[Verse 1]
Donât let it fool you brother
Beware of what you see
Youâve been consumed by all your visions of luxury
Betrayed your friends and burned the
Bridges that carry you
But when you need them later, they wonât be there for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Youâre so high now
You think youâll never fall
But when you come down, who will you call?
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do when your moneyâs blown
Your friends are gone and youâre all alone
Now you barely hanging on with no one else to run to
You should know it wonât make you whole
You gain the world but lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
Youâll find out it just wonât save you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
You think that having money brings joy and peace to you
But the pursuit of it might bring out the beast in you
Chase the American Dream but canât face reality
That what youâre chasing only lasts temporarily
Whatcha gonna do when thereâs nowhere (Nowhere to run to) ohhhâ¦
I think youâre gonna find that it just wonât (Just wonât save you) ohhhâ¦
Whatcha gonna do when thereâs nowhere (Nowhere to run to)
Ooh youâre gonna find that it just wonât (Just wonât save you) ohhh
Whatcha gonna do when thereâs nowhere (Nowhere to run to)
I think youâre gonna find that it just wonât (Just wonât save you) Heeyyyy
Whatcha gonna do when thereâs nowhere to run to (Nowhere to run to)
I think youâre gonna find that it just wonât (Just wonât save you) Heyeeyeyey, yeah yeah
Whatcha gonna do when thereâs nowhere (Nowhere to run to) ohhh, yeah, yeah
I think youâre gonna find that it just wonât (Just wonât save you) Heeyyy, thereâs nowhere
[John Legendâs vocals fade out]
Nowhere to run toâ¦.
Just wonât save youâ¦
Nowhere to run toâ¦
Just wonât save youâ¦
