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
