No More White Walls


By: Jordan Vaelei

 

What do you see in a room of white walls?

I see no voice, I see no opinon, no purpose

The same blank walls is a reflection of what I had been doing

I needed some type of structure, motivation to do something I love doing

And with that, I made a choice to rap

I made a choice to live with No More White Walls...

 

Life is too short

Bow your head down for The Man

Bow your head down for the gone

For the less the fortunate, unfortunate

Mom told me Jay you can't go wrong

So I bounced back, return of the mack

Some say I just don't know how to act

Some say you should have done this, done that

But a young tycoon can't take nothing back

I'm a concrete king poured into this earth

Lion in a cage felt like I was cursed

Took for granted what I had, Picasso sitting in the mirror

Victim by choice was the curse, searched for the cure

Blind by the fun and the words

Blind by the urg and her purse

Blind by the worst, worst of the world to my nerves

Shock, boom, where is the pure?

No more white walls, have the whole city singing

Paint the town

I'm gon show the world just how I'm living now

Spray it down

I'm gone show the world the purpose that I found!
