Those Wur De Dayz

You know, I-I-I-I-I, uh, I

[Verse 1]
I remember it was so cool back then
Having fun and just being a kid
Walking down to the corner store
Buying [?] candy with ten-cent pop bottles
Back then children were seen and not heard
Nowadays they gotta get the last word
Those were the days
Those were the days when
Something was made out of nothing
Those were the days when
We appreciated all that money could not bring
Such as your momma's love
Such as your poppa's love
Such as your grandmama's hugs

[Chorus]
Old times, I wish that we could go back
To the way we used to be
Oh some times, I wish that we could go back
To the way, to the way we used to be

[Verse 2]
Momma worked so hard to make ends meet
Making sure I had shoes on my feet
Wonder how she did it on her own
Only seventeen, she wasn't even grown
Now that I'm older I can see
The foundation that she laid for me
Oh, these memories of the past
To this very day we still laugh
She taught me how to use my imagination
For all that money couldn't compensate for
Making doll houses out of cardboard boxes
And we made 'em fly
Taught every day was a [?]
Always making time to show them love
And for this, I'm so grateful

[Chorus]
Old times, I wish that we could go back
To the way we used to be
Oh some times, I wish that we could go back
To the way, to the way we used to be

[Bridge]
Even though I've seen hard days
I wouldn't trade it no, not for nothing
I wonder how I made it
I know the creator had to be watching over me
Sometimes we see darkness
Before we see brighter days
That's why I often, sometimes, wish that we

[Chorus]
Old times, I wish that we could go back
To the way we used to be
Oh some times, I wish that we could go back
To the way, to the way we used to be
Old times (I remember when)
I wish (Walking down the street)
That we could go back (To the corner store)
To the way we used to be (Trynna sneak and buy cigarettes)
Oh some times, I wish that we could go back
To the way (To the way), to the way we used to be (We used to be, yeah-yeah)
