    Verse 1
    [Verse 
    1] 

    Reminiscin' back 

    when I was 
    only 
    a child 

    Back 
    in 
    the 
    days 
    of livin' 

    carefree 
    lifestyles 

    As long 
    as 
    we wasn't 
    caught, 

    bein' 
    bad 
    was cool 

    and we were 
    never 
    at 
    a loss 

    for something 
    to 
    get 
    into 

    Chil
    dren 
    in the 
    neighbourhood, 

    down 
    at the park 

    Sunny 
    days 
    when we played 

    at the old 
    schoolyard 

    where 
    kick
    in' 
    it live 
    was 

    a fa
    miliar 
    scene 

    Kenny 
    M. and 
    Big 
    Gene 
    know what 
    I mean 

    But 
    nowadays 
    it seem
    s life 

    just 
    ain't the same 

    Everybody's 
    involved 

    in the game 
    or a gang 

    and 
    when 
    we die, 

    it seem 
    like nobody 
    cares 

    It ain't 
    no love 
    in they cold- 

    hearted 
    stares 

    Thinkin' 
    of 
    payback, of 
    makin' 
    a hit 

    Now 
    Cowboys 
    and 
    Indians 

    become 
    real- 
    life 
    shit 

    and 
    life 
    means 
    nothin' 

    when 
    the heart 
    is cold 

    It 
    ain't the 
    same 
    as the 
    days 
    of old. 



    Yeah...it ain't the 
    same 
    as the 
    days 
    of old. 


    Verse 2


    [Verse 2] 

    It's a 
    unity 
    thing, 

    much 
    love 
    for 
    my people 
    here 

    But 
    what good 
    is 
    love 
    if the people 

    don't 
    really 
    care? 

    The 
    triggers 
    are cold 
    at the 
    O.K. 
    Corral 

    but 
    it 
    ain't 
    O.K. 
    when 
    my people 
    live 
    foul 

    An
    other 
    sad 
    case 

    of the black
    on- black 

    It's 
    a fact, 
    some 
    of 
    our people 

    don't know 
    how 
    to act 

    Can't 
    go to 
    the club, 

    can't 
    to the store 

    Can't 
    chill with 
    your girl, 

    can't 
    go to 
    the show 

    Can't 
    do 
    anything 
    without 

    some 
    fool 
    actin' 
    up 

    You 
    start 
    to believe 
    that 
    black 

    folk 
    are sav
    age 
    but 

    before 
    you do, 
    allow 
    me 
    to say 

    that 
    in 
    the old 
    days 
    we didn't 
    act that 
    way, 

    see 

    Kings 
    and Queens 
    were the names 

    of the right
    eous 

    but the 
    sons 
    of slaves 
    are insane 

    and we might 
    just 

    self- 
    destruct 
    and erupt 

    without 
    chance 
    to grow 

    This 
    ain't the 
    days 
    of old. 


    Verse 3

    Damn...this ain't the 
    days 
    of old. 


    don't 

    know...c'mon. 

    Verse 4
    [Sound bite 
    of 
    George 
    Bush] 

    There is no 
    match 
    for 
    a united 
    Amer

    ica...a determined 
    America...an 

    angry 
    Amer
    ica...our outrage 
    again

    st 
    the ploy 
    unites 
    us, 
    brings 
    us 

    together 
    behind 
    this 
    one 
    plan 
    of 
    action 

    - an assault 
    on 
    every 
    front. 

    Better 
    wake 
    up... 

    [Verse 3] 
    So I say, 
    Verse 5

    what 
    will it 
    take 

    before we 
    change 
    up? 

    Some 
    more 
    of us dead, 

    or 
    more of 
    us locked 
    up? 

    Or 
    maybe 
    even 
    more 
    of us 

    will 
    blame 
    the white 
    man 

    be
    fore we 
    understand 
    now the 

    problem's 
    not 
    him 

    What 
    I'm tellin' 
    ya 
    is 
    actual 
    fact 

    I'm 
    ain't pro- 
    human 
    'cause 

    all 
    hu
    mans 
    ain't pro- 
    black 

    Re
    member 
    in your 
    mind 

    that there 
    still 
    exists 

    plan 
    to bring 
    down 
    a black 
    fist 

    See the 
    struggle 
    is 
    up
    hill, 

    life's 
    at a stand
    still 

    Jack 
    popped 
    Jill 
    now 

    he don't 
    act real 

    And every 
    livin' 
    moment 

    got her 
    singin' 
    the blues 

    Her 
    sole 
    provider 
    can't 
    af

    ford 
    the baby's 
    shoes 

    That's 
    the cycle 
    so many 

    of us go 
    through 

    America's 
    black 
    holocaust 

    continues 

    and I just 
    hope 
    we 
    wake 

    up soon 
    be
    fore 
    we fold 

    miss the 
    days 
    of 
    old. 



    Damn...I miss the 
    days 
    of old. 

    Outro 1


    Listen...it ain't the 
    same 
    as the 
    days 
    of old.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
