Verse
Curtains open at six, streetlight flickers on
Five of us standing where the porch won't move yet to dawn
Dust hanging from the steps like static off a mic
We talking 'bout the block, nothing that's gonna go quiet
Every name I call in here got a story we know
Corner store runs out of milk and you just grab a two
I don't think my mother knows how to use this watch
Time is measured in hours it takes for the block to get caught up
We talking 'bout the neighborhood when the only sound
Is the hum of the compressor outside, keeping ice down
Pre-Chorus
Sooner than we want the sun's gonna start burning
But before then we got a lot left to learning
Chorus
Block still ringing with the rhythm that I know
Same five still standing in front of what used to be our home
Block still ringing, holding every note that we made
We ain't lost, we just moving the spot to another shade
Verse
Sofia's running down the sidewalk like she's got wings
Got a pack of Juicy Cheetos and a smile that brings
Marcus caught the bus at five so he can make it home
Tariq's holding open the door for everybody that's still walking alone
I'm thinking 'bout tomorrow but I don't think it's real
Pre-Chorus
Sooner than we want the sun's gonna start burning
But before then we got a lot left to learning
Chorus
Block still ringing with the rhythm that I know
Same five still standing in front of what used to be our home
Block still ringing, holding every note that we made
We ain't lost, we just moving the spot to another shade
Bridge
I don't want this feeling to ever fade away
I want these streets to keep on humming all day
Maybe it's the way the light comes through the blinds
But I feel like tomorrow is already mine
What if every night felt this full and real?
Chorus
Block still ringing with the rhythm that I know
Same five still standing in front of what used to be our home
Block still ringing, holding every note that we made
We ain't lost, we just moving the spot to another shade
