    Backstory:
    Thinking about growing up in my neighborhood.

    DO THE RIGHT THING Back in our old neighborhood Where we spent our youth We'd run around doing what kids have always done The future was a mystery Out in the distance somewhere All we wanted to do was play and have fun We tried to do the right thing Whether it was known or not That's how we were all raised Back then we never gave it a second thought But it wasn't always easy To take the straight and narrow road Or play by the rules with integrity There were many among us Who lived their lives that way Chose character over popularity CHORUS What happened to those good old days When we all helped each other And tried to live our lives With truth and honor CHORUS WE tried to do the right thing
