Old Code - Official Music Video Selby Todd x Apalachee Don

Old Code

Verse 1
(Selby Todd)
Saddles up his worries. Pain in his eyes.
Searching for the answers to the cold that lies inside.
He turns in all directions searching for the light.
His shadows lone reflection leads him through the night.

(Apalachee Don)
Im a Hard head. Backwood son of a gun
I stomp through the valley of the rising sun.
Raw when I spit like Grit up under my gums.
Poison in my veins . Venom in my tongue.
True to the code. Ready to lock and load.
Better check ya facts. I’m a big dawg.
Hangin in the holler. Baptized in the water.
Posted in the sticks where the law don’t bother.
Stand on my roots. I’m an an old school hustler.
Get it from the bottom. There’s a reason I don’t trust ya.
Down in the slums. Digging through the Swamplands.
Hustle off the muscle. It’s supply and demand.

Hook
Raised by that old code
Came up from the water
Cut teeth on a wishbone
Somebody shoulda told ya
Barefoot in a corn row
Stay off in a holler.
Been to the crossroads
It aint what they told ya

Verse 2
(Selby Todd)
His face is filled with stories of a poor man’s soul.
Hands completely calloused. Hardened to the bone.
He’s roaming through the country. That’s become home.
He rides the trail alone. That’s what has made him strong.

(Apalachee Don)
I’m a heavyweight. No. Literally Ima heavy weight.
Holding up the country. Ima bumpkin. With the beat bumpin.
Old soul. I was born in the code.
Call me Crème De la crème. Top of the totem pole.
A-Lister. Made a spot of my own.
Put a Queen in my corner. Right next to the king’s throne.
Strapped the kingdom on my back and carried it through the battlefield.
All for my people Ima finish the drill.
Standing in the blaze. Blowing amnesia haze.
Gotta an alligator mouth. Cut through ya like razor blades.
Certified product from them down south hills.
Dirt road prophet. The “Real Deal Holyfield.

Hook
Raised by that old code
Came up from the water
Cut teeth on a wishbone
Somebody shoulda told ya
Barefoot in a cornrow
Stay off in a holler.
Been to the crossroads
It aint what they told ya

Bridge

(Selby Todd)
When the goings gettin tough. You feel like giving in.
Keep your head above the floods. Put your back against the wind.
Remember where you’re from. Where you are today.
You were taught to never give up. Go on and find another way


Hook

(SelbyTodd)
Raised by the old code
Baptized in the waters
Been to the crossroads
Somebody shoulda told ya
Barefoot in them cornrows.
I stay off in a holler.
I done been to them crossroads,
And it ain’t what they told ya.
Somebody shoulda told ya.
