Shadows and stones
This place isn't ours anymore
I can't be alone
Oh, it all reminds me of our war
I try scrubbing it off when I'm in the shower
I stare at myself in the mirror for hours
I've held it all in and I can't go much longer
And it's time
It's time
Growing up in, in, in, in my hood
You know what I'm saying? I've lost a lot of people
And I can't let it go
This feeling I have won't settle
Won't stop raining, we're at sea level
And this pain is never gentle
It anchors me into the rubble
But I'm breathing fine
Oh, I'm breathing fine
And it's time
Time
And it's time
Time
Grieving the birth of a new day
That's not a great place
That's not a great place
So, it's time
