Back in the old days 
America 
America 
We used to play in the 
front yard and you will 
Safe and did not worry 
About get shot at or 
Get arrested because 
Of your skin color 
America 
Where is was free to 
Be you and people 
respect others and 
Was kind to other 
And help others out 
When they need help 
And respect our elders
And say thank you and 
You are welcome it say 
Sometimes but not a lot 
Like it was used to be 
I wish we can go back to 
America like it was is the 
Old days but America is 
Not the some as it was in 
Old days 
America
