Joe Budden - 4 Walls Lyrics






[computer typing]

[Intro over Chorus]
See, me? I'm talkin' bout somethin called...somethin' I like to call "it"
Ain't really got a name fro it
Only certain niggas suffer from this shit
Talkin' bout niggas that got like, niggas that got like a 6th sense
Sometimes you see shit that ain't there
Sometimes you hear shit ain't no body said nothin'
Sometimes you think you somewhere and you really somewhere totally different
It's almost like you hallucinating
But you sober, you ain't high. No drugs and nothin' like that
Sometimes you can BE high. Talkin' bout like, some paranoia or some shit

[Chorus]
Four walls, they surround me. Loneliness has found me
I'm waiting for you to return. Open the door, walk right on in
Darling let's start all over again

Look. I don't give a fuck again
Thoughts in my head, lookin' like a nigga stuck with them
Wishing it abruptly ends. But God woke him up again
Everything is seeming so unfair. So unclear
Tryin' to reach out no one's there
Four walls tell em go run where no one cares
Screamin' this too shall pass
ridin' on fumes without gas, bills pilin' up without cash
Tryna maintain and outlast
Pray for me, keep tellin' niggas patiently wait for me
Keep tellin haters wait and see, I'm really tryna fill a vacancy
Been a long time it's taking me. Muhhfuckas keep mistakin' me
Mistakenly, cagin' me. Niggas never had no faith in me
Just a few pennies from dead
I got no identity left, victim of idenity theft
Problems never knew, it's revenue. Keep blamin' em it's never you
Keep tellin' baby girl I'm gonna leave and never do
Cause even when a nigga needs space, When you lookin' for a little leeway
Somebody puts it on replay, it's like it gets louder with each day
Pray

[Chorus]
Four walls, they surround me. Loneliness has found me
I'm waiting for you to return. Open the door, walk right on in
Darling let's start all over again

Look, look. I'm tryna keep it formal now. But the pressure's on him now
I'll go ahead and warn you now, I'm tryna 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'm a rise. Though I keep it still in lies
Go ahead reveal your disguise, maybe that'll kill the surprise
Sometimes I feel deprived. Startin' when the guilt arrives
I noticed that the hills have eyes. When you on a heels of demise
And your man's on a ledge. Niggas tamperin' with my head
Hangin' head in the Phantom. Phantom's in my head
Can't escape, figured I'd 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 stay
That's just the chance I'll take
Bow to my knees so the crowd appease, put em in the mouth of the beast
Crazy they didn't make him out to be
I'm just tryin' to make it out at least. Please

[Refrain]

[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 four walls literally, nothin' like that
Four walls, I'm talkin' bout..
Ain't no windows. Ain't no sunlight. Ain't even a door
No locks, no nothing. Ain't gettin' outta that shit
You just try and get stuck
I'm talkin' bout four walls in ya head baby

I know a nigga like me
I been talkin' about a niggle like me for a long time
Fucked up out here
Can't even escape
We gon get em (haha)

    JScriptz978 I love that song tho... if I gotta go..

  59. J.... ....

    @ThaGiver Actually, Mood Muzik 3.5 Was Just Mood Muzik 3 With No DJ... This Was On "Mood Muzik 3: The Album" Which Was The Retail Version Sold In Stores...

  60. J.... ....

    @ns19boy - Co-Sign! People seriously think that "Pump it up" Joey is the same thing as the beast that started slaughterhouse! Seriously there are few people with the lyrical skills as Joe. To name a few I'd say Eminem, Jay-Z, (Old) Dre, Andre 300, The other 3 members of slaughterhouse. And I'd say my nucca J. Cole! I can be forgetting a few but w/e. And it says a lot that he has 3 members with him...and Eminem is trying to sign him. Mood Muzik 4 - Oct. 26 get the word out! Pre-Order now!

  61. G.... ....

    @royalnash go listen to padded room

  62. A.... M....

    this song is everything

  63. T.... ....

    GROUND 'EM" UP RECORDS

  64. d.... ....

    i aint getting head in the phantom, phantom's in my head
    DAMN
    sick.

  65. N.... J....

    Everything is in your mind,no matter where u live.Peace...

  66. M.... ....

    I don't live in a ghetto nor a good neighbourhood but i love in a good apartment, I don't know why that has to stop me from liking Budden's music, because frankly I love his music because it's message relates to me 100 percent sometimes.

  67. B.... J....

    thanks dude x

  68. M.... S....

    @FazBlud1 Eddie Holman - Four Walls

  69. M.... ....

    please stop talking, i hate people who think they know everything about hip hop. It's music, people like what they like, if someone likes commercial they like commercial, there is no "meaning of hip hop", it's music. Learn how to type properly, and also if he was white, lived in the suburbs, and had a fancy house that's great, does that have to stop someone from apperciting music? Everything has to be "ghetto"? You're very immature. Don't comment if you have nothing but comments like these.

  70. D.... ....

    the guitar sample?? where is it from? Santana???

  71. J.... ....

    There was a MM 3.5 mixtape, but 4 Walls is on the album...

  72. C.... K....

    actually its from Mood Muzik 3.5, and its a mixtape not an album...

  73. J.... ....

    Nah, it's from MM3 The Album...

  74. B.... J....

    guys, which song is this chorus from? please reply to this or send me a mail

  75. M.... ....

    @icegkingdom mate, do us all a favour and shut the fuck up, if your not gonna spell properly and make it easy for people to read your flame posts, dont fucking do it at all.

  76. M.... ....

    i see you post on most of the joe budden videos, respect man. I don't comment much but i read them. :)

  77. r.... ....

    pac has a better catalog than nas you knuckleheads

  78. r.... ....

    pac my boy

  79. W.... ....

    lol canibus was killed by eminem

  80. S.... ....

    go listen to flo rida,wayne or gucci if u think this is boring then..
    aint nuttin boring about sum real shit.
    u just simple minded nd can never comperhend what hes saying.

  81. s.... ....

    Eddie Holman's "Four Walls"

  82. K.... H....

    this is quite similar to nas-heaven

  83. D.... ....

    haha, why does everybody beef in Joe budden comments? what happened to hip hop that makes people react positively?

  84. H.... S....

    loll check in about 3 years

  85. m.... ....

    Im tired of ppl saying sumthing wen ppl say a line from sum1 else its not like da whole song is from sum1 elses mouth..........+ if u dnt like wat he tlks bout dats kewl but dnt lie & say he sucks wen he is 1 of da best of all time & he tlks bout deep things................den ur jus stupid

  86. m.... ....

    u stupid

  87. M.... O....

    I fucking hate pseudointellectuals that just grew a brain yesterday and somehow think they're the authority on folks' artistic outlets.
    You fail at winning.

  88. J.... D....

    all three of them r in my top 5

  89. b.... ....

    i agree dude
    nas i s the best

  90. t.... ....

    i never said your opinion was wrong read my post again and his wordplay is not on level with elite? who has better wordplay than him? there might be some but i don't know not one rapper that has a better catalog than Nas his compilation album "Lost Tapes" some even call a classic i mean Nas is one of the best. And lastly i know what an opinion is... the fact that you said i said that your opinion is wrong is completely false i never said your opinion was wrong check my post i just disagreed.

  91. M.... G....

    but isnt the padded room an album?
    not a mixtape

  92. M.... G....

    obviously you missed the part where this is all based on opinion........ soooo

    IN MY OPINION!!

    i think what i think.. how can you tell me that what i think is wrong.... ITS WHAT I THINK... there is no set answer,in my opinion, nas fell off. there. his word play is not on the level of the elite.... in my opinion...
    do you get the concept of opion?
    1. A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof: and given by an expert: a medical opinion.

  93. t.... ....

    Nas still makes great music you makin seem like he make garbage albums. dude is one of the best rappers of all time and still makes one of the best music out there untitled was a great album and so was hip hop was dead so wtf you talkin about....Nas didn't pass the torch to no one you makin it seem like he retired or somethin. Lupe on his way he has two amazing albums and Joe Budden he is one of the best right now i am afraid if he will ever blow probably not but still i will always be a fan.

  94. M.... G....

    alive, i agree, but in the last 6 years, no body had put out so much quantity with as much quality as joe... in my opinion, the mood muziks will be regarded as the greatest mixtape tun of all time...

    nas's glory days are over....

    he passed the torch down to lupe, joe, and a very few other elite minds

    OH AND ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS, KANYE WEST SAID THAT "SOULJA BOY IS THE NEXT NAS"

    amazing stupidity.

  95. D.... N....

    lmao get a clue

  96. t.... ....

    I think Nas is the best alive but Buddens is a amazing rapper and Lupe is also really good he is under rated
