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 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 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
