No One Knows
N Dubz Lyrics

One day it's gonna be over
The end is coming closer

I can see the end of the tunnel it's gettin' closer
The end is almost here

I remember I was seven and feeling like I was older
I grew up too fast

Seeing things I shouldn't have and quickly became a grown up
I experienced things that made me mature quickly

All we wanted was money but we never seemed to get it
We desired wealth, yet could never acquire it

One minute remainin', there was never any credit
We were always short on time and finances

Here we are, ten years down the line nothin's changed
The passage of time hasn't altered anything

My aim is to put my mortgage down but in my mother's name
I hope to pay off my mortgage under my mother's name

When you're hopin'
When you're desiring

And the only thing you're lookin' forward to is your travel and your claimin'
You're only anticipating your next trip and making accusations

There's somethin' called recession keeps messin' with your brain
The recession is affecting your mental health

When I left to see the sun come, here it's always fuckin' rainin'
Whenever I left to see sunny days, it always rained here

When you're holdin, and you're dreamin' and you can't feel what you're feelin'
When you're experiencing emotional numbness

When you can't give, 'cause you're hurting and it seems like nothin's working
When you can't provide help because you're struggling too

No one knows your name
You're anonymous

Can't keep fighting
You can't struggle anymore

Something that's to change
Something has to be different

Don't need a helping hand
You don't want assistance

Till no one understands
Until no one can comprehend

However this ends
No matter how it concludes

Hand in hand we'll remain
We'll stay united

The only change I see is only death strain and more pain
All that's visible is more suffering and death

We can't get no jobs but regardless we're tryin all day
We're struggling to find employment but still striving every day

Make sure you carry on going till everyone knows your name
Don't quit until you make a name for yourself

To all the single baby mothers, it's gon' be alright
Assurance to single mothers that everything will be okay

To all the men there, who be hustlin' every night
Acknowledgment of men working hard every night

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

Put my arm and run and I won't sleep until it's over
I'll fight and refuse to rest until it's finished

And the only thing you're lookin' forward to is for someone to start blamin'
You're awaiting someone to assume responsibility

'Cause what they tell us on the news is highly entertainin'
The news is more concerned with entertainment than truth

This is more than a dream
This is reality

Though it's further then we see
Although it's farther away than it appears

I know we'll get there
I'm certain we'll reach our destination

No no one knows your name
You're unknown to everyone

Can't keep fighting
You can't continue to struggle

Don't need a helping hand
You don't desire assistance

Till no one understands
Until nobody comprehends

However this ends
Irrespective of how it concludes

Hand in hand we'll remain
We'll stay united

I slow down, I will get weak
If I slow down, I'll weaken

I can't stand and I can't reach
I'm unable to stand or reach

Everything we need is closer than it seems
What we require is closer than we realize
