Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 never gettin' old
'Cause the skies are black
But our heart's made of gold
Fuck doin' what you're told
We're goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 2]
I feel sorry for this beat
Sympathy pays for this track
This road is taking 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
[Verse 3]
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 scarin' us
We pass knowin' we're fearless
'Cause we're just
[Verse 4]
Ashes blowin' in the air
Our world's on fire but we don't care, yeah
Wasted youth, always on a road
Never lookin' back and we never gettin' old
'Cause the skies are black
But our heart's made of gold
Fuck doin' what you're told
We're goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 5]
'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no
Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no
Goin' nowhere (We're on our way to the light)
Goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 6]
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 devising 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
[Verse 7]
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 nothing all though
There's a lotta shit I said in jest
That's tough to swallow
[Verse 8]
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 are only looking forward
But where we're going, we have no idea
[Verse 9]
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 something for your ear
And in the course of the assault
This 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 ruining your career
[Verse 10]
But when all is said and done
And at the end of my run, I just rewind clocks
Forever young, make time stop
When I ever fall off, that day'll never come
To the pine box, bitch, fuck you
I'm better than I ever was
Till 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
[Verse 11]
Ashes blowin' in the air
Our world's on fire but we don't care, yeah
Wasted youth, always on a road
Never lookin' back and we never gettin' old
'Cause the skies are black
But our heart's made of gold
Fuck doin' what you're told
We're goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 12]
'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no
Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no
Goin' nowhere (We're on our way to the light)
Goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 13]
You can't tell us nothing
Hard-headed and we're stubborn
So, working out the other when 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
[Verse 14]
Ashes blowin' in the air
Our world's on fire but we don't care, yeah
Wasted youth, always on a road
Never lookin' back and we never gettin' old
'Cause the skies are black
But our heart's made of gold
Fuck doin' what you're told
We're goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 15]
'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no
Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no
Goin' nowhere (We're on our way to the light)
Goin' nowhere fast
