Sweet Bye and Bye

Well, drip the juice turn off your Sunday suits Fried chicken crackling Rerun, what's happening Brothers givin dap again  ain't no O'Jay whistlin back stabbin-in Bill Cosby found a friend again Fat Albert  workin off pork rinds and gubment cheese sinners gettin on knees  Faith returned Heaven turned warm Just a little sumthin sumthin remindin us how a man's actions added volume to his words Kids were seen not heard and grandma kept couches wrapped in Saran wrap. I'd give a limb to see a kid climb a tree again. Sweet bye and bye days gone by. Grab a palm leaf and wave it on Sunday We live in a world with so many discrepancies God has abandoned Sunday and puts in work Monday through Saturday. Cotton field work ethic and a King's mentality We need to overcome One mo gen. I'd rather see the human race win than watch another Superbowl commercial Facts of life that feel like lies. A Mason jar, Fireflies and a dad changing diapers were such good times
