Trouble at the Old Mill (feat. Dan O)

[Intro]
Ayo
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, listen

[Verse]
I'm an old dog, these are all old tricks
From the old world, back to Mixelplx
Saw your old man running from the old bill
Heard a guy yelling that there's trouble at the old mill
In the old days, people got born old
Turned cold, dry, like clamouring for old gold
I'm so old I'm forever of the Cairo, yo
I'm so old I write notes down in Biro
On a napkin, wrote another rap bin
Writing old songs, use tongs to get at them
When my old raps fall into the toaster, yo
I be the best in the bizz

Like some gags just never get old
Like the one about the horse with the long face
You look like you're from outer space
And face it, these races have all been fixed
Maybe my best raps have all been in
Everything's listed, don't get it twisted
I'm not old school, I'm just old, I missed it
"Missed what, man?"
Whatever just happened
Something got broke, I'm still listening to Tone Loc
On cassette tape
"Wait, you're not serious?"
I'm dead serious, I wrote something, here it is
It's a letter to my past self
Back to SuperValu where I used to stack the shelf

"Don't get into education"
But I did, I used to watch claymation
On the station with Michael Tunn
Now all I wanna do is rock the nation (like, like, like, like, like)
It might seem unrealistic
But like I said, man, I'm so old I missed it
I'm not a mystic, can't see into crystals
But my rap flows attack wack MCs like water pistols

I tried not to get old, I tried cryogenics
But I got so cold a team of medics
Had to revive my body, I was stiff as a plank
Went to the bank, took out my life-savings
Took up life saving, but I saw strange things in the water
I thought I saw a sawfish, I fought a
Barracuda with my bare hands
Plus I fought a bear once, but that was a Care Bear
Damn

I feel so old today
I can only make references to games I used to play
Or shows I used to watch
I'm bopping on the spot
But surely life has gotta be more than Fraggle Rock (rock, rock, rock)
Wait just a second
With time we gain both knowledge and perspective
My only directive is keep it reflective
Looking for clues like a microphone detective

[Outro]
Looking for clues like a microphone detective (x3)
Attack wack MCs like water pistols (rock, rock, rock)
Wait just a second
Looking for clues like a microphone detective
"Is that it?" "No!"
Heard a guy yelling that there's trouble at the old mill
Like, like, like, something got broke
Something, something got broke, I'm still listening to Tone Loc

"It's six years ago, now. And I waited all that time for your new album. I found it three days ago, it's genius as you are, eh. It's crazy. I- I hope to speak with you one day. Uhh, yep"
