I've been building walls, hanging up the phone when she calls If she leaves a message I delete it by tomorrow I cannot be bothered listening to y'all Fall outta touch, I ain't doing much cause I've been building walls, let the phone ring when you call Wondering if you can see me when I stall So I draw lines of defense, border rifts stiff marks on the wall Don't trust none of y'all He said yo, this is border patrol Ordered to slow check suspect vehicles Step on your neck if you look like illegal Residents, cause the president hates your people I don't But f*ck it I'mma need ya to go Back to your homeland cause we the people Don't know how to discern good from evil Or help when our neighbors in need So God damn it, I can't help you Even if you need it the most I'm so greedy and I watch you as you bleed to the coast F*ck Mexico, we got problems here on our own There ain't no sanctuary here in my home And I've been working so hard I feel like I just did it all on my own But I know some people who helped me out when I was alone But when they call for help, I never pick up the phone When they call I never pick up the phone because I've been building walls, hanging up the phone when she calls If she leaves a message I delete it by tomorrow I cannot be bothered listening to y'all Fall outta touch, I ain't doing much cause I've been building walls, let the phone ring when you call Wondering if you can see me when I stall So I draw lines of defense, border rifts stiff marks on the wall Don't trust none of y'all I look down at my phone as it rings Thinking I cannot be bothered today Hoping whoever it is goes far away cause My mental state is not dealing today So I, wait for it to stop ringing It never stops ringing, I get a bad feeling I try to stop thinking, all of these stops sinking My inner thoughts clinging, give in to thoughts feeling I'm gonna POP screaming If this isn't important I open up my messages and feel the stabs of a thorn in my chest I had way too many messages missed My friend is in the hospital with shards of glass in her neck Her family tried to give me the news as soon as they heard But I never checked my messages from bridges I burned They said she tried to take her life up at the end of the term She tried to reach out for help the message I never returned said "Dear Joey I've known you since we were just lil' homies We grew up in the same town, both used to be lonely I miss the days when we use to kick it cause lately I've been Hating my environment, I'm tired of this dire shit I'm like one bad day away from being fired and I don't wanna quit, but I'm sick of being this tired man I know that lately you've been so busy, writing all of your music Training and getting jiggy I just wish you would've picked up the phone I'm starting to feel like I use to feel back at my home My old home, you know the place that I hated to go A war zone full of hate I would try to postpone These dark thoughts, cause they find their way inside me I rot It might be too late by the time you read this man, I hope not Anyways man, I got a feeling now that this is the end No matter what happens you know I'll always call you my friend It's funny, with you I never had to hide all my flaws We used to be so close, but now it seems like You've been building walls, let the phone ring when I call If I leave a message you delete it by tomorrow You cannot be bothered listening to me Fall outta touch I ain't doing much cause" I WAS building walls, let the phone ring when she called Wondering if she could see me when I stall So I drew lines of defense, border rifts stiff marks on the wall That's the reason that I fall
