Oh, it's so bad, so bad
No respect, yeah
What are we gonna do?
Uh, what happened to them days they gone?
When we played outside till the porch light came on
Now you can't get them 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 *** tech saying
Man, it's a different generation
Ladies, how you expect a man to make you his missus?
Well, you can't even tell me
You can't even cook or wash the dishes
Treat your friends better than you treat your mama
The one who went through all the drama
Disrespectful, hella rude
*** up attitude
All you do is talk crazy and curse
But when you had your 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 them days?
What happened to them days they gone?
When my parents gave me a certain look, I got nervous
But nowadays they'll call a child protective service
Get on their smartphone and cheat
Run and tell their 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 the broad the other day
Popped him with the cake cause his pride got in the way
Now I don't know what this world is comin' to
But I ain't listenin' to no one





But they don't wanna fight no more, they wanna shoot
Back know each other and sneak up on you like a pooch
Spray they face on they shirts and on the back of they suit
Ooh
What happened to them?
Them days they gone?
What happened to them?
Them days 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 them days?
What happened to them?
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 them days?
I done seen more snow than a 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 breastfed
Drunk out the jar, not the baby bottle, spinnin' like Serato
On this landing, not Moscato, had to walk before I crawled
It's harder to get back up, but it's easy to fall
My middle finger yellin' out, *** all y'all
Gotta stay prayed up, please believe me
Please cover me, God, with the blood of Jesus
My brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces and aunts
My parents, my momma and daddy, uncles, cousins
And all my loved ones
Raised in the mud, in the pig pen
Had to be a hog, and good with the hands
And even if you lost, and you didn't win
The hood gon' respect why, 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 them days?
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 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
Ain't no respect
