Walls Up

Tryna cope, 'cause I was finished with it

Insecure, been demented

Independent, knowin' I get lower when the window's tinted

In to win it, had to check my mans because it's been a minute

Told me I would learn to understand if I survive a critic

Live for digits, calculate the process and my pockets winnin'

Paperwork is shabby, then you surely get an odd percentage

Novice business, raised a man to God, but this is non-religious

Nights I had to pray for insight, we lacked the proper vision

Proper sinnin', had to bite my tongue, we eat off euphemism

Too vanilla, say he soft servе until a goofy split him

God forbid I follow what the past has shown mе with abandon

Rocks are thrown in, I bestow the virtue when I feel outstanded

Had to harness what I deem as genius when I feel outlandish

Life is ways to show us where we goin' even if we vanish

I've been ghosted, I don't feel emotions, this is not a drill

Only difference is, I ain't scared to tell you how I feel

The walls was up

Now I put my walls up

Last time I was out of service, now you pick my calls up

Last time I was too polite, I had to change it all up

This is what you sacrifice, I can't just say it's all love, yeah

Now I put my walls up

Last time I was out of service, now you pick my calls up

Last time I was too polite, I had to change it all up

This is what you sacrifice, I can't just say it's all love, yeah

Just need some space to breathe, I got too much to lose about

And this fight gon' stay between us 'cause of how you view the clout

I was dangerous as a gangsta, but I had to weed 'em out

Mama told me I was loved, fulfillin' every dream and doubt

Every angle and conundrum, intersections in the dungeon

In the boroughs of my mind, I tried escapin', but I was wonderin'

Would I ever be abundant in a set of shallow water?

I was down and out before I grew mature and righteous sort of

Walkin' in that tall grass, I perform and fall fast

When the opposition comin', then you better haul ass
