Kendrick Lamar - These Walls

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]

I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence

Sometimes, I did the same

If these walls could talk (x6)

[Bridge: Anna Wise]

Sex, she just want to close her eyes and sway

If you, if you, if you exercise your right to work it out

Its true, its true, its true, shout out to the birthday girls say hey

Say hey, everyone deserves a night to play

And she plays only when you tell her no

[Hook: Bilal]

If these walls could talk

I can feel your reign when it cries gold lives inside of you

If these walls could talk

I love it when I’m in it, I love it when I’m in it

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

If these walls could talk they’d tell me to swim good

No boat I float better than he would

No life jacket I’m not the guard in Nazareth

But your flood can be misunderstood

Wall telling me they full of pain, resentment

Need someone to live in them just to relieve tension

Me? I’m just a tenant

My lord said these walls vacant more than a minute

These walls are vulnerable, exclamation

Interior pink, color coordinated

I interrogated every nook and cranny

I mean its still amazing before they couldn’t stand me

These walls want to cry tears

These walls happier when I’m here

These walls never could hold up

Everytime I come around demolition might crush

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

If these walls could talk they’d tell me to go deep

Yelling at me continuously I can see

Your defense mechanism is my decision

Knock these walls down that’s my religion

Walls feeling like they ready to close in

I suffocate then catch my second wind

I resonate in these walls

I don’t know how long I can wait in these walls

I’ve been on these streets too long looking at you from the outside in

They sing the same old song about how they walls are always the cleanest

I beg to differ, I must’ve missed them

I’m not involved I’d rather diss them

I’d rather call all you put your wall up

Cause when I come around demolition gon’ crush

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

If your walls could talk they’d tell you it’s too late

Your destiny accepted your fate

Burn accessories and stash them where they are

Take the recipe, the bible and god

Wall telling you that commissary is low

Race wars happening no calling CO

No calling your mother to save you

Homies say to you, you're reputable, not acceptable

Your behavior is Sammy Da Bull like a killer that turned snitch

Walls is telling me you a bitch

You pray for appeals hoping the warden could afford them

That sentence so important

Walls telling you to listen to "Sing About Me"

Retaliation is strong you even dream about me

Killed my homeboy and God spared your life

Dumb criminal got indicted the same night

So when you play this song rewind the first verse

About me abusing my power so you can hurt

About me and her in the shower whenever she horny

About me and her in the after hours of the morning

About her baby daddy currently serving life

And how she think about you until we meet up at night

About the only girl that cared about you when you asked her

And how she fucking on a famous rapper

Walls could talk

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]

I remember you was conflicted

Misusing your influence

Sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screaming in a hotel room
