What We Used to Be

'Febreze' my city, to hide the decay,
Of what it once was before it passed away.
We're living in a shadow of what we used to be

I went to Detroit, nobody was home,
Just a whole lotta rust where there used to be chrome.
We're living in a shadow of what we used to be

A hexagon case with an octagon top,
Atlanta won't use a Memphis barber shop
We're living in a shadow of what we used to be

Let's put all these crooks in jail,
I don't care if they're too big to fail.
Blinded by opinions on the news,
You gamble with these conmen you'll always lose.

Let's clean up these 'bandos', and find some buyers,
And fix these roads before they wreck my tires,
We're living in a shadow of what we used to be

**(Solo)**

I guess our focus is all out of whack,
The structure is flawed when the foundations cracked.
We're living in a shadow of what we used to be

But don't worry, I'll give you some hope,
All we need is direction and a whole lotta soap.
Then we can get back to what we used to be,
(i said) We can get back, to what we used to be.
Now we can get back, to what we, used to be.
(We gonna be just fine y'all)
