Back Against The Wall (Letra)

Tonight I’ll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I’ve fallen to my knees

I said you got me where you want me again
And I can’t turn away
I’m hanging by a thread and I’m feelin’ like a fool
I’m stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away

Blanket of silence
Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become
A platform for your lies

I said you got me where you want me again
And I can’t turn away
I’m hanging by a thread and I’m feelin’ like a fool
I’m stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away

Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh god
I ain’t got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky
While shamefully I make my plea
The alters callin’
But my legs won’t seem to stand
Guess I’m a coward
Scared to face the man I am

I said you got me where you want me again
And I can’t turn away
I’m hanging by a thread and I’m feelin’ like a fool
I’m stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away

Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh god
I ain’t got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall

Stand up, and with your hand on the bible
Tell the truth to one and all
‘cause you know that feeling
When you’ve got your back against the wall.

My god, it’s only tuesday tomorrow
And "loved one’s" gone and blown it all
Now you’ve got no money and you feel your back against the wall.

Well, if you talk to your brothers and they don’t give a damn
And you look like you’re gonna fall
You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.

Some tripper’s got you right in a corner
And you feel you’re gonna lose it all
Now you don’t want trouble but you feel your back’s against the wall.

So the guy moves forward but you hold him away
Shit there’s no one there to hear you call
So you take your chances and you push him back against the wall.

Now the guy’s in the gutter and you don’t give a damn
And he looks kind of weak and small
‘cause you called his number when you felt your back against the wall.

Stand up, and with your hand on the bible
Tell the truth to one and all
‘cause you know that feeling
When you’ve got your back against the wall.

Well, if you talk to your brothers and they don’t give a damn
And you look like you’re gonna fall
You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.

Tryin to make it..
It’s been a long road
Sic-wid-it records

[master p & e-40]
Unnnnnnnnnggggghhhhh! (c’mon, ooh)
Y’all feel that? (i feel it playboy, i smell you)
It’s real out here 40 (it’s real pee!)

[e-40]
I’m out here in the slums where thugs be usin, ghetto tactics
Like, choppin up candy canes
Sittin on top of a dried up jcpenney day mattress
Whatever it takes to survive, see that’s what i supply
Like slippin and slidin in the grocery store
And settling out of court
Soft white coke a black turn into hard solidses
Thirty-eight snub nosed pistol grip lay nijjas on they wah-wah
The saga continues, the struggle’s just beginnin
And it’s hard to look up to snotty folks, cause they be sinnin
‘pac gone, biggie gone, seagram gone — and we also lost eazy-e
One of the first gangster rappers of all time
To the most vicious and deadliest disease in history since cancer
To acquired immune deficiency syndrome, tombstone
From the graveyard shift, rbl’s mister c
One love, to rappin ron and plann b
Victims of the trigger (unnngggggggghhhhhh)
Po’ out a little liquor

Chorus: repeat 2x

It’s not the same, this world is crazy
We out here goin through it all
Everything must change, it’s gettin shady
Got our backs against the wall

[master p]
Unggggggggghhhhhhh, i shed tears for pain 40, some for anger
Seen bloodshed by crooked cops, and gangbangers
Feel my pain (unnnggghhh) only time’ll change it
And fast money, cars, and bitches got me trapped in this game
And my lil’ homies ballin, picture me fallin
And momma in the funeral screamin and crawlin
Is there a heaven or hell?
To ghetto kids in the anky only time will tell
And jealousy, and envy, come with money
While crooked, politicians, run the country
And it’s a, damn shame to see my, weeples vanish
Now they teach us ebonics, what about english and spanish
I couldn’t, live my life behind bars and gates
While the government play a game called process to eliminate

Chorus

[e-40]
Case #246, shootin in an inhabited area
They was steady complainin about the dope sellin
But they ain’t never been evicted, or convicted
They ain’t never been subpeonaed to court, or arrested
Shackled like an animal for pushin rocks
Dang near choked to death by motorcycle cops
Pepper sprayed and laughed at like that shit was funny
Pregnant breezy threw down on her tummy
Do you ever think i’ll ever be able to get
A chance to repent and ask the lord for forgiveness
Before he close the casket, will my son end up growin up
Without a father will he end up bein a bastard?
A bastard — that’s a good question (unggggggggghhhh!)
I don’t know, i don’t know

Chorus

Can you see now where I stand, my friend?
Will you offer me your helping hand?
And will you cross the void and speak the words?
Rush, I’m beggin’ you, it hurts
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts

I’m standing back against the wall
Dare I to move I got to fall
My heart is blinded by the light
I close my eyes forever
May not turn left, may not turn right
I sense a gap to every side
I’m standing back against the wall
Back against the wall

I can hear it coming closer now
Blaring silence of the dark below
Under my feet I feel it slide like sand
A frequent crushing down
Again, again, again and again

I’m standing back against the wall
Dare I to move I got to fall
My heart is blinded by the light
I close my eyes forever
May not turn left, may not turn right
I sense a gap to every side
I’m standing back against the wall
Back against the wall

Will you cross the void of pride?
Then speak the words
Rush, I’m beggin’ you, it hurts
It hurts, it hurts, yes it hurts

I’m standing back against the wall
Dare I to move I got to fall
My heart is blinded by the light
I close my eyes forever
May not turn left, may not turn right
I sense a gap to every side
I’m standing back against the wall
Back against the wall
