Back in the old days
America
America
We used to play in the
front yard and you will
Safe and did not worry
About get shot at or
Get arrested because
Of your skin color
America
Where is was free to
Be you and people
respect others and
Was kind to other
And help others out
When they need help
And respect our elders
And say thank you and
You welcome it say
Sometimes but not a lot
Like it was used to be
I wish we can go back to
America like it was in the
Old days but America is
Not the some as it was in
the old days
America
