This track is about going from place to place, never stopping, being a nomad, looking for new adventures -‘the action’- in new places. This desire to be a nomad is a topic found throughout the Ascension EP, as mentioned by No Wyld themselves:
[Chorus]
Never going back alone
Going back alone
No one's left lost my home
Living sleeping in the zone
Places where the dark is from
Going back alone
Never going back alone
Living sleeping in the zone
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
[Verse 1]
Living for my money
Funny how you never found me homie
Know me as the quiet lonely rapper with a sharpened mind
Lined up at the barber father talking 'bout the worlds a 'lotta trouble
Humble, rumble, fall, and fumble bless the old times
Waiting for the money, cars, houses; prenups and divorces
Clean up, call it showbiz is this, really worth fighting for?
Yeah, when I'm selling out tours!
[Chorus]
Never going back alone
Going back alone
No one's left lost my home
Living sleeping in the zone
Places where the dark is from
Going back alone
Never going back alone
Living sleeping in the zone
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
[Verse 2]
Never gonna go wrong with this one
You're dealing with a reckless mind
If you're not here to help me don't waste my fucking time
Hold up, hold up, get up, get up
No luck cause I feel I gotta fall sometimes
But I fight on my feet in the street for the dream
Oh Lord gotta get nine lives
Young rapper no silver platter
S-stop your stutter boy
Smooth as butter, frozen runner
On a track made longer by a verse that's sharp and hook made stronger
I find I gotta work more, fight more, learn more
Boy never change my mind
Grind till I'm through this move these losers
Yeah never hit rewind
[Chorus]
Never going back alone
Going back alone
No one's left lost my home
Living sleeping in the zone
Places where the dark is from
Going back alone
Never going back alone
Living sleeping in the zone
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
[Verse 3]
Always on my own, living in the zone
Always on my own, living in the zone
I'm always on my own
I'm always on my own
I'm always on my own
I'm always on my own!
[Chorus]
Never going back alone
Going back alone
No one's left lost my home
Living sleeping in the zone
Places where the dark is from
Going back alone
Never going back alone
Living sleeping in the zone
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
[Chorus]
Never going back alone
Going back alone
No one's left lost my home
Living sleeping in the zone
Places where the dark is from
Going back alone
Never going back alone
Living sleeping in the zone
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
Whisper to me quietly
Tell me where's the action
Fear lives inside of me
Move in no direction
