Lyrics

Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
From far and wide
They look and see we stumble
Our lives won't hide this
Let them treasure, humble
Them feathers waving
Still, our blood pours
But needless steps
That seem to fade as fast as they were slain
In fame, darkness paves the way
For holds true, save our sanity, our skin can never change
No shame, not as long as we're together
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
From far and wide
They look and see more trouble
In search of equality, harmony, lots of peace
Now you in limbo
It's lots to see, lots of re-privacy, property
How I need kin folk
A pulse to my credit, the bank full of blessings, they gather all info
But that ain't the rhetoric
And that ain't irrelevant
Connected in power, but self-destructin', baby
That ain't intelligent
I looked at that, rolled it down, rolled it down
Learned about it, then I found it was all edited
I just called my mama
He told her that life is as dead as she said it is
She said, "Boy, y'all bet it is"
Things fall apart, it's a part of your life
(Time to shine, I'm goin' up, time to shine)
Depends on the user whose father was right
And you might get used to the struggle, that's life
They come back together, the truth come to light
(I'm goin' up, time to shine, I'm goin' up, time to shine)
Don't be scared to hustle, don't be scared to fight
'Cause when it go down, you be payin' the price
Things fall apart, it's a part of your life
They come back together, let's get this right
Gotta get right, uh!
(I'm goin' up)
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
From far and wide
They look and see, we stumble
Our lives won't hide this
Let them treasure, humble
Them feathers waving
Still, our blood pours
But needless steps
That seem to fade as fast as they were slain
In fame, darkness paves the way
Holds true, save our sanity, our skin can never change
No shame, not as long as we're together
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
From far and wide
They look and see more trouble
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they tumble
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
Piece by piece, things
Fall apart, they crumble
