See I done been discriminated against
Talked about by my friends
Played a fool by women
And had a daddy with no feelings
I lived in ghettos with my momma
Used the stove to heat our water
And had to share clothes with my brothers
Three of us one bed one cover oh
[Chorus]
And those were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough it ain't right
Street lights are coming on
Better get home, better get home
Those were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough it ain't right
While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves
You're still Superman to me
See I done been mistreated and discouraged
Felt like I was worthless
Lonely scared and nervous
In a world without no purpose
Cried out to God I didn't deserve this
But he said in time I would
See it's the bad times that make the good times feel so good
[Chorus]
