[Urthboy, B Wise - Running Into the Flames lyrics]
I remember what the man said
When it's time to take the next step
And you finish this degree in this industry
What you come to expect
Minimum made at the bottom of the deck
Each year the rate will it's
Got a bigger cheque
Yeah the thought of that money
It went to my head
Like 'I'd never have to worry
About paying my rent, right?'
(Running into these flames) Kind of
Job that we could expect
If we took that corporate walk of respect
And
The needs of the powerful that we'd protect
Right? (Running into these flames) We could
End up driving Corvettes
Like big shot advertising execs
But, I'm no rabbit up in them headlights
Swapped all of it to work for nothing
We take the nothing and make it something
Desktop, PC, speakers bumping
Do I run from it or do I jump in?
Feel like I've been pulled
Back from the brink
Of life that I wouldn't want to have
You can keep your houses
I'll keep Blue Mountains
Yaeh we'll keep putting it on the map
Let me make this clear
I see beyond the flash of the kings shilling
I don't need no one doing my bidding
I'm not top billing but don't stop winning
I've got no choice 'cause
Everything is everything
None of this is in vain
So I keep my eyes wide open
As I'm running into these flames
Running into these flames
Running into these flames
I keep my eyes open wide open
As I'm running into these flames
I know what you're gonna say
(Running into these flames) Do it
For the starting wage
(Running into these flames) Do
It for the family
(Running into these flames) Do it
So that you can change
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Finished high school, yeah
It was a little bit tough
Graduated university
Parents be on top of me
But it still ain't enough
I feel like Craig in Friday
So, it's time to get a J-O-B
Minimum wage, working in a cage
Feeling like a slave but it can't hold me
Now taking somebody's orders
That ain't ever been part of my style
I've been thinking for a while
All the things that I said I'll be
When I used to be a child
Tell me how the fuck did I end up here?
Never in life has it been so clear
That I gotta make my own way
I can give a fuck what you say
I'm feeling like God when he made the new day
So I had to get down on my indie
Took the long road cause no one was with me
Left the job when others thought it was risky
Bank account low shit was not crispy
Don't believe me you can come frisk me
Say to fake it till you make it, but it's
Hard when you're a real one so please
Don't mistake it
He was like a 9 to 5 still on a mission
Treating every show like
'who the competition?'
Working my way out of minimum wage when
You know you're educated to start 70K
And I don't know what you don't understand
I will never trust the man
I'm the one in control and I make the plans
And so everything is everything
None of this is in vain
So I keep my eyes wide open
As I'm running into these flames
Running into these flames
Running into these flames
I keep my eyes open wide open
As I'm running into these flames
I know what you're gonna say
(Running into these flames) Do it
For the starting wage
(Running into these flames) Do
It for the family
(Running into these flames) Do it
So that you can change
When it's time to take the next step
And you finish this degree in this industry
