Lyrics
0:17The scent of momentum fills the city air
0:21Hear the heart beat it's alive and draws you in
0:26Things will never be the same
0:34Thought I'd been here but never here times before
0:38Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more
0:43But I'm not in the same space
0:49Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
0:56Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
1:04As the city burns as the city burns
1:13Ooh as the city burns
1:21Ooh as the city burns
1:29Ooh as the city burns
1:38Burns away
1:41Burns away
1:46Now it's fancy ladies pricey wiles and argyle
1:50From homemade beats selling tee's and running wild
1:55Just hope I don't lose my head
2:03And now I'm thinking on a dream that my sister had
2:07Back then I was too young to see it wasn't bad
2:12So thanks chick by the way
2:18Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
2:25Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
2:34As the city burns as the city burns
2:42Ooh as the city burns
2:50Ooh as the city burns
2:58Ooh as the city burns
3:07Burns away
3:09Burns away
3:16We're at a run right now
3:20Before we were at a steady jog
3:24And I'm trying to hang on to whatever I can find
3:31Because what do you do when it's spinning so fast
3:36How do you stand with the world on your back
3:41I'm hardly the woman I once was search
3:49For the ground underneath my feet
3:56As the city burns as the city burns
4:03Ooh as the city burns
4:11Ooh as the city burns
4:19Ooh
4:28Burns away
4:31Burns away
The scent of momentum fills the city air Hear the heart beat it's alive and draws you in Things will never be the same Thought I'd been here but never here times before Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more But I'm not in the same space Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was Now I search for the ground underneath my feet As the city burns as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Burns away Burns away Now it's fancy ladies pricey wiles and argyle From homemade beats selling tee's and running wild Just hope I don't lose my head And now I'm thinking on a dream that my sister had Back then I was too young to see it wasn't bad So thanks chick by the way Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was Now I search for the ground underneath my feet As the city burns as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Burns away Burns away We're at a run right now Before we were at a steady jog And I'm trying to hang on to whatever I can find Because what do you do when it's spinning so fast How do you stand with the world on your back I'm hardly the woman I once was search For the ground underneath my feet As the city burns as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh as the city burns Ooh Burns away Burns away
