Lyrics

Ooh-ooh
Mmm, yeah, ooh-ooh
These times got my head wide open
(Mmm)
These times got my heart still hopin'
(Yeah)
Scrollin' through the headlines, same old mess
Everybody talkin' like they know what's best
Bills on the table, rent comin' late
Still, I find a little joy in the wait
(Yeah)
Mama in the kitchen, laughin' at the news
Sayin', "Baby, don't you let it take you too"
Sun on the balcony, feet on the rail
Sippin' somethin' sweet, tellin' my own tale
These times, these times, they won't break me
(Break me)
I bend, I sway, but I stay free
(Free)
Laugh through the stress, dance through the cryin'
I'm livin' through the madness, yeah, I'm still risin'
These times, these times, they don't own me
I choose my truth, they can't control me
Storm in my chest, but I'm still shinin'
Right here in these times, I'm still risin'
Oh, yeah
You better love it
Ooh-ooh
Friends on the corner, speakin' in code
Dreams in their pocket, heavy like gold
Laughin' at the chaos, playin' old games
Turnin' little streetlights into our stage
Got a little side hustle, late-night grind
Paintin' on my sneakers, patterns in my mind
Every small victory, I'll write it down
Turn another bad day into my crown
These times, these times, they won't break me
(Break me)
I bend, I sway, but I stay free
(Free)
Laugh through the stress, dance through the cryin'
I'm livin' through the madness, yeah, I'm still risin'
These times, these times, they don't own me
I choose my truth, they can't control me
Storm in my chest, but I'm still shinin'
Right here in these times, I'm still risin'
Oh, yeah
Oh, keep your heart up
These times test me, these times bless me
Same coin, two sides, still I move steady
If the world feel heavy, lean on my rhyme
We gon' find light right in these times
