Lyrics to Against The Wall
Na-na-no
Put them hands to the ceiling
Back against the wall
So tell me how you’re feeling?
We back for all of y’all, don’t wanna get involved
So how you doing, Kid? I said, "I’m doing fine"
Knowing full well that the whole time that I was lying
Offered me the chance to say what’s on my mind
Politely declined and stepped, heading for the horizon
Days fall off the calendar
Taking stock of the damage done
Sometimes I thought that I’d had enough
But now I’m backing up, feeling spectacular
Hands to the ceiling, got my back against the wall
I been fielding the questions, I been answering the calls
Somewhere along the way this shit got real and left me reeling
With nothing left to do but follow protocol
So how ya doing? How ya dealing? How ya coping?
Whatcha concealing? Whatcha fearing? Whatcha hoping?
What’s happening? Yeah, we back again to get ya open
So quit ya moping, just let go and
Put them hands to the ceiling
Back against the wall
So tell me how you’re feeling?
We back for all of y’all, don’t wanna get involved
Pride before the fall, no, it’s not your fault
I just got some problems in my head I’m tryna solve
Feel ‘em taking hold, lock ‘em in the vault
Knowing that the key is that I strengthen my resolve, yeah
So how you doing, Kid? How you holding up?
You got a lot up on your plate, okay, I know it’s tough
Maybe you’ll tell me all about it when you’re old enough
For now it’s time to roll ‘em up and try to soldier on
And that’s an order, you gotta keep ya head above water
Or you’re a goner, don’t say I didn’t warn ya
‘cause if they only knew what you been going through
Then maybe they could tell you
What the fuck you’re supposed to do, look
I’m feeling good, I’m feeling great, I’m feeling wonderful
I’m feeling shook, feeling afraid, I’m feeling vulnerable
All alone tryna make it through the maze
Even though I know that most of you relate
There’s only so much you can take
Carrying this weight might break you
Know that it is not too late
You can find a way to make do
Only so much you can take
Carrying this weight might break you
So here we go again, the walls are closing in
The only way we’re gonna win is
Put them hands to the ceiling
Back against the wall
So tell me how you’re feeling?
We back for all of y’all, don’t wanna get involved
Put them hands to the ceiling
Back against the wall
So tell me how you’re feeling?
We back for all of y’all, don’t wanna get involved
So how you doing, Kid? I said, "I’m doing fine"
Knowing full well that the whole time that I was lying
Offered me the chance to say what’s on my mind
Politely declined and stepped, heading for the horizon
Days fall off the calendar
Taking stock of the damage done
Sometimes I thought that I’d had enough
But now I’m backing up, feeling spectacular
