My How Thing's Have Changed........

When I was growing up children dressed like children
Talked like children,
they even spoke like children,
Now the average 12 year old looks 18

When I was growing up,
Children were seen and not heard,
When grown folks were talking,
They did as they were told or they got knocked out.
You were told to do something once
The next time your momma went upside your head.
Now children tell the parents what to do,
Children tell the parents what they not gonna do
and most of them are under the age of 6.
Some think it's cute
I say it's in need of a good old fashion get me a switch off the tree behind whuppin

When U was growing up,
You worked for what you wanted
Now it is given without the lesson "hard work pays off"

When I was growing up,
We ate what we were given and was glad to get it,
We wore what we had,and was glad we had something,
We were able to be children,run and play,but be inside before
the street lights came on.
We either had a curl or a perm,
We wore braids,a ponytail,finger waves(scrunchies)or a bob
We wore stockings with dresses.

Now they wear wigs that are too grown,weaves that are too long,
Hooker heels to school
And club gear to a job interview and they can't figure out why they dont get the job.
