Kids, man, they just ain't the way they used to be when we was comin' up, man These lil' motherfuckers don't even wanna go outside They stay in the house I don't give a f*ck how broke you are You could be on food stamps, you got a Sega Genesis at the house Damn, was it that long ago? Thought it was, bro Man, I used to run down on a chick Introduce myself, she'd give me her name I'd pull out a pen Write her number down on a piece of paper Woo We used to actually interact with each other back then Word Damn screens Kids don't come upstairs with grass stains on they jeans No playin' tag at night, no more sundown freeze No more fallin' off they bike, peroxide on knees Jeez, I ain't seen a Double Dutch in years What happened to skelly, no more tops hitting squares? I used to front flip off of the fence, back flip off the swing Somebody dared, you had to do it to be playground king Walked across monkey bars, rubber mat so far Somethin' crazy drove by, screamed, "That's my car!" Threw rocks up on the roof, they couldn't match my arm And manhunt lasted long, we couldn't catch Daquan, shit Red quarter water, ask your man to have a sip Pack of Now & Laters and a quarter bag of chips Never would I ever thought a game of catch a kiss'll be Somethin' that these kids would have to miss, imagine this Phone screen, tablet screen, computer screen Eighty-inch TV screen, I never seen So many ways to look away from the world These screens raisin' ya sons, babysittin' your girls So many screens Everyone say hi, you're on a screen I used to wanna go out in the rain Moms would say no so I complained near the window pane She always gave in to that look on my face Those days I got chased, cops and robbers in the staircase Where they at, in the front or the back? It was quiet, and then "pap" 'til you run out of caps Every basketball court in the summer was packed Every winter was tackle football, don't fumble the snap Now every time I look, another app, man, what's up with that? It's like every single day involves a double-tap Used to beg moms, "Can my boys have some fun with me?" Off the top rope was the dresser, WWE Now my son wear headsets, runnin' through the trees Playin' Call of Duty, guess that's what they callin' company Was known everywhere, couldn't front on my team These kids don't go anywhere, man,they front of them screens Phone screen, tablet screen, computer screen Eighty-inch TV screen, I never seen So many ways to look away from the world These screens raisin' ya sons, babysittin' your girls So many screens Everyone say hi, you're on a screen Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch a piggy by the toe If it hollers, let him go Eeny, meeny, miny, moe You it! Haha, damn I can still see those days clear as hell in my head
