No One Knows

One day it's gon' be over

I can see the end of the tunnel, it's gettin' closer

I remember being seven and feeling like I was older

Seeing things I shouldn't have

And then quickly became a grownup (Yeah)

All we wanted was money but we never seemed to get it

One minute remaining, there was never any credit

Here we are, ten years down the line, nothing's changed

My aim is to put my mortgage down in my mother's name

When you're hopin' and the only thing you're lookin' forward to

Is the travel that you're claimin'

There's somethin' called recession keeps messin' with your brain

Well, I live to see the sun

'Cause here, it's always **** rainin'

When you're hopin' and you're dreamin'

And you can't feel what you're feelin'

When you can't give, 'cause you're hurtin'

And it seems like nothing's working

No one knows your name, no, no one knows your name

Can't keep fightin', something has to change

Don't need a helping hand, see, no one understands

However this ends, hand in hand we'll remain

I remain strong always

The only change I ever see is death, strain, and more pain

We can't get no jobs, but regardless, we're tryin' all day

Make sure you carry on goin' till everyone knows your name

To all the single baby mothers, it's gon' be alright

To all the men there, who be hustlin' every night

When the revolution comes and going, dressed up as a soldier

I put my arm and run, and I won't sleep until it's over

Let me show ya

(When you're hopin') And the only thing you're lookin' forward to

Is for someone to start blaming

'Cause what they tell us on the news is highly entertaining

Well, I live to see the sun

'Cause here, it's always **** rainin'

When you're hopin' and you're dreamin'

And you can't feel what you're feelin'

When you can't give, 'cause you're hurtin'

And it seems like nothing's working

No one knows your name, no, no one knows your name

Can't keep fighting, something has to change (To change)

Don't need a helping hand, see, no one understands

However this ends, hand in hand we'll remain

This is more than a dream

Though it's further than we see

I know we'll get there

If slow down, I will get weak, if I can't stand, then I can't reach

Everything we need is closer than it seems

If I slow down, I will get weak, if I can't stand, then I can't reach

Everything we need is closer than it seems

No one knows your name, no, no one knows your name

(Your name)

Can't keep fighting, something has to change

Don't need a helping hand, see, no one understands

However this ends, hand in hand we'll remain
