  • Just a kid from the neighbourhood
    We're all kids from a neighbourhood
    Take it back to '96
    I fall asleep with the radio on

    Turn my pillow to the fresh side
    Fall asleep ol' sleepy eye
    I don't dream big, just the right size
    That modesty comes from my mom's side

    You ever heard of a soft touch?
    You ever heard of a finger roll?
    A little sun, a little rain drop
    And you watch this thing grow

    Follow me like a firefly
    At midnight in mid-July
    Mix some blood, sweat, and tears of joy
    That's what I call a rally cry

    Relentless
    Like a dog on a bone
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    Relentless
    We don't walk alone
    Relentless
    It's time to get to work, now let's get goin'
    Woo!
    Woo!

    I was hopeless, I was restless
    On the spinning wheel of fate
    I met a man with a tattoo
    In the shape of his home state

    He said his past was complicated
    Both mourned and celebrated
    Take a minute to get fascinated
    Right here right now, and you're liberated

    Relentless
    Like a dog on a bone
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    Relentless
    We don't walk alone
    Relentless
    It's time to get to work, now let's get goin'
    Woo!
    Relentless!
    Woo!
    Woo!

    You call my name (call my name)
    From the front porch (front porch)
    And I'll come running home to you (home to you)
    You call my name (call my name)
    And I came running, running, running, running
    Running, running, running, running
    Running on home to you (relentless)

    Just a kid from the neighbourhood
    We're all kids from a neighbourhood
    Take me back to '96
    I fall asleep with the radio on

    I'll be ready come the daylight
    I woke up saying, "It's about time"

    Relentless
    Like a dog on a bone
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    Relentless
    We don't walk alone
    Relentless
    It's time to get to work, now let's get goin'
    Relentless
    Like a dog on a bone
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    We got gas in the tank to go all night
    Relentless
    We don't walk alone
    Relentless
    It's time to get to work, now let's get goin'
    Woo! Writer/s: Anthony Michael Carone, Max Kerman, Michael John Deangelis, Nicholas William Dika, Sello Ernest Twala, Timothy James Oxford
