Good Old Days

Yo, do you remember a time before the craziness
You gotta remember y'all
When the world was wonderful and it was filled with bliss
Good times y'all, good times
Everybody was happy, everybody was free
Those were the times y'all, those were the times
Now when I walk around, all I see is misery
Such a shame y'all, such a shame

I've been reminiscin' about the past
Lookin' back at the good times we used to have
Where nobody was mad, we all had a good time
Not carin' about the shit that happened online
It was a time where everybody was chill as fuck
They didn't care about the bucks, they cared about the good stuff
They cared about givin' people opportunities
They gave you tools that you could use to grow and succeed
They respected each other as if their bond was strong
Now there's no respect, nobody knows where they belong
Everybody hates each other, no peace, no unity
We're all shackled to chains, we're never gonna be free
I don't know if it's in our nature or if we wanted this
We fell for bullshit, now it's like peace don't exist
We gotta bring back the good old days where it was all love
But all I see is destruction and all I can do is shrug

It seems like a long time, I miss the good old days
I wish that the good times would come back and stay
For I'm tired of the times filled with trife and hate
I know times are heavy, I know times ain't great
But from the ashes, a better future we will make
So we gotta take time to reformulate
We can't let them bring us down
There's no time to waste, we gotta act now

I miss the times when we weren't obsessed with the phone
Messin' with our domes, disturbin' our zones
I miss the times when violence wasn't the norm
Everybody is torn, a lot of people to mourn
I miss the times when people used their brains and think
Now we're at the brink, humanity at it's peak
Now I'm wonderin' how we gonna eventually die
Either from warfare or meteors that fall from the sky
You know the billionaires are in control
Why we keep givin' them power, I don't know
They could care less about us, they'd rather see us fight
Yet you'd disregard the truth to get your package tonight
There's a lot of people out there homeless on the streets
You know you can go broke buying groceries
You can't even afford Disney, the system is fucked
That's why I miss the good old days, because those days didn't suck

It seems like all y'all are ready to fight and I don't even know why
Everybody be cryin', everybody be dyin' and I don't even know why
So what it's going to take for us to bring the good old days back
I know y'all like to chill and relax
This beef shit is wack, that's a fact

It seems like a long time, I miss the good old days
I wish that the good times would come back and stay
For I'm tired of the times filled with trife and hate
I know times are heavy, I know times ain't great
But from the ashes, a better future we will make
So we gotta take time to reformulate
We can't let them bring us down
There's no time to waste, we gotta act now
It seems like a long time, I miss the good old days
I wish that the good times would come back and stay
For I'm tired of the times filled with trife and hate
I know times are heavy, I know times ain't great
But from the ashes, a better future we will make
So we gotta take time to reformulate
We can't let them bring us down
There's no time to waste, we gotta act now
