LYRICS
I’ve been down to that river to pray
Trying to find revival, wash away all I say
Keeping all this baggage to build me up today
But nothing’s going to fix it until I give it all away
Can you hear what I say, gotta give it all away
To heal all the damage, I gotta give it all away
Gotta make it black and white
There’s never room for the grey
Until I give it all away, going to give it all away
Going, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Oh now, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Going, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Oh now, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
In our hood, somethings they never change
Keep it together while you’re saving the train
In my hood, in my hood
It’s all good, you and I are the same
We’re never waiting cause we’re saving the train
In my hood, in my hood, I’m gone
(Ohh, ahh)
I’m going, going, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Oh now, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Going, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it all to you
Oh now, I’m going now to give it all away
Or give it back to you
In our hood, somethings they never change
Keep it together while you’re saving the train
In my hood, in my hood
It’s all good, you and I are the same
We’re never waiting cause we’re saving the train
In my hood, in my hood, ooh-ooh
I’m going, n my hood, in my hood
In my hood, in my hood, ooh-woo
Going, I’m going now to give it all away or. . .
I’ve been down to that river to pray
Trying to find revival, wash away all I say
