Description
[Intro – Soft Pads + Ad-libs]
Mmm-hmm… yeah…
(Zone 3 forever…)
Carver Homes raised me…
(Yeah… ayy…)
Those was the days…
[Verse 1]
I’m from Carver Home, Zone 3,
Where your neighbors was your aunties,
Everybody lived on one street—
(One street!)
If you needed somethin’, they had me.
Walkin’ to Mr. White house on that corner,
Quarter in my hand, candy in my dreams,
Back when .25 felt like a fortune—
(Ha! You know…)
Life was simple, life was sweet.
In that back field where we played,
We found bones in that Georgia clay.
Daddy said, “Girl, don’t touch that,”
(“Uh-uh, leave that be.”)
Like he knew spirits walked that place.
But we kept runnin’, bare feet in red dirt,
Laughin’ like life couldn’t hurt—
(Yessir…)
Yeah… those was the days…
[Hook – With Light Ad-libs]
Those was the days…
(For real…)
When everybody lived, and the world felt safe.
Those was the days…
(Yeah, yeah…)
We ain’t have much, but we had that grace.
Those was the days…
(Grandma’s hand…)
Holdin’ my hand through every space.
Those was the days… those was the days…
[Rap Verse – Stronger, Woman’s Voice, Hood Elegance]
Ayy, look—
Carver Homes taught me loyalty deep,
We ain’t have riches but we still ate and still kept receipts.
Cousins on the porch, lil’ fights in the street,
But touch one of us? The whole block gon’ meet.
(What? Yeah…)
I’m talkin’ Green Boys, yeah they held it down,
(Shout out!)
And big Jack kept the whole hood proud.
(Real one!)
Carver Home Legends, we remember y’all names—
Without that village, I wouldn’t be the woman I became.
(Tell ’em!)
We survived it, thrived it, walked through the pain,
Still shine like sun hittin’ fresh red clay.
Zone 3 heartbeat still pump in my veins—
Ain’t nothin’ like them old school days.
(Ayy… Zone 3 forever…)
[Verse 2]
I remember catchin’ MARTA downtown,
Me and Grandma ridin’ seat to seat.
Headed to the farmer’s market,
Where the air smelled like peaches and heat.
She held my hand so tight in the crowd,
Like she was protectin’ more than a child.
Her touch was prayer, her eyes were wisdom—
Walkin’ next to her always felt like freedom.
[Hook – Full Chorus w/ Ad-libs]
Those was the days…
(Those was the days, yeah…)
When everybody lived, and the world felt safe.
Those was the days…
(A better time…)
We ain’t have much, but we had that grace.
Those was the days…
(Grandma’s love…)
Holdin’ my hand through every space.
Those was the days… those was the days…
[Bridge]
Take me back to them red dirt roads,
Stories told on porches old.
Laughin’ ’bout nothin’ ’til the sun went low—
Life was heavy but it felt like gold.
[Outro – Warm Fade]
(Zone 3…)
Carver Homes made me…
That village saved me…
Those was the days…
Those was the days…
