"Let's face it, spite is the greatest of all muses. Support and encouragement are nice, but when confidence is forged in the fires of it being said you can't do something, is there really a better creative force? This appears to be the case with most bands from Cleveland, whether it was Pere Ubu in the 70's, Death of Samantha in the 80's, or Prisonshake in the 90's, for whatever reason(s), bands from this Midwest city always seem to play with a chip on their shoulder. It feels and sounds like it's damn near a necessity. With Nowhere's Matthew Rolin, his inspiration like so many before him also seems steeped in spite. Playing every instrument, singing and recording every note, he's taken giant steps while locked away with each new project of his to where any irony of this latest effort 'Invisible World', certainly, is not lost in the mix. Dialed in and deftly adding to the sum of his influences; further building the psych-rock Tower of Babel atop such solid foundations of Syd Barrett and the Paisley Underground's Rain Parade, to even that of some of its newest constructs with Dungen and Tame Impala, Nowhere's third full length album, from beginning to end, strives to be one of the best listens of the year. Just bubbly enough for pop, just driven enough for rock, and just tweaked out enough for psych, about the only problem with this album is that each listen through conjures up dreams of a happy haze kaleidoscope of hot summer days." - Michael James Pultz (Loop Music)

Touching base and iβm about to bring it home on my sandlot
She say βya killin me Smallsβ
Wrecking ball how iβm killing these walls
All of yβall can get it now clips like a cenophile
Niggas hoes on my itenary turn your IG to obituary
All a nigga raps should be in cemetery
Horror 16s in my literary it could get real scary
I donβt want to hear no gripes!
Thatβs the one you loving on man yikes!
Lolo with me from the J and he sheist!
And that nigga play with toys like a tike!
The love fake and the hate free
Niggas love Who they canβt but they hate what they canβt be
We aint goin noWhere
I tell my hoes that I aint shit and really they just dont care
Iβm up so high I cant deny I feel the sky in my hair
And na-na-nana-na-nana
We ainβt goin noWhere
I tell my hoes I ainβt shit and really
2020 I donβt wanna hear we acting funny
I swear most of yβall acting like yβall hate money
Get money money take money money aye!
Big money money you fake money wait
Canβt afford spending time feeling sorry man
Niggas not jiggy scaring hoes at the party
But my fit look foolish. chick look like Ashanti
Said rain on me skeet skeet go my lil Jonny
Time everything her legs ten and two!
She a cutie but her legs obtuse
Stunt like Dion tell the City we on
High-stepping in this bitch nigga thatβs what we on
Don C Jordanβs on now I rock neon
Skin on fleek butter brown like a pecan
Preach like Deacon or DVon
We put our feet on the table then get our 3D on
We aint goin noWhere
I tell my hoes that I aint shit and really they just dont care
Iβm up so high I cant deny I feel the sky in my hair
And na-na-nana-na-nana
We ainβt goin noWhere
I tell my hoes I ainβt shit and really
We ainβt goin noWhere put your hands up to the sky
We ainβt goin noWhere put your hands up to the sky
I said We ainβt goin noWhere put your hands up put your hands up
I said We ainβt goin noWhere put your hands up put your hands up
The lyrics to the song "NOWHERE" by Nowhere contain a lot of cultural references and wordplay that depict the artist's experiences and outlook on life. The song begins with a reference to the notion of being behind the times, as the phrase "turtle time" suggests that the singer is moving at a slower pace compared to others. The mention of a mascot indicates a sense of belonging to a group, and the line "touching base and I'm about to bring it home on my sandlot" implies that the singer is part of a team that is playing a game but is also ready to win.
The next few lines of the song highlight the singer's prowess as a rapper, particularly their ability to "kill" it with their rhymes, using a simile to compare themselves to a "wrecking ball" that destroys walls. The phrase "clips like a cenophile" plays with the word "cinephile" (a person who loves movies) by substituting it with "clip" to evoke an image of someone who loves guns and violence. The lines "need my dough Pillsbury, they can have me how they want they still share me" suggest that the singer is aware of their status as an object of desire and is willing to use it to their advantage.
As the song progresses, the singer transitions into a more confrontational mode, using words like "obituary" and "cemetery" to describe the fate they want to visit on their enemies. The lines "horror 16s in my literary it could get real scary" suggest that the singer is not afraid to be controversial or provocative in their rhymes. The reference to Lil Jon's "skeet skeet" line adds a touch of humor to the song, while the line "she a cutie but her legs obtuse" plays with the idea of beauty standards and what is considered attractive.
Overall, "NOWHERE" is a song about asserting oneself in the world and refusing to be held back by anyone or anything. It celebrates the power of language and storytelling while also acknowledging the darker aspects of human nature.

Good God Almighty
I can feel my help coming y'all
Ohh
Ooh, ahh
I remember way back in the day
Me and Deja used to play
Husband and Wife all day
Her mom was the baddest thang in the neighborhood
So you know me
I always got me a hug
You damn right
Hey, Mrs. Lawdy
God bless Mrs. Lawdy
Shout out to Uncle Boog
Hey, the memories we can't erase
If we did wrong, we can't erase, it
Because in the end it don't mean, shit
Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
My Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Hey, my Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
My Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
My Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
I remember Reverend Bowser
He taught me how to tie my tie
He told me when you talking to another man, look that nigga in his eye
(Well, he didn't say nigga)
(You know what he mean)
My mom played on the organ
She played every cord right, right
I was on the usher board
Can't lie, I was kind of bored
But my grandmama, she wanted me to learn some decorum
I'm not going Nowhere
Nowhere
I've got more Love to give to you
Nowhere
Oh, I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
My Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Oh, no, no, no, no, Nowhere
Nowhere
No, no, no, no, no, no
I said I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
I promise I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
My Love is right here for you
Nowhere
Ohh!
I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
I give all my Love to you right here
Nowhere
I ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Now right there where you are
Ohh
Close your eyes and reminisce on the good past for just a little while
Think about our Ancestors
Everything they gave
Everything they sacrificed for us to be right here
Ohh, we thank you Ancestors
Ohh, we thank you God
Ohh, thank you for the memories, God
Ohh
The Love ain't going Nowhere
See, I was going to end this song
But I feel God right now
Ba, da, da, do don,
Doh, doh, doh, doh, doh, doh
Doh, doh, umm
Love ain't going Nowhere

You are not alone right here
Nowhere
Love ain't going Nowhere

Nowhere
God ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Don't ever feel like you alone because Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Love ain't going Nowhere
Nowhere
Love is right here
Nowhere
Now I want to take a moment, and just say thank you God
Thank you for loving me
Ohh, thank you for keeping me
Ohh, my life is changed, and I want to say thank you God
Ohh, you kept your word to me
Even when I didn't have food to eat
You were right there
No money to wash my clothes
Nowhere
But your Love was still there
Nowhere
Even though my clothes were dirty
Nowhere
I knew that you cared
The moment, the moment
Nowhere
I didn't want to live no more
Nowhere
Your Love was there
Nowhere
Not going Nowhere
Ohh, you've been here the whole time
Even when I didn't realize
Even when I thought I couldn't feel you
You were right here
You were right here
But I was blinded by my insecurities
Blinded by my situation
And it blocked your view from me
But now I know what to do
I got to call
I got to call on You
What a mighty God I serve
What a mighty God I serve
