Lyrics

I don't know if home is in a place or in a time

Or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind

Maybe we don't know it until we leave it behind

Or maybe it's a moment, the moments that always shine


I walk through my city like an old ghost

Whole neighborhoods and memories I hold close

They've been erased, buffed, repaved, and bulldozed

But I carry in me everything that made it before

Still standing like the hope that comes after a war

Traumatized like, what was all that fighting for?

We lost lives, I didn't have time to mourn

I didn't know that these moments they would be so short

My home is with the people I've been writing this for

Without a place on the map to say it's ours anymore

From rented homes to suburban tombstones I roam

It's just echoes of my folks in the stories that's shown

I know the essence and the soul that they trying to clone

For every neighborhood block that we see get sold

These moments that made it, that we hold so sacred

Have always been about the people more than the places


I don't know if home is in a place or in a time

Or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind

Maybe we don't know it until we leave it behind

Or maybe it's a moment, the moments that always shine


I don't know if home is in a place or in a time

Or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind

Maybe we don't know it until we leave it behind

Or maybe it's a moment, the moments that always shine


My city is new, so I try to be too

Comb through the avenues like a tourist would do

It's still hard on my heart, I'm trying to soften some parts

Smile when I cross a familiar face at the park

I think life is in moments, we only get so few

I can't carry your weight, and still be able to move

So who am I to tell you you should share in my blues?

You never took a single day to try to walk in my shoes

And if you did it would break you, so just stay thankful

This is for the people that can claim what I've been through

I slept on a bus, when I couldn't make rent due

And came home to plates of injera and lentils

I was never alone, that was all in my mental

Lies that my pride said, I try to stay gentle

With me, and with you, all I know that is true

The best things in life always end too soon


I don't know if home is in a place or in a time

Or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind

Maybe we don't know it until we leave it behind

Or maybe it's a moment, the moments that always shine


I don't know if home is in a place or in a time

Or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind

Maybe we don't know it until we leave it behind

Or maybe it's a moment, the moments that always shine
