Crossing Over（版本 2）

Verse

Neon dripping off the streetlamp wire

Block still quiet, smoke and tire fire

Corner store open past my bedtime

Streetlight buzzing like a dying heart

I was running from where I'd start

But tonight there's no room for shame

Every shadow got an older name

And every name got its own way

I'm not scared of the dark at all

It's just a map to get back home

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it moving underneath us now?

Something in the ground that knows how

Something old, something new, and I don't care

If crossing over means letting go of what we were

Chorus

We crossing over, we rising through

Every chain's a rope and every wall is broke through

Nothing left to lose but our own names

We standing up like smoke turns flame

Verse 2

Mama always said the light would find us first

But I never knew what that kind of light looked like

Now I see it in a thousand broken lights

Every block got its own rising tide

Kids holding candles like lanterns low

Street signs rusted, but we know where we go

No police car tonight, just our own heartbeat sound

We the only reason this whole block stays warm

Somebody turn on a porch light and let us climb

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it moving underneath us now?

Something in the ground that knows how

Something old, something new, and I don't care

If crossing over means letting go of what we were

Chorus

We crossing over, we rising through

Every chain's a rope and every wall is broke through

Nothing left to lose but our own names

We standing up like smoke turns flame

Bridge

This ain't some story told by the ones with power

This is ours — written in blood and hour

If this block go down before the sun does

At least we rose up as one, still moving

Chorus

We crossing over, we rising through

Every chain's a rope and every wall is broke through

Nothing left to lose but our own names

We standing up like smoke turns flame
