Concrete Walls

[Chorus] I put my heart in the concrete Now I can't feel pain Walked all over, can't feel pain You won't ever know my pain [Verse] Ay, yo, the funny thing is I'm supposed to be happy Through some sunny days, somehow, I still end up with nappy Silly me, thought I'd be gettin' cream, all like a zappy Now my life's like a dream, I guess it was the kind that's nappy Gettin' dizzy, these bars comin' out fast In the past, I was happy, 'fore the fast come and outlast I was flyin' high, now I'm down, I'm flyin' Southwest Used to live to die, now I die to live, and I love less Used to love it when they came in, wantin' somethin' from me 'Til I realized that nothin' from nothin' means somethin' If I give you my all and you still say you wantin' somethin' That's a negatory, and I will not be frontin' I'ma be real, and I ain't just a shadow So if you wanna see the light, you gotta come see the real I'm just a man of steel So if you try to put me on, I just can't feel, and it is what it is That's how it is My heart's nothin' but a giant brick [Chorus] I put my heart in the concrete Now I can't feel pain Walked all over, can't feel pain You won't ever know my pain I put my heart in the concrete Now I can't feel pain Walked all over, can't feel pain You won't ever know my pain [Verse 2] I can tell you how it started, but not how it's gonna end Told me, "Do it for yourself," but somehow, it wasn't Told me, "Go on and enjoy," and I did, but it wasn't Once again, I was all alone, and that's just how it was, man Got all these questions, askin' me, "What you gonna do?" Now I gotta answer, and I'm not askin' you It's called silence, and I just might be the answer
