The Walls

[Shaggy:]

I sit up at night, it's at least 3 or 4

Blood drippin out my knuckles

From knocking skin on drywall

I see a face like flashlights on they chins

The more I blink the more it happens again, damn

Victims, from like '89

Floating their faces on the wall like it's the last time

I'm gonna see them again

The same time every night

The wall gets bigger with every flash of day light

[Madrox:]

Are they like closing in on me

Walls confining me, inside of me

There's an emptiness that won't go away

I never said that I was right inside of my mind

But I'm sure over time I'll learn to climb the walls

I'm sure that over time I'll learn to right all of my wrongs

Sure it's right, four walls reflecting my life

Every night that I sit and watch the replay

[Chorus:]

Surrounding me (surrounding me)

These walls ain't holding me back (holding me back)

They can't tell me where we at (me where we at)

I'm uncontainable (uncontainable)

Surrounding me (surrounding me)

These walls ain't holding me back (holding me back)

They can't tell me where we at (me where we at)

I remain in control (in control)

[Monoxide:]

Tell 'em

I can feel them looking at me

I can even hear them talking when I'm tryin to sleep

Sometimes they start spinnin or just closing in

And it's just too much to beat, I can't win

Don't grin, it ain't funny

I just set it ablaze

I had to burn the whole house to escape that maze.

I was burned from my neck to my feet

But it was worth it until I went back

I didn't even hurt it

[Violent J:]

One wall surrounds me, no roof, no floor

I started falling as soon as I stepped through the door

Plain walls, don't let me see a crack in the paint

Or I'm focusing in and focused I ain't

Clang bang, I bloody the walls

I leave stains

So the next man falling at least can see things

I think of my life, reliving every memory

Starring into the walls of my epitome, falling

[Blaze (x2):]

Nothing but walls, but its all right

My back to the room in the corner all night

(Even in the darkness)

Nothing but walls, but its all right

My back to the room in the corner all night

(These walls keep watching me)

[ABK:]

I always catch myself starring into a dark daze

Same place, new age

Hoes punch with rage

If they could talk, they probably wouldn't say much

Because I always keep myself locked away in such

Such a sheltered life being wasted away

Like four walls on a casket being put in a grave

So many hours spent looking at nothing

But I keep on glaring steadily hoping for something

[Blaze:]

I stare into space through my cell gate

For 80 years I've been known as inmate 14278

Walls can't confine me, on the noose every week

And when the guards take me for my shock treatment

I be leaving out the space in my head

To control the minds and unearth the undead

The problem is, I'm only out for two days

And I return to my coma and these walls and bars around me.

[Chorus:]

Surrounding me

These walls ain't holding me back

They can't tell me where we at

I'm uncontainable

Surrounding me

These walls ain't holding me back

They can't tell me where we at

I remain in control

Surrounding me

These walls ain't holding me back

They can't tell me where we at

I remain in control

Surrounding me

These walls ain't holding me back

They can't tell me where we at

I remain in control

Surrounding me

Holding me back

Holding me back

In control

Surrounding me (surrounding me)

These walls ain't holding me back (holding me back)

They can't tell me where we at (me where we at)

I'm uncontainable (uncontainable)

Surrounding me (surrounding me)

These walls ain't holding me back (holding me back)

They can't tell me where we at (me where we at)

I remain in control (in control)
