Old Soul,New Signal by VikingoVisions - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

Cracklin’ speakers to the cloud, you hear me?

Old soul… new signal

⸻

[Hook]

I was raised on vinyl, now I stream my wins

Payphone dreams, now I FaceTime ends

From cold-ass nights to the daylight bends

Same heart, new era, still play to win

Still play to win

Still play to win

Old rules taught me how to move in this

Same heart, new era, still play to win

⸻

[Verse 1]

I remember rewinds, pencil in the tape

Every bar had weight, no room for fake

Mama said patience, streets said wait

Learned to read faces before I read a plate

Late night radio, volume low

Tryna hear myself in the static glow

Every song felt like a code

If you listened close, it told you where to go

No Wi-Fi, just drive and think

Gas light flicker, hope in the blink

Now the world in my palm, don’t mean shit

If you don’t know who you are when the signal dips

⸻

[Hook]

I was raised on vinyl, now I stream my wins

Payphone dreams, now I FaceTime ends

From cold-ass nights to the daylight bends

Same heart, new era, still play to win

Still play to win

Still play to win

Old rules taught me how to move in this

Same heart, new era, still play to win

⸻

[Verse 2]

Used to chase respect, not a viral spin

Now the numbers loud but the silence thin

Seen clout come quick, seen it die again

I don’t flex for strangers, I provide for kin

Mixtape grind, hand to hand

Now playlists spin in foreign lands

Still keep it raw, still keep it planned

Can’t buy soul with a brand deal advance

They want trends, I want time

They want shine, I want mine

Legacy over the dotted line

I’m built off scars, not the highlight grind

⸻

[Bridge]

Don’t confuse noise for truth

Don’t confuse likes for proof

I was broke with faith and a pocket full of hope

Now I’m rich in lessons I refuse to lose

⸻

[Hook]

I was raised on vinyl, now I stream my wins

Payphone dreams, now I FaceTime ends

From cold-ass nights to the daylight bends

Same heart, new era, still play to win

Still play to win

Still play to win

Old rules taught me how to move in this

Same heart, new era, still play to win

⸻

[Verse 3]

I talk to my past like “we did it right”

You kept me hungry through them hungry nights

I ain’t erase you for a newer life

I brought you with me, that’s the truest flex

Kids don’t know about waiting on calls

Or staring at walls when the money stalled

But the hunger translate, that shit’s universal

Pressure make diamonds, or make you fold

I ain’t chasing eras, I’m bridging lanes

Old school soul with a different gain

If the world change fast, I remain the same

That’s how legends age without losing flame

⸻

[Outro]

Cracklin’ records, crystal screens

Same voice, new frequency

Respect the past, run the present

That’s the balance they never teach
