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 Burn away Burn away
Now it's fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle From homemade beats, selling tee's, Running wild Just hope I don't lose my head 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 Burn away Burn away We're at a run right now Before we were at a steady jog I'm trying to hang on to whatever I can find 'Cause 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 Burn away Burn away
