[Intro: R. Kelly]
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
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
[Verse 1: Aaliyah (R. Kelly)]
Hey boy, won't you play for me
Right now, give me that old school beat
I wanna hear it here (here it is), grooving all night long
I gotta let you know you got it going on
Play it for me
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Aaliyah]
Hey boy, let me hear your song
Yeah, play 'til the break of dawn
Keep it right here, grooving all night
I gotta let you know that it feels so right
Play it for me
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: R. Kelly]
Yo, back in the days I used to listen to records
Trying to figure out how I could make my own records
Working in restaurants, busting on dishes
Hoping that the man upstairs respect my wishes
Cigarette lighters, Ardig wallets, I was selling them
'Till I met the B.H. and bust down A Capella to him
He said you got talent and you're going places
I'd heard that line before but what the heck, I signed the papers
Ever since that day I drew my head high it was on
And now I'm mixing new music with the old school songs
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
R. Kelly play me something from the old school
[Verse 1: Aaliyah (R. Kelly)]
Hey boy, won't you play for me
Right now, give me that old school beat
I wanna hear it here (here it is), grooving all night long
I gotta let you know you got it going on
Play it for me
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Aaliyah]
Hey boy, let me hear your song
Yeah, play 'til the break of dawn
Keep it right here, grooving all night
I gotta let you know that it feels so right
Play it for me
