I don't wanna drown no more
I'm sick of the same old people
The kind that'll sell your soul
Trade it for a shining stone
Ain't nothing in this life for free
Running from the greatest evil
It finally dawned on me
A man's gotta fight temptation
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the
And I don't wanna go back home.
Too many staring faces,
Wishing they could drag me down,
Waiting to pull me under.
I've shaken off my chains,
But I still feel those shackles
Living inside of me,
I know I've gotta fight temptation
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the
Yo, Money's short like my temper
But the bills still keep on coming
Staying on the grind January til December
Tryna lace this beats on a shoestring budget
Rent's due so I'm raiding the copper jar
Hard on the hustle for the sterling
Going all out, Putting work in
It's an uphill struggle but I'm working
I was homeless, having to sleep rough
On the streets feeling like I need to be drunk
I'm tryna turn grass roots to a tree trunk
When the man are only in it for the free lunch
See us we only deal with the real stuff
Brother, cos all that glitters ain't gold
Plus, I can hear the wolves outside my door
But money can't buy my soul, no
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the door
