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 temptationKeep 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 theAnd 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 temptationKeep 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 theYo, 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, noKeep 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 theKeep 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
