These Walls

Jump to Comments

 They say if these walls could talk sometimes I feel as if these

walls stalk

They’re constantly talking to me

Wall number three talks about felonies, lawyer fees, trial by juries calling

me number twenty that ain’t my name

Wall number four be buggin, he’s temperamental

talking about these fake thugs thuggin

you know the ones that talk louder than a mothafucka but

ain’t sayin nothing – yeah, that’s number four

Wall number one talks about my son and how I fell off

my feet, how I can’t feed Julius anything to eat, how our

father-son relationship suffers week to week

Then there’s wall number two he talks about you

he says you won’t last eventually you’ll be through

he told me the best way to deal with this is to get

rid of you

Damn these walls is a mutha’ they’re affecting all areas of my life

my son, my brother, my mother, my wife

Man, bump these walls—they’re trying to take over, trying to tell me

it’s over

Man, forget these walls—I’ve fought but they’re still in my thoughts

Man, fuck these walls—they told me I can’t go home they said

it’s all going to be gone

Man, I’m just trippin’—they just walls
