Nowhere Fast (iHeartRadio Music Awards 2018)

[Verse 1: Eminem]

Sandy Hook, Stoneman Douglas

Another lone-wolf gunman

Sometimes I don't know what this

World has come to, it's blowin' up

This whole country is goin' nuts

And the NRA is in our way

They're responsible for this whole production

They hold the strings to control the puppets

And they threaten to take away donor bucks

So they know the government won't do nothin'

And no one's budgin', gun owners' clutchin'

Their loaded weapons

They love their guns more than our children

Shh, I think another one just entered in our buildin'

And we'll be—

[Chorus: Kehlani]

Ashes blowin' in the air

Our world's on fire, but we don't care, yeah

Wasted youth, always on the road

Never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old

'Cause the skies are black

But our heart's made of gold

Forget doin' what you're told

We're goin' nowhere fast

[Verse 2: Eminem]

I feel sorry for this beat, sympathy pains for this track

This road is takin' me back

Down memory lane with this rap

I can still look out in this crowd, be wowed and be taken aback

I'm simply stating a fact

I had Wembley Stadium packed

But now we're on a path headed to nowhere and fast

Another terrorist attacks

Like a tariff blows half of Madison Square up, alas

We perish in the blast

But that isn't scaring us, we pass

Nowhere we're fearless, 'cause we're just—

[Chorus: Kehlani & Eminem]

Ashes blowin' in the air

Our world's on fire, but we don't care, yeah

(We don't give a… no, no)

Wasted youth, always on the road

Never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old

The skies are black, but our heart's made of gold (golden)

Forget doin' what you're told (what we're told)

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Fuck doin' what you're told, act like a two-year-old

[Shit] is soon to go kaboom and blow

Anyways; for MC's it's a funeral

When I'm devisin' this rhyme

'Cause I'm awake and you're mourning

That's why I rise and I shine

Like a new day has dawned on me

Gusto, guts, bravado

Nuts and plus I kick up dust and cuss a lot

I musta got you in somewhat of a debacle

'Cause some stuff that's awful

Really don't mean nothin' although

There's a lot of [shit] I said in jest that's tough to swallow

But if at times my heart it seems

Like it's in the wrong place, it's probably 'cause it's on my sleeve

Keanu Reeves speed of life, avoid or veer

Or just steer toward it, we're only lookin' forward

But where we're goin' we have no idea

Nowhere to go, but hysterical, it's gettin' warm in here

I set the world on fire, was born to be an arsonist

Just one spark and it's lit

But I'ma still get dark on this [shit]

Told you I'd leave my mark on this [bitch]—war machine

But you forced me in a corner

I'm sure to have somethin' for your rear

And in the course of the assault as torture gets more severe

Go to war with me, you'll end up blew to Timbuktu

I send at you a ten-ton nuke like Kim Jong-Un

And end up ruinin' your career

But when all is said and done

And at the end of my run, I'll just rewind clocks, forever young

Make time stop, will I ever fall off? That day will never come

'Til the pine box, [bitch, fuck you!] I'm better than I ever was

'Til the bomb drops, hope it never does

But I'm not gonna sweat it 'cause

This world's screwed, it's already [fucked]

And I'm on top, so everyone's just—

[Chorus: Kehlani & Eminem]

Ashes blowin' in the air (so we're…)

Our world's on fire, but we don't care, yeah

(We don't give a… no, no)

Wasted youth, always on the road

We're never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old

The skies are black, but our heart's made of gold (golden)

Forget doin' what you're told (what we're told)

Hands up!

[Post-Chorus: Kehlani]

'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no

Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no

Goin' nowhere

[Bridge: Eminem]

You can't tell us nothin'

Hard-headed and we're stubborn

So, one ear and out the other

When we're young, we're young

Who knows what the future for us could hold

Another shooter? Uh oh

No more tomorrows, we're done

And all we are is—

[Chorus: Kehlani & & Eminem]

Ashes blowin' in the air (so we're…)

Our world's on fire, but we don't care (don't care, yeah)

(We don't give a… no, no)

Wasted youth, always on the road

Never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old

The skies are black, but our heart's made of gold (golden)

Forget doin' what you're told (what we're told)

We're goin' nowhere

[Post-Chorus: Kehlani]

Goin' nowhere

We're goin' nowhere fast
