C G
This day and age, shit it's hard to tell who's who
A G
So many artists, every week you hear a new group
C G
Maybe it's me or possibly I got a screw loose
A G
A raisin short of two scoops but we don't do what you do (do, do)
[Verse 2: Mic Boyd]
C G
Now-now-now-nowadays when I turn on the radio (yeah)
A G
It's like they take the same old song and play it out (true)
C G
Might be your favorite now but hate it in a day or so
A G
Here today, gone tomorrow, that's how the saying goes
C G
The oldies were timeless and classic (that's right)
A G
Music now is models and actress (ah naw)
C G
Who we pay to ogle they asses (yeah)
A G
Never liked metal but still prefer it to plastic
[Chorus: Classified (Mic Boyd) - w/ ad libs]
C G
My dad says they don't make music like they use to
A G
(Oh no they don't, no they don't, no they don't)
C G
And my crew says they don't make beats like they use to
A G
(Oh no they don't, no they don't, no they don't)
C G
You know what I-I think? It's just the music that I'm use to
A G
(It's what I'm use to, it's what I'm use to)
C G A G
I need my headphones louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder,

Drum machines with touch screens, this must be the future
A G
One man band all recorded on computer
C G
Cubase, Cakewalk and Pro Tools users
A G
Filtered effects and overused Auto-Tuners
C
(If you can't hit the note), then hit a switch
G A G
Artists can't get the pitch and end up [Auto-Tune voice] "singing like this"
C G
Sounds like robots are takin our jobs
A G
While these same record labels keep on payin 'em off
[Verse 4: Classified]
C G
Now have you ever thought about the old records we were proud to play (yeah)
A G
And if you heard them for the first time nowadays? (yeah)
C G
Would we give the same props, same amount of praise? (nope)
A G
I highly doubt it eh, it'd probably sound out of date (yeah)
C G
Or maybe life nowadays kind of cloud our taste (yeah)
A G
And hearin old tracks takes us back around the way (woo)
C G
Yeah, still soundin great, off to outer space
A G
Without a trace, leavin eardrums bent out of shape
[Chorus]Same Pattern
