From the recording Back Against the Wall
Lyrics
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I ain’t here to play no scam.
Actions speak, words don’t land,
Show me workin’ hand in hand.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I cut loose where I know I stand.
If you won’t ride, then stay behind,
I’m movin’ on with peace of mind.
Spent too many years tryna please the crowd,
Givin’ all I had till it wore me down.
Helpin’ hands only reach one way,
And I’m done with that game, no more to say.
I break my back just to make it through,
Day by day, sweat’s the only proof.
Ain’t no room left to carry dead weight,
If you ain’t buildin’, then step off my plate.
Talk is cheap, I’m past the scam—
Show me action, or I don’t give a damn.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I ain’t here to play no scam.
Actions speak, words don’t land,
Show me workin’ hand in hand.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I cut loose where I know I stand.
If you won’t ride, then stay behind,
I’m movin’ on with peace of mind.
Tired of excuses, tired of lies,
Petty little jabs and the sideways eyes.
Misunderstandings, words unsaid,
Won’t fix a thing when the trust is dead.
Show me who you are, how you stand tall,
Side by side, or don’t show up at all.
Life’s too short for the half-baked plan,
I’m ridin’ with the real, ‘cause I know who I am.
At the end of the day, it’s us or none,
Either pull your weight or the race is done.
If you won’t give back, then I’ll walk away,
I ain’t got time for the games you play.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I ain’t here to play no scam.
Actions speak, words don’t land,
Show me workin’ hand in hand.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn,
I cut loose where I know I stand.
If you won’t ride, then stay behind,
I’m movin’ on with peace of mind.
Actions talk, the rest is jam,
No more games—
Frankly, I don’t give a damn.
