Jamila Woods - Camden lyrics

There is beauty in the ashes Love where the hate lashes Toward the innocent, each and every citizen Each a part of the witnessin' This city I live in is intricate Because we spread the word of God like an instrument That is attached to His body like a ligament The change in the city is very significant I moved here in two thousand eleven Sadness and turmoiled people, overwhelmed with depression But today so many are smiling cuz we have reached the transgression My dad is a painter, he does art Break down the word artist, can't have art without heart My parents made an extreme change They opened the book, and revived each page I am on a journey God controls my life, I can't worry Ever since we moved, I love my city, Camden, New Jersey
