What Happened To Them Days

Ooh so bad, so bad

No respect

Yeah

What are we gonna do?

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

Now you can't get 'em up out they home

Let alone, come up out they room

Gears of War, Halo, Red Dead Redemption

XBox or Playstation

On the computer or sex texting

Man, it's a different generation

Ladies, how you expect a man to make you his missus (Missus)

When you can't even cook or wash the dishes? (Wash the dishes)

Treat your friends better than you treat your mama

The one who went through all the drama (Drama)

Disrespectful, hella rude (Hella rude)

Fucked up attitude (Attitude)

All you do is talk crazy and curse

But when you have yo kids, you gon' get it three times worse

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days?

When my parents gave me a certain look, I got nervous (I got nervous)

But nowadays, they'll call Child Protective Service

Get on their smart phone and cheat

Run and tell they teacher that they got beat

Their feelings get hurt too easy, can't wait to go to prison

They say they hearin' me, but they ain't listenin'

Accidentally spilled his drink on him in front of Bro the other day

Popped him with the K, 'cause his pride got in the way

Now I don't know what this world is comin' to

But they don't wanna fight no mo', they wanna shoot

Back door each others, sneak up on you like a pooch

Spray they face on their shirts and on the back of they suits

Ooh, what happened to them? (What happened to 'em?)

Them days is gone (They gone)

What happened to them? (What happened to 'em?)

Them days are gone (They gone)

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days?

I see more snow than an igloo, more blow than a tissue

Pain, hurt, and sorrow, my life is a novel

The neighborhood D-Boy was my role model

Wasn't breast fed, drunk out the jar, not the baby bottle

Spinning like Serato, on this Landy, not Moscato

Had to walk before I crawl, it's harder to get back up, man

It's easy to fall

My middle finger yellin' out, fuck all y'all (Fuck y'all)

Gotta stay prayed up, please believe it

Please cover me up with the blood of Jesus (Jesus)

My brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, and aunties (Nieces and aunties)

My parents, my mama and daddy, uncles, cousins, and all my loved ones (Loved ones)

Raised in the mud, in the pig pen

Had to be a hog and good with the hens

And even if you lost and you didn't win

The hood gon' respect you 'cause you fought like a man

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days? They gone

When we played outside till the porch light came on

What happened to them days? (What happened to 'em?)

What happened to them days?

No respect, no respect, ain't no respect

No respect, no respect, livin' in the worst of times

No respect, no respect, ain't no respect

No respect, no respect, what are we gonna do?

Ain't no respect

Oh yeah

Ain't no respect, oh
