Going Nowhere
Listen
You put in a lifetime of work
It hurt to see you got nothin' to show for it
The devil is waiting for me
I'm a rebel
It's hard to see how can I move forward
They countin' on me
The mouths that I feed
The family they waiting at home for it
It feel like no matter how hard that I try
I can't keep my head above water
I'm dyin'
I hate it
My enemies love it
I'm tryin' to stay focused
It's hard when you broken and tired
It's a shame all this work is in vain
All the pain in my soul
All alone, it's a crime
Somebody done lied to me
Someone gettin' fired
The law of attraction don't work
If it did I'd pull up on a yacht
On thе coast Versailles
I'm tired of waitin'
Thе clock is tickin'
I eat what I kill
I'm a lion
The fire is comin'
The enemy runnin' for cover
I'm losin' my pride
I could use a good cry
But the well has run dry
Between you and I
I stopped givin' a fuck
Now I'm ready to get rich
Or die tryin'
The dream is a lie
It's an eye for an eye
It's hell - survival
I'm feelin' entitled
We jus tryin' to keep hope alive
The struggle is real
Now who's payin' these bills?
I'm here for the wife
The son, the daughter
Not here for the thrill
What?
Just doin' time
Behind the wall
Fight for your life
We fight for it all
Day after day
There's no escape
Year after year
Living in fear
We're going nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere but up
We're going nowhere, nowhere
We're going nowhere but up
The struggle is real (you feel me?)
Now who the fuck payin' these bills
The American dream is dyin'
The American dream is what I am
The price of inflation is risin'
Don't matter if it's Trump
Or Obama or Biden
Now we turn to the smokin' and drinkin'
The pills that we poppin' they put us in prison
The bars invisible
What were you thinkin'
I wasn't
I'm young and I'm livin'
I'm numb and I'm givin' my life away
Makin' mistakes is a given
As a boy I had a dream, a vision
I open my eyes
Too late - I'm trippin'
I'm done
I'm desperate
You hear me?
No one is safe
The silence
It's deafenin'
You fear me?
Now open the safe
The family need us
The insanity bleed us dry
Society turn a blind eye
To the poor and the weak
And the ties that bind
Just doin' time
Behind the wall
Fight for your life
We fight for it all
Day after day
There's no escape
Year after year
Living in fear
We're going nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere but up
We're going nowhere, nowhere
We're going nowhere but up
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Empty your pockets
Show me what you're worth now
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Open the safe
No ain't nobody safe now
Please be afraid
Be very afraid now
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Open the safe
No ain't nobody safe now
Please be afraid
Be very afraid now
Be very afraid now
