[Intro: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Dun dun dun dee-dee dun dun
[Verse 1: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I don't wanna drown no more
Sick of the same old people
The kind that will sell your soul
Trade it for a shining stone
Ain't nothing in this life for free
Running from the greatest evil
[Refrain: Rag'n'Bone Man]
It finally dawned on me
A man's gotta fight temptation
[Hook: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the-
[Verse 2: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I don't wanna go back home
Too many staring faces
Wishing they could drag me down
Waiting to pull me under
I've shaken off my chains
But I still feel those shackles
[Refrain: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Living inside of me
I know I gotta fight temptation
[Hook: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better

It won't be long before I cave in and open up the-
[Bridge: Stig of the Dump]
Yo, Money's short like my temper
But the bills still keep on coming
Staying on the grind January to December
Tryna lace these beats on a shoestring budget
Rents due so I'm raiding the copper jar
Hard on the hustle for the sterling
Going all out, putting work in
It's an uphill struggle but I'm working
I was homeless having to sleep rough
On the streets feeling like I need to be drunk
I'm tryna turn grassroots to a tree trunk
Friends of mine are only in it for the free lunch
See us we only deal with the real stuff brother
Cos all that glitters ain't gold bruv
I can hear the wolves outside my door but money can't buy my soul
NO!
[Hook: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the-
[Hook: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Keep the wolves from the door
I hear them scratching like I don't know better
Won't you keep the wolves from the door
It won't be long before I cave in and open up the door
