Borders -

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 fuck 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

Fuck 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 I fall
