Z-FLO - Brick Wall lyrics

Verse 1 (Z-FLO): Yo As I lean on this brick wall I think about All the exes I've pissed off in my existence A good catch only came every so often, didn't it? Broken hearts even though the opposite I intended She's begging, praying to God we can pull it through My mind was immature, my lies were bulletproof But that was then, you think you ready to hear the truth? Then let me get this off my chest, no vest, bullet through You always claim you prefer that I tell you everything That's what you dream, but reality's not the same It's difficult when I promised to protect you from pain And I promised that I'd be honest and that I'd never change But you saw me as this knight in armor when I wasn't And I only made mistakes because what human doesn't? So be honest with yourself lady— now would you have accepted your baby If you discovered that he wasn't perfect? Maybe….. (Maybe not.... maybe you're the type that believes in fairy tales) Chorus: I'm lonely, so I'll just think about Whatever crosses my mind, I'm thinking I guess I'll tell you a story ‘bout A Brick Wall, A Brick Wall And I won't hesitate to let it out Whatever crosses my mind, I'm saying I guess I'll tell you the story now This Brick Wall, This Brick Wall Verse 2 (Z-FLO): As I lean on this brick wall, I think about How working a 9-5 got me under pressure And how the hell is depression trying to teach me a lesson And why do I sit here stressing if I'm so full of blessings? I was the best at electives during my adolescence Now it seems I'm more full of questions that aren't at all perplexing And you expect that I'm ignorant but with all respect I think you lack the ability to look from a new perspective Why do people go preaching what they don't understand? Why is life about paper and rubber bands? Is it fair that even if you never understand why That you're obligated to chase it til the day that you die? 'Cause people can only help people "because of money," But I see people NOT helping people, "because of money,” So uh…. I'm not the one to blame. You spend 9 years on entertainment And I just write music to keep me sane ('Cause I'm crazy.... in a normal world...) Chorus: I'm lonely, so I'll just think about Whatever crosses my mind, I'm thinking I guess I'll tell you a story ‘bout A Brick Wall, A Brick Wall And I won't hesitate to let it out Whatever crosses my mind, I'm saying I guess I'll tell you the story now This Brick Wall, This Brick Wall Verse 3 (Marcus the Poet): Yo I think about my days as a child, how a brother ran wild Playing basketball 'til the sun went down How the times change, not always for the better And life can be a real b**h, only if you let her So I gotta take control, play my hand, never fold If I plan to make a million 'fore God call my soul Free my mind from these shackles of reality The world don't exist, it was something I'm imagining My girl's an enigma, friends an illusion Life's an oasis.... Nah, it's confusion I'm so sick of losing, I'm taking the steps I'm checking myself, I gotta do some more for my health 'Cause feeling good is more important than wealth Yo, and even when you down dog, the money don't help You can take it from me, man I been through it all Valleys and creeks, winter, spring, summer and fall, y'all... (So uh, man ya'll don't need to leave me by myself... man I get to thinking wayyy too much.... Reminiscing.) Chorus: I'm lonely, so I'll just think about Whatever crosses my mind, I'm thinking I guess I'll tell you a story ‘bout A Brick Wall, A Brick Wall And I won't hesitate to let it out Whatever crosses my mind, I'm saying I guess I'll tell you the story now This Brick Wall, This Brick Wall
