Old School
Embracing Old School Wisdom: Ricky Leigh David's Timeless Reflections
Lyrics
Maybe I'm crazy
Expressing a sense of uncertainty or unconventional thinking about oneself.
Maybe just a fool
Suggesting the possibility of being naive or making unwise choices.
Don't think you're going to change me
Rejecting attempts to alter one's fundamental nature or beliefs.
I'm just plain old school
Identifying with a straightforward and traditional mindset.
Sometimes a little too cold
Acknowledging occasional emotional detachment or indifference.
When I'm trying to play it cool
Describing a tendency to maintain a calm and collected demeanor.
And don't you think you're getting old
Reflecting on the perception of aging and resisting change.
When you want to be old school
Emphasizing the commitment to traditional values as one grows older.
There was a time when I believed that dreams came true
Recalling a time when the speaker believed in the attainability of dreams.
How time can change your point of view
Highlighting the transformative nature of time on one's perspective.
There was a time when I'd embrace all that was new
Remembering a phase of embracing novelty and change.
Seems I've reached the age
Indicating the arrival at a stage characterized by self-righteous anger.
Of self-righteous rage
Describing a state of intense and unwavering anger about moral principles.
Brusque, rude, and churlish
Using negative adjectives to portray a rough, discourteous, and surly attitude.
It's often the rule
Suggesting that being brusque is sometimes a norm in certain situations.
At times a little selfish
Admitting occasional selfishness, especially when adhering to traditional values.
When you're thinking in old school
Advocating for a mindset rooted in traditional thinking.
There was a time when I believed that dreams came true
Reiterating the past belief in the realization of dreams.
How time can change your point of view
Stressing the impact of time on altering one's perspective.
There was a time when I'd embrace all that was new
Recalling a previous openness to embracing new experiences.
Seems I've reached the age
Expressing a current state of self-righteous anger and frustration.
Of self-righteous rage
Reiterating the presence of intense anger due to moral principles.
Tradition is my mentor
Declaring a strong adherence to tradition as a guiding influence.
Convention my tool
Highlighting conventionality as a means of navigating life.
Don't care much for the future
Expressing a lack of concern for future developments or changes.
I'm just plain old school
Affirming a commitment to a straightforward and traditional mindset.
I'm just plain old school
Reiterating the identification with a traditional and uncomplicated approach.
