(It aint the same no mo
cause it ain't the same no mo
It ain't the same no mo
No it ain't the same)
Back in the day, we were the kids in trouble, home-sliced, school skipping
Me and my brother, breakdancin' duels, dirt clod fightin' fools
Like two dogs scrappin' over the bone, we were fightin' over the telephone
Now we don't take calls...
Used to climbs the walls, juiced up on kool-aid, caffiene
Running wild, and pumpin' through our veins
It just ain't the same, it just ain't the same
It ain't like it used to be
It ain't like it used to be around here no mo'
If I didn't have my memories
I'd be so broke down po'
It ain't like it used to be around here no mo'
(It aint the same no mo
Cause it ain't the same no mo
It ain't the same no mo
No it ain't the same)
Once upon a one, two, three
Music was a mystery
When I was young it fascinated me
I didn't know how to play back in the day
Headphones, had my Silvertone
Tuned to open E
Reel-to-reel rollin'
Hey Bo Diddley flowing
This is all I ever wanted to do
Now here I am, 32, I got it goin' on
Gonna continue, got it good, knock on wood
I can't complain, but thinkin' back on the old days
It just ain't the same, it just ain't the same
It ain't like it used to be
It ain't like it used to be
It ain't like it used to be around here no mo, no mo
(It aint the same no mo
Cause it ain't the same no mo
It ain't the same no mo
No it ain't the same)
Big city used to be a forest long gone
Progress went wrong
Should've let it alone, blood bath, buffalo bones
America is bloody, the white man was wrong
America is bloody, the white man was wrong
Indian, African, man, it ain't nothin' but some skin
The Mississippi delta was a jungle before the white man came
It just ain't the same
It ain't like it used to be
It ain't like it used to be
It ain't like it used to be around here no mo'
(It aint the same no mo
Cause it ain't the same no mo
It ain't the same no mo
No it ain't the same)
