Verse 1
Em
[Verse 1]
Reminiscin' back
C
when I was only a child
Bm
Back in the days of livin'
C
carefree lifestyles
Em
As long as we wasn't caught,
C
bein' bad was cool
Bm
and we were never at a loss
C
for something to get into
Em
Children in the neighbourhood,
C
down at the park
Bm
Sunny days when we played
C
at the old schoolyard
Em
where kickin' it live was
C
a familiar scene
Bm
G
C
Kenny M. and Big Gene know what I mean
Am
F
But nowadays it seems life
just ain't the same
Em
Everybody's involved
in the game or a gang
F
Am
F
and when we die,
it seem like nobody cares
Em
It ain't no love in they cold-
F
hearted stares
Thinkin' of payback, of makin' a hit
Em
Now Cowboys and Indians
F
become real- life shit
Am
F
and life means nothin'
Em
when the heart is cold
C
It ain't the same as the days of old.

C
[Verse 2]
Em
It's a unity thing,
C
much love for my people here
Bm
But what good is love if the people
C
don't really care?
Em
C
The triggers are cold at the O.K. Corral
Bm
C
but it ain't O.K. when my people live foul
Em
Another sad case
C
of the black- on- black
Bm
It's a fact, some of our people
C
don't know how to act
Em
Can't go to the club,
C
can't to the store
Bm
Can't chill with your girl,
C
can't go to the show
Am
F
Can't do anything without
some fool actin' up
Em
You start to believe that black
F
folk are savage but
before you do, allow me to say
Em
that in the old days we didn't act that way,
F
see
Kings and Queens were the names
Em
of the righteous
but the sons of slaves are insane
F
and we might just
self- destruct and erupt
Em
without a chance to grow
C
Em
This ain't the days of old.

Better wake up...
F
[Verse 3] So I say,
Verse 5
Em
what will it take
C
before we change up?
Bm
Some more of us dead,
C
or more of us locked up?
Em
Or maybe even more of us
C
will blame the white man
Bm
before we understand now the
C
problem's not him
Em
C
What I'm tellin' ya is actual fact
Bm
I'm ain't pro- human 'cause
C
all humans ain't pro- black
Em
C
Remember in your mind
that there still exists
Bm
C
a plan to bring down a black fist
Am
F
See the struggle is up hill,
Em
life's at a standstill
Jack popped Jill now
F
he don't act real
And every livin' moment
got her singin' the blues
Em
Her sole provider can't af
F
ford the baby's shoes
That's the cycle so many
Em
of us go through
America's black holocaust
F
continues
and I just hope we wake
Em
up soon before we fold
