Old School
Old School
By joeysguy
I remember lessons from the old school
It was a code an unwritten rule
As a male I would get to my feet
To give the elderly or a woman the seat
When taking a girl out for a day
As the guy I would always pay
Music was understood and had meaning
A lot of songs today sounds like screaming
Entertainers wore costumes or dressed in clothes
Today so much body they expose
You didn’t always have to lock doors
No fences had to protect stores
As a young kid I played outside
Strangers didn’t bother us, we didn’t have to hide
We would hangout till late hours of night
When older we hung out even till daylight
Women could sit outside late and talk
It was safe to take a late night walk
Any time was safe to go stroll in the park
Try doing that now in the dark
People now wear pants down almost to the knees
It’s ugly, pick them up please
What happened to those good old days
Time passes and kids go through a craze
