8000
When I went to sleep last night it was one year but when I woke up the New Year was here
So I got out of bed and went outside to see what's new this year
But everything was the same.
Guys sexing girls, girls getting mad at guys for sexing other girls and guys high fiving for sexing each other girls
That's when I realized a new year with all the same people doing the same stuff makes all things equal.
Sad but true…….. Today’s times are a good example of things gone wrong
Man, where have the old days gone?
The other day I heard a man on the radio say we live in a time where we dress up for the club but church is come as you are
And I had to take a minute and just sit back and think how true those words are.
Then we all want to judge one another and say we lending a helping hand
But we really just all leading each other to hell in a nice formation like a marching band.
God help us all we can't fix this on our own
Man, where have the old days gone?
I write these words in my spare time something like a hobby
Art in one of its oldest forms but I will never be recognized probably
Because we live in a time where if it's not shoot em’ up, sex or what the drug game got going on Your words have no value on a radio or microphone.
Tell me I'm wrong but numbers don't lie
And the record sales tell us what we the like based on what we buy.
The influence of music is far more crucial than we give it credit
It's the devils secret weapon; it says so in the bible if you've ever read it.
With music coming straight from the radio beside the devils throne
Man, where have the old days gone?
Love don't live here no more should be the slogan on every world map
Because love has been subbed out for the lust of whatever whoever got in they lap.
We try to use sex to make relationships but we don't ever stop to realize that the relationship actually makes the sex.
If you let love come before the sex it will always feel like it’s the best
Since it’s just as mental as it is physical you will easily forget about the rest
When you attach emotions to relationships the feel is surreal
And your relationship will be worth more than any amount you can win on let's make a deal.
But love is extinct and everyone's favorite line is I'm good on my own
Man, where have the old days gone?
Hate is at all-time high, people just waiting to kill
When I look at the death tolls I can't believe it’s real
Brothers killing each other
With no specifications on which color
Everybody dying.
Never thought we'd see the day where the kids are in caskets and the parents standing around crying
Young people dropping left and right
We lose a few every other night
And the old folks just watch and wonder what’s really going on.
Man, where have the old days gone
I smoke drink and sit back and wonder will things always be this way
Will we as a people ever see a better day?
I drop to my knees bow my head and pray
Because I know if we ever do Jesus is the only way I asked the lord where have the good times gone.
He laughed, patted my back and said son the good times don't even start until you get home
