TIMES

[Intro] (Steel Banglez) [Chorus: Sri Sriram] 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) [Verse 1: Sri Sriram] 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 [Chorus: Sri Sriram & Nas] Oh, there were timеs My soul felt broken And therе 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 [Verse 2: Nas] 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 just 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 [Chorus: Sri Sriram] 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 [Bridge: Sri Sriram] Kan thiranthaene, thiranthaene, na-a Kan thiranthaene, thiranthaene, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, ah-ah, ooh [Chorus: Sri Sriram] 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 [Outro: Sri Sriram] Beginning (Beginning) They say (There were times)
