Sandy Hook, Stoneman Douglas Another lone-wolf gunman Sometimes I don't know what this World has come to, it's blowin' up And 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, think another one just entered in our buildin' And we'll be 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 F*ck doin' what you're told We're goin' nowhere fast 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 Knowing we're fearless, 'cause we're just 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 'Cause the skies are black But our heart's made of gold (golden) F*ck doin' what you're told (what we're told) Goin' nowhere fast F*ck 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 f*ck 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 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 Never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old 'Cause the skies are black But our heart's made of gold (golden) F*ck doin' what you're told (what we're told) We're goin' nowhere fast 'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no Goin' nowhere (we're on the run of our lives) Going nowhere fast 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 (We're on the run of our lives) Who knows what the future for us could hold Another shooter? Uh-oh No more tomorrows, we're done And all we are is 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 'Cause the skies are black But our heart's made of gold (golden) F*ck doin' what you're told (what we're told) We're goin' nowhere fast 'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no Goin' no, goin' no, goin' no Goin' nowhere (we're on the run of our lives) Goin' nowhere fast
