Jealous
Rob Bailey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I work harder than anybody knows and I've lost touch with everybody close to me,
But I won't stop, no, I won't stop, no, I won't stop, no, I can't stop!

Ok! So you've never heard of me, I am the reason that you've ever done anything creatively.
You sound ridicules! It's Rob fucking Bailey in this, bitch!
Stop crying about your blood and your sweat! Quit talking about things you haven't done yet!
Are you done yet? Do you need a second? Catch your breath I haven't even started yet!
I just want you to know that I am aware and I think everybody else is too!
Its been a few years, but I am well fed! Check my pedigree, I am well bred!
Ship captain, mine shaft, foreman till your hands black, like J. Henry,
Hit spikes till I'm dead!
Lets take a break before the chorus and let that sink in.

I work harder than anybody knows and I've lost touch with everybody close to me,
But I won't stop, no, I won't stop, no, I won't stop, no, I can't stop!

Ywah, yeah And you should be a little jealous,
At least that's all that instant messages tell us!
Well, I guess its on to the next one, mama said be the best so I am the best one!
We've invented this shit, with my whole life I've been in some shit.
Never got a handout, blue colors in me, blue on the outside,
Cut me open, blue blood comes out and I doubt I will bleed red.
Zombie mentality, work past death
And I'm hard in the head, brick walls couldn't stop a motherfucka, I am going all out!

No seeds, no water, no dirt, from concrete, I made it work.
Foundation, build over an empire, I am the bridge-stone, I am the fire,
I am the raw, I am the blueprint, I am the master you are the student.
So here is your first lesson, quit trying to be me!

I won't stop, I won't stop, I won't stop, I can't stop,
I won't stop, I won't stop, I won't stop, I can't stop!





I work harder than anybody knows and I've lost touch with everybody close to me,
But I won't stop, NO, I won't stop, no, I won't stop, no, I can't stop!

No seeds, no water, no dirt: from concrete, I made it work.
Foundation, build over an Empire, I am the bridge-stone, I am the fire,
I am the raw, I am the blueprint, I am the master you are the student.
So here is your first lesson: Quit trying to be me!
=======================================================
Sem sementes, sem água, sem sujeira: do concreto, eu fiz o trabalho.
Fundação, construir sobre um império, eu sou a ponte de pedra, eu sou o fogo,
Eu sou o bruto, eu sou o modelo, eu sou o mestre, você é o aluno.
Então aqui está sua primeira lição: Pare de tentar ser eu!

Top demais!! algum br?

I'm really connecting with this song emotionally at this point in life especially with the first two lines. I feel like I'm working harder than I'm given credit or see results for and I've been gaining distance from friends because I spend my time bettering myself or they don't believe in me. Great band with a different sound.

@Master16L1080p

i have the same feel bro... its like you have to lead more ascetic way of life if you want to dedicate to your self-development. friends, family, collegues..they dont fit your world and to focus on your goal you have to keep the distance, cause they dont understand

@MrPainlayer69

I feel the exact same way man

@cooladi002

amen brother. Took words out of my mouth.
I guess it makes sense that it's lonely at the top.
we gonna sacrifice what we are for what we will become..
friends family can join or stay back at look in awe.

@nathanroy8837

Words cant even begin to explain how this song makes me feel it is nothin but truth I have been workin out for almost 2 years just had athro surgery on my right knee from training to hard workin out today 3 days out from surgery upper body, leg throbbing and burning like hell all I can do is cry.I cry tears not of sadness but of passion determination and rage. I am working on a documentary I am making that is going to take around 6 years workin on the footage day by day.When I am done I am hoping it will be truly a one of a kind an hope to inspire many an change lives from the story involved.I would like to possibly use this song in part of my movie if it is cool. I will try to contact u down the road when im ready to sinc it in (if allowed) keep doin what ya do brahs! God knows its all I an many others got!!!

@comradedimitrov6277

@unnununu

Hell ya Nathan! I suffered heavy and hard crash with bike, 10 days coma, 20kg lost, nerves injured, bones breaked, lungs critical... After two years, next monday i'll be under surgery to extract the metals on me. But, i'm stronger than ever, i can take breath as Rob sais on many songs and hold it. Run faster than ever. only i can tell you, this songs of this guys help to fight against the faith and you can defeat your faith. contact him, will be nice i did
