times (feat. Sid Sriram & Nas)

There were times
My soul felt broken
And there were times
My faith was shaken
Someway, somehow
We made it
Loved ones all around
Say it's just the beginning (hey)

Staring at the rain real hard, praying for a hint of the summer
Feeling all the pain real hard, moving with a chip on my shoulder
Looking at the hate in the world, feeling lost in the world weighing me down
Reaching for a light too far, feeling like I was gonna drown

Oh, there were times
My soul felt broken
And there were times
My faith was shaken
Someway, somehow
We made it
Loved ones all around (Nas)
Say it's just the beginning (yeah)

They say it's just the beginning
No longer guilt ridden by the silk and linen
Never condemn it, never condescending
Before you hear something, this dope again and people love it
You'll see the pope on the beach in Nantucket play the trumpet
Somehow, someway, we made it out the filth and garbage
Where people kill for nonsense, world of sin, we need to be born again
From the problems of harlequins and the charlatans
Tryna stick their thorns in them, but they can't kill the confidence
This ain't religious, but yo, I see the crescent
See the illuminating cross in the sky in the distance
Or maybe it's just the clouds, how they shaping my vision
Telling me: Never play down, my true existence
Forget what you know, just take a leap
No matter how high up you are, or how deep
Or what height it is, be the mightiest
We been in a tight spot, fight to live

Oh, there were times
My soul felt broken
And there were times
My faith was shaken
Someway, somehow
We made it
Loved ones all around
Say it's just the beginning
They say it's just the beginning

Kan thiranthaene, thiranthaene, na-a
Kan thiranthaene, thiranthaene, ayy, ah-ooh

Oh, there were times (there were times)
My soul felt broken (my soul was broken)
And there were times (there were times)
My faith was shaken (shaken)
Someway, somehow (ye, somehow)
We made it (woo-ooh)
Loved ones all around (loved ones all around)
Say it's just the beginning
They say it's just the beginning

Beginning (beginning)
They say
(There were times)
