Read the lyric sheet
Verse 1
9:47 and the sky turn grey Forty-three dollar batch, I'ma make my way Three apps open like a slot machine Dad upstairs yelling at the TV screen Instacart, Uber, DoorDash live 441 corridor, sideways tide Lightning crack, somebody scream downstairs Sunrise rain don't care who there
Pre-chorus
Bars start dropping, one by one Router blink like it's almost done Whole hallway dark, then the courtyard lit Everybody step out, that's when it hit
Chorus
Bars dropped, whole block outside First time in years we made eye to eye Phone hot in my hand, forty-three gone Kid in 304 said, "I been your neighbor too long" Bars dropped, whole block outside Storm took the wifi, the world stepped aside Old head with a speaker playing Maxwell slow Wasn't nobody alone, nobody alone
Verse 2
First reaction: refresh, refresh, refresh T-Mobile dead, my data a mess Three percent battery, nobody passing Lady in 207 banging, asking "Y'all got service?" Nah, not no more Teenager crying 'cause her stream cut short Daddy in 219 ain't seen her cry like that Holding her shoulder, no phone in his hand
Pre-chorus
Bars start dropping, one by one Router dead and the work undone Whole hallway dark, then the courtyard lit We all out here, ain't nowhere to sit
Chorus
Bars dropped, whole block outside First time in years we made eye to eye Phone hot in my hand, forty-three gone Kid in 304 said, "I been your neighbor too long" Bars dropped, whole block outside Storm took the wifi, the world stepped aside Old head with a speaker playing Maxwell slow Wasn't nobody alone, nobody alone
Verse 3
Balcony fill up, courtyard fill up Somebody pull a chair, somebody spill cup Kids running barefoot through the parking lot Auntie said, "come eat what I got" Publix-light buzzing on the breezeway tile Old head said, "y'all forget how to smile" Pull out a domino, pull out a deck Rain on the awning like a record skip
Verse 4
Real talk hit when the screens go dim Single mom say, "rent went up again" Dude in 312 lost his shift last May Been Ubering twelve hours every other day Older couple said, "we used to know the building" Now we don't even know who the children I'm thinking how I scrolled past my own block Selling my attention at a discount stock
Bridge
Somebody laughing, somebody crying Somebody finally just stopped lying I missed forty-three dollars and got something better Nah I'm lying, I needed that cheddar Both things true at the same damn time Money on my mind and a peace I can't buy Storm gon' pass and the wifi gon' work But I seen my neighbor, that's worth what it's worth
Verse 5
Quarter to one and the bars climb back Notification flood, my phone went black Twenty-three texts, four missed calls Instacart pinged me my rating fall Everybody drift back to they own door "We should do this again," nobody sure Auntie waved from 207, "be safe" Hallway empty, like it's been every day
Chorus
Bars dropped, whole block outside First time in years we made eye to eye Phone hot in my hand, forty-three gone Kid in 304 said, "I been your neighbor too long" Bars dropped, whole block in the rain For one night a stranger learned my name Old head with a speaker playing Maxwell slow Wasn't nobody alone, nobody alone
Outro
Ping, ping, ping, back to the thing Ping, ping, ping, back to the thing Ping, ping, ping...
Inside the recording
9:47 and the sky turn grey Forty-three dollar batch, I'ma make my way
Bars start dropping, one by one Router blink like it's almost done
Ping, ping, ping, back to the thing Ping, ping, ping, back to the thing
