(Verse 1) | |
Reminiscin' back when I was only a child | |
Back in the days of livin' carefree lifestyles | |
As long as we wasn't caught, bein' bad was cool | |
and we were never at a loss for something to get into | |
Children in the neighbourhood, down at the park | |
Sunny days when we played at the old schoolyard | |
where kickin' it live was a familiar scene | |
Kenny M. and Big Gene know what I mean | |
But nowadays it seems life just ain't the same | |
Everybody's involved in the game or a gang | |
and when we die, it seem like nobody cares | |
It ain't no love in they cold-hearted stares | |
Thinkin' of payback, of makin' a hit | |
Now Cowboys and Indians become real-life shit | |
and life means nothin' when the heart is cold | |
It ain't the same as the days of old. | |
Yeah...it ain't the same as the days of old. | |
(Verse 2) | |
It's a unity thing, much love for my people here | |
But what good is love if the people don't really care? | |
The triggers are cold at the O.K. Corral | |
but it ain't O.K. when my people live foul | |
Another sad case of the black-on-black | |
It's a fact, some of our people don't know how to act | |
Can't go to the club, can't to the store | |
Can't chill with your girl, can't go to the show | |
Can't do anything without some fool actin' up | |
You start to believe that black folk are savage but | |
before you do, allow me to say | |
that in the old days we didn't act that way, see | |
Kings and Queens were the names of the righteous | |
but the sons of slaves are insane and we might just | |
self-destruct and erupt without a chance to grow | |
This ain't the days of old. | |
Damn...this ain't the days of old. | |
I don't know...c'mon. | |
(Sound bite of George Bush) | |
There is no match for a united America...a determined America...an | |
angry America...our outrage against the ploy unites us, brings us | |
together behind this one plan of action - an assault on every front. | |
Better wake up... | |
(Verse 3) | |
So I say, what will it take before we change up? | |
Some more of us dead, or more of us locked up? | |
Or maybe even more of us will blame the white man | |
before we understand now the problem's not him | |
What I'm tellin' ya is actual fact | |
I'm ain't pro-human cuz all humans ain't pro-black | |
Remember in your mind that there still exists | |
a plan to bring down a black fist | |
See the struggle is uphill, life's at a standstill | |
Jack popped Jill now he don't act real | |
And every livin' moment got her singin' the blues | |
Her sole provider can't afford the baby's shoes | |
That's the cycle so many of us go through | |
America's black holocaust continues | |
and I just hope we wake up soon before we fold | |
I miss the days of old. | |
Damn...I miss the days of old. | |
Listen...it ain't the same as the days of old. |
