Lyrics 4 Walls - Joe Budden

See, me
I'm talking 'bout something called
Something I like to call, call it
Ain't even got a name for it
Only certain niggas suffer from this shit
Come on boys

Talking 'bout niggas that got like (four walls)
Niggas that got like the sixth sense or something (they surround me)
Sometimes you see shit that ain't there (loneliness)
Sometimes we hear shit ain't nobody said (has found me)
Sometimes you think you somewhere (I'm waiting for you)
And you really somewhere totally different (you return)

It's almost like you hallucinating but (open the door)
You sober, you ain't high (walk right on your way)
No drugs or nothing like that (darling let's start)
Sometimes you be high (all over again)
Talkin' 'bout like, paranoia's and shit

Look, I don't give a fuck again
Thoughts in my head, lookin' like a niggas stuck with them
Wishin' it abruptly ends, but God woke him up again
Everything I seen is so unfair, so unclear
Tryna reach out, no one's there

Four walls, tell him: go run, where? No one cares
Screamin', "This too shall pass," ridin' on, fools without gas
Bills pilin' up without cash, tryna maintain and outlast
Pray for me, keep tellin' niggas patiently, wait for me

Keep tell my haters wait and see, I'm really tryin' to fill the vacancy
Been a long time it's taken me, motherfuckers keep mistakin' me
Mistakenly, the cage in me, niggas never had no faith in me
It's like I'm one semi from death, I'm just a few pennies from debt
I got no identity left, victim of identity theft

Our problems are never new, it's revenue
Keep blamin' them, it's never you
Keep tellin' baby girl I'm gonna leave and never do
'Cause even when a nigga needs space
When your lookin' for a little lee-way
Somebody puts it on replay, it's like it gets louder with each day
Pray

Four walls, four walls
They surround me
Loneliness has found me
I'm wating for you to return
Open the door, walk right on and
Darling, let's start all over again

Look, look, I'm tryna keep it formal now
But the pressure's on him now
I'll go ahead and warn you now
I'm tryna come across as normal now
All my life I've been called insane
Looked at as if I'm strange
Can't tame 'em, can't blame 'em, for lookin' at me as if I can't change

With that said still I'ma rise
Though I keep it still in lies
Good ahead, reveal your disguise
Maybe that'll kill the surprise
Sometimes I feel deprived
Started when the guilt arrived
I noticed that the hills have eyes, when you wanna heal's a demise

And your man's on the ledge, niggas tamperin' with my head
I ain't gettin' head in the Phantom, phantoms in my head
Can't escape, figured I would be a candidate
I ain't gotta upper hand to date, can't be fate
Must think that I can handle weight

See I'm thinkin' of mansions, lakes
I was thinkin Mandalay, thinkin' I'd expand my state
That's just a chance I'd take, bow to my knees
So the crowd to please, put 'em in the mouth of the beast
Crazy they ain't make him out to be
I'm just tryin' make it out at least, please

(Four walls) see what I'm talkin' about
(They surround me)
They ain't really got terms for shit I'm talkin' 'bout (loneliness)
I know they just diagnosed me with this shit (has found me)
Like a, like a early age or shit

I don't mean four walls like literally, nothing like that (I'm waiting for you)
(You return) four walls I'm talkin' 'bout
Ain't no windows, ain't no sunlight (walk right on)
Ain't even a door, no locks, no nothing
Ain't no gettin out that shit, just gotta be stuck (start over again)

I'm talking about four walls in your head, baby
I know a nigga like me
I been talkin' about a nigga like me for a long time
Fucked up out here
Can't even escape
We gon' get them

Nowhere nigga
Don't know, I'm like a dog and ride out
Tell the four walls that
Tell 'em I snuck the guitar player up in this bitch
