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 dying', I hate it
My enemies love it
I'm tryin to stay focused
Its hard when you broken and tired
Its a shame all this work is in vain
All the pain in my soul
All alone, its a crime
Somebody done lied to me
Someone gettin fired
The law of attraction dont work
If it did i'd pull up on a yacht
On the coast Versailles
I'm tired of waitin
The 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
Its an eye for an eye
Its 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 a 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
Now who the fuck payin these bills
The American Dream is dying
The American Dream is what i am
The price of inflation is risin
No matter if its 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 making 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
Its deafening
You fear me?
Now open the safe
The family need us
The insanity bleed us dry
Society turned a blind eye
To the poor and the weak
And the ties that bind
What!

Just doin time
Behind a 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
And 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 uh
