"I come from the era where you're grateful for what you have and don't Complain,
And where you kept that smile on your face when deep inside you were dealing with that heavy Pain,
I don't know where it went wrong, but somewhere down the line things got Twisted,
I really wish that bearing down on someone when they're trying to go up in life never Existed,
Call me what you want, but I don't mind having that label of being old Fashioned,
Can never forget about those days when we had to stretch that little food out we have for the month and keep it evenly Rationed,
Every time I think about the past, a lot of thoughts come to my Head,
Like when I was laying down crying wishing that my dad was free from those shackles in my Bed,
Don't care about all of those fancy things that are so pricey and Expensive,
Been through hell at times so don't mind me if I start to get Defensive,
Through these lines I make so much noise but I don't even make a Sound,
Balanced and leveled is something I will always be and I will never leave that humble Ground ..."
