{Here’s the old school with the new school}
{Here’s the old school with the new school}
{Here’s the old school with the new school}
{Here’s the old school with the new school}

R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Hey, yeah)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ (Alright) from the old school (Oh...oh...)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Old, the o-o-old)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school

Hey, boy, won’t you play for me
Right now, mmm, give me that old school beat
I wanna hear it here {There it is} groovin’ all night long
I gotta let you know, you got it goin’ on, play it for me

R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play me somethin’ real)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Somethin’ I could feel)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (The old, the o-o-old)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play)

Hey boy, let me hear your song
Let it play till the break of dawn
Keep it right here, groovin’ all night
I gotta let you know that it feels so right, play it for me

R. Kelly, play me (Oh...) somethin’ from the old school (Somethin’ from the old school)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play your song, I want to hear)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Hear you play, play)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ (Oh, oh) from the old school (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Yo’, back in the days I used to listen to records
Tryin’ to figure out how I could make my own records
Workin’ in restaurants, bustin’ up dishes
Hopin’ that the Man upstairs respect my wishes
Cigarette lighters, ID wallets, I was sellin’ ‘em
Till I met the BH and bust down acapella to him
He said “You got talent and you’re goin’ places”
I heard that line before, but what the heck, I signed the papers
Every since that day I drew my Hancock, it was on
And now I’m mixin’ new music with the old school songs

R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Somethin’ from the old school)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play somethin’ I can feel, yeah)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play somethin’ from the old school)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (I want to hear, hear you play)

R. Kelly, play me (Play) somethin’ from the old school (Somethin’ from the old school)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (I need to hear, so won’t you play it for me)
R. Kelly, play me somethin’ from the old school (Play it for me)
