," read down the page These are words that "have been retained In related forms since the end of the last ice age" Their sounds and meanings have remained Remarkably similar for fifteen thousand years And all of them appeared in that verse that you heard And that you're going to hear again right here Double time [Verse] [Outro] (Old) Vocab words that go backwards in time? I got plenty, chum (Old) Specifically these twenty-some Stretching across many a millennium (Old) No newfangled slang, but dang I can sure make that old school language bang And how great is it that "old" Is one of the words that's incredibly old? It's perfect
