Kids these Dayz
[Verse 1] Yo, I’m lookin’ at the street and it’s quiet as a grave Everybody’s inside, lookin’ like a digital slave Glued to the pixels, thumb on the joystick Back in my day, we was makin’ a choice, kid Out the door at seven, sun hittin’ the chrome If the street lights weren’t on, you didn’t come home We was wheelie-poppin’ Schwinns, skinnin’ knees on the grit Now you cryin’ 'cause the WiFi dropped for a bit? Man, you soft as a marshmallow, laggin’ in the brain I was out in the thunder, I was runnin’ in the rain You’re "leveling up" but you’re stuck in a chair I was out in the woods breathin’ oxygen air! [Chorus] Back in my day, we was built different, tough The concrete was hard and the playground was rough Now you’re stuck on a screen, livin’ life in a game But you step outside and you’re lookin’ real tame Yeah, the times have changed, but the spirit is weak You’re lookin’ for a cheat code, I’m at the peak! [Verse 2] Let’s talk about the grades, let’s talk about the belt Parent-teacher night? Yeah, the pressure was felt You bring home a C? Better run, better hide ‘Cause "gentle parenting" wasn't even a guide Do good in school or get your ass beat red No "mental health day," get your books out instead You’re offended by a comment? You’re triggered by a post? I was dodgin’ flying sandals, kid—I’m the ghost Of a generation raised on the discipline grind You got a headset on, losin’ your mind I had a backpack, a map, and a crew of real friends You got a "Squad" in a lobby where the fake world ends! [Bridge] (Beat strips back to just the kick and snare) Put the controller down. Look at your palms—no calluses. Look at your shoes—no mud. You’re playin’ a soldier, but you’re scared of a bug. Wake up. [Verse 3] Thirteen years old, actin’ like you’re a king But you can’t fix a chain or a broken swing Staying out all night, hidin’ out in the park We didn’t need a flashlight to see in the dark We had grit, we had heart, we had scars on our shins You’re just collectin’ skins for a digital win Go ride a bike! Go skin a knee! Go see what it’s like to actually be free! But you won't, 'cause you're scared of the sun and the breeze Back in my day, we brought the world to its knees! [Outro] 140 BPM. Heart rate. That’s what real life feels like. Go outside. Delete the app. Turn off the console. (Beat cuts out abruptly) ...Before I come in there and do it for you. Class dismissed.
