Not Leaving by Konan Doyle Lyrics
Got my back against a wall, I won’t fall, got my feet planted
But it’s hard to go on when I feel stranded
I’ll go far with the cards that I’ve been handed
Feeling like I’m walkin on egg shells and I keep scrambling
In deep panic, feel like I’m a wreak havoc
They just want me laid to rest
So I fall asleep standing
One eye open and one closed I suppose
I won’t let a single person take me from home, good luck, though
Doesn’t even matter how it unfolds, I won’t go
No ones gonna send me to this unknown I don’t know
Nobody’s bringing me down
Hopin’ they sick of me now
I’ma be fighting for all of my rights so put that on my life, you ain’t kicking me out
Is this how a criminal sounds?
You say you’re innocent, how?
Think about how much a victim allows I’ll bе sticking around ‘til I live in the ground
You can’t take mе from my family
Move back, we don’t want no casualties
Sending endless men and women, trapping them in tragedies with happiness, it saddens me, then acting as if that’s the way it has to be
They want us to pasta cheddar, we’re all out of mac and cheese
That’s what happens when they think you tried to bite the hand that feeds
And they say the apple never falls far from the apple tree
You won’t apprehend me with your apathy
We’re not even asking to live lavishly
Casually just asking, please
Quit causing catastrophes, I cannot leave
Aah
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
Stand still ‘til a man’s last will, if I can’t handle ‘em sitting on my anthill
I’ma dismantle ‘em, stick em in the landfill
Make you an example of how I let the trash build
You can’t kill me
I’m telling you
I got too much here at stake
I don’t have time or money to waste
I’m putting food in the oven to bake
If you confine me, trust me I’m gonna escape
And before running away
I can reserve you what you deserve, I’m happy to serve a punch in the face
You won’t even try to see my side of it
Treating us like animals, surprised we don’t have microchips
Maybe that’s because you never had my type of life to live
Both of us are products of a different environment
Aah
You don’t understand me
And I do not expect you to
But you cannot demand we up and leave because it’s best for you
We can fight the greed
Try and cry and bleed
And they can see from their experience that we will never leave
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
No, no
We don’t wanna go
You gon’ find my body here until it decompose
If there’s any body who ain’t leaving me alone
Then I guess we gon’ tag a body like it’s eeny meeny moe
When I make my enemies, I like to keep em close
If they keep a distance, I just see ‘em in my scope
Knock on heaven’s door but I guess jesus isn’t home
So you’ll be dancing with the devil ‘til the heat defeats your sole
Not me
You picked the wrong fight
I fought sleep
To fight all night
I want peace
That’s what it’s called, right?
Something we should all see, but these people lost sight
Despicable, this is not political
We ain’t seeing eye to eye, but you got tainted visuals
We got bigger problems and you’re viewing them as minuscule
Cause you don’t pay attention to the things in your peripherals
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
Please, we don’t want go
Down these unfamiliar roads
Can’t believe I’ve lost my hope
I’m not leaving
But it’s hard to go on when I feel stranded
I’ll go far with the cards that I’ve been handed
Feeling like I’m walkin on egg shells and I keep scrambling
In deep panic, feel like I’m a wreak havoc
