Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Sparse 808 pulse, distant siren
"Walls Around Me"—three words, hold steady
(yeah)
[Verse 1]
You don't know what I go through every day
Neon on wet pavement, mama's number on my face
Bullet holes like constellations in my block's skyline
Clock ticks in the alley where the lost boys hide
I move like armor, I carry weight for two
Silent vows in the dark — I ride for you
Bricks and sirens, past choices tighten like a chain
But I push through smoke and rain, bear the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlight confessions, broken porch steps when I pace
Echoes of a name I couldn't save, I taste the waste
(soft ad-lib: yeah)
[Chorus]
Walls around me — can't see the cracks (Walls around me)
Sirens and bricks, I'm walking through the past (Walls around me)
You don't know what I go through every day
But I stand, I guard, I keep the night at bay
Walls around me — can't see the cracks (same cadence)
I move for the real ones, never turn my back
[Verse 2]
Triplet hi-hats stitch time to my heartbeat
808 low like thunder under concrete
Real ones all up on me, shoulders close like oath
Pocket full of numbers, one less ghost
Mama praying on the floor, candles burn slow
Debt in the ledger, blood on the invoice though
I learned to speak in glances, keep my story lean
Survival's grammar: short sentences, mean dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Pavement remembers every step I couldn't take back
Tattoo of loss behind my smile, constant flak
(soft ad-lib: hold on)
[Chorus]
Walls around me — can't see the cracks (Walls around me)
Sirens and bricks, I'm walking through the past (Walls around me)
You don't know what I go through every day
But I stand, I guard, I keep the night at bay
Walls around me — can't see the cracks (same cadence)
I move for the real ones, never turn my back
[Bridge]
Night I lost him — call dropped, last cigarette smoke
Mama's voice on voicemail, I choke on every note
Owed more than money, owed him a tomorrow we couldn't buy
Fear taught me to steady hands and a colder eye
This is the debt that taught me how to pray and how to fight
This is the moment where I choose to rewrite the night
(half-whisper) I stay, I stand, I pay in scars
[Final Chorus]
Walls around me — I patch the cracks (Walls around me)
Sirens fade slow, but I remember every past (Walls around me)
You don't know what I go through every day
Still I stand, I guard, keep the wolves at bay
Walls around me — I patch the cracks (final cadence)
For my people, for my own, I never step back
[Outro]
808 sigh, distant melody rises like dawn
(soft ad-lib: yeah, survive)
"Walls Around Me" — survive, breathe, go on
(whisper) I stay for you, I stay for us
