4 Walls Lyrics


[Intro]
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
(Turn up my voice)
Talking bout niggas that got like,
Niggas that got like the sixth sense or something..
Sometimes you see shit that ain't there
Sometimes you hear shit that nobody said
Sometimes you think somewhere, that you really somewhere totally different
It's almost like you hallucinating, but you sober, you ain't high
No drugs or nothing like that.Sometimes you be high..
Talkin bout paranoias and shit..[Verse 1]
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,
Tryin reach out, no ones there,
4 Walls tellin him go run where? No one cares,
Screamin this too shall pass, ridin on ??? without gas,
Bills pilin up with out cash, tryin to maintain and out last,
Pray for me, keep tellin niggas patiently, wait for me,
Keep tellin my haters wait and see,
I'm really tryin' to fill the vacancy,
Been along time its taken me,
Mothafuckas keep mistaken 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 pennys 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 Im 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,
like it gets louder with each day,
Pray.[Chorus]
4 Walls, 4 Walls
They surround me
Loneliness
Has found me
I'm wating for you
To return
Open the door
Walk right on and..
Homie let's start all over again[Verse 2]
Look, Look, I'm tryin to keep it formal now,
But the pressures on him now,
I'll go ahead and warn you now,
I'm tryin to 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 heals a demise
And ya mans on a 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 didn't make him out to be,
I'm just tryin' make it out atleast, please.[Outro over Chorus]
See what I'm talkin bout,
they ain't really got terms for shit I'm talkin bout
I know they just diagnosed me with this shit,
Like a, like a early age or shit
I don't mean 4 Walls like literally, nothing like that
4 Walls I'm talkin bout..
Ain't no windows
Ain't no sunlight
Ain't even a door
No locks no nothing
Ain't no gettin out that shit, ??
I'M TALKIN BOUT 4 WALLS IN YA HEAD BABYI 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 EM (Haha)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Joe Budden (born August 31, 1980 in Spanish Harlem, New York) is a rapper from Jersey City, New Jersey. In recent years he has come to prominence as one of the most skilled and sought-for rappers in the game, despite his best work being on the internet mixtape circuit.

His music initially gained popularity on New York City's famous mixtape circuit in 2002. Although his biggest mainstream hit to-date is 2003's up-tempo "Pump It Up," Budden is known for his reflective and often insecure lyrics. He is widely considered one of hip-hop's most gifted lyricists, thanks largely in part to his numerous works on mixtapes by such DJ's as DJ Clue, Clinton Sparks, DJ On Point, and DJ Envy.

On one particular mixtape song, called "Crosscountry Connection", Joe started a feud with the G-Unit camp. The Game took offense to a line where Joe claims that gangsta rappers should "be in a G-Unit video with all the gangsta actors", obviously claiming G-Unit are fake gangstas. Unbeknownst to Budden, The Game had just recently signed with the G-Unit camp. The Game and G-Unit fired a few diss songs Budden's way; he replied in kind. The feud was ended when The Game and Budden met in a club in New York City and put the past aside.

During winter and spring of 2005, through Joe Budden mixtapes and hip-hop rumor mills, it was said that he departed from Def Jam to Roc-A-Fella Records with CEO Damon Dash. In reality, Budden was legally obligated to stay with Def Jam. In the beginning of Budden's career, it took him a long time to get public exposure, working more than three years from the first time his demo tapes were heard to the first time he was on the radio. He has appeared on many tracks with other artists including 112, Amerie, Brandy, Cassidy, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Freeway, Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Jin, Kelly Rowland, Lil' Kim, LL Cool J, Marques Houston, Usher, and more recently a remix to the hit song "Hollaback Girl" with Gwen Stefani. Some of these were not official remixes, simply mixtape tracks where a Joe Budden verse was added to an existing song.

Though he is thought of as one of rap's most skilled lyricists, Budden's success outside of the mixtape circuit has been marginal purposely. He is known to have invested in real estate in North Jersey and instead of blowing up into the rap scene he decided to make money from other methods instead of getting a record deal. His music is usually more sensitive and thought provoking than that of gangsta rappers, but subsequently, it is also more explicit and unrelenting than most "conscious" or "backpack" rappers.

In late December of 2005, Joe released a mixtape after almost 5 months of being absent from the game. Mood Muzik 2 is considered by most to be a lyrical masterpiece and with so deep tracks such as "Dumb Out" and the emotional "3 Sides to a Story" (in which Joe harrowingly describes a disturbing situation), many wondered had these songs originally been scheduled to appear on The Growth.

In 2007, he was released by Def Jam. In December 2007, he released Mood Muzik 3, which many are calling the best mixtape of the year, with some even saying it's the album of the year since it contains all original material. Some have questioned this since the beat for 'Ventilation' is an edit of 'It's A Shame (Da Butcher's Mix)' by Kool G Rap.

In October 2008, Joe Budden released another highly-rated mixtape, Halfway House; featuring album cuts such as 'Touch & Go' and a snippet of 'Blood On The Wall', a diss to Prodigy of Mobb Deep.

In his career up to his 2nd album, he has worked with artists such as Busta Rhymes and Christina Milian, and has been involved in feuds with rapper The Game and G-Unit. He has since reconciled with The Game.

Since this reconciliation, Joe Budden signed to Amalgam Digital records, and both artists finalized the beef and have collaborated on the single 'The Future' for Joe Budden's now-released 2nd album, Padded Room. The album released February 24th in the U.S. and March 3rd in Canada.
